its the 2007 style, had one and ran some 80mm sids on it, which were rubbish.

wouldnt mind some 100mm rebas what does everyone have and whats best?

older giants fare well with an inch extra fork than they should have.

XtC is a weapon with 105mm bombers.

130mm revs on my trance

i believe on the newer ones its been "corrected"
but if i had an old anthem, i would go with some rebas i reckon... or longer sids?

Hi Tim,

I got a set of 2009 Rebas SL's for £150. Excellent condition with a 175mm steerer. Email me if you want pics.

Reba's, at worst you could change the travel to 80mm

Anthem was designed round a 100mm fork. I had 100mm magura menjas on mine at it was pretty good considering it didn't fit all that well.

100mm rebas worked brilliantly on the one I tried out.

I have 100mm rebas on a 2006 anthem and it handles very nicely. Better than the 80mm it was designed around imho. In New Zealand they used to fit 100mm forks to their anthem range – everywhere else was fitting them with 80mm. I think the kiwis had the right idea.
