How do I identify the right service kit for an old Rockshox fork?

Morning all,

I was just reading that I’m apparently supposed to service my forks after every 25 hours of riding!

Now, the cynic in me thinks that if my forks have been working perfectly happily for 10 years with nothing more than a bit of lubrication applied to the seals, 25 hours is possibly just the manufacturers trying to scam a bit more aftermarket revenue out of customers, but at the same time, I could accept that 10 years is maybe too large an interval to leave it!

With this in mind, I decided to have a look at servicing.

Option one is to send the fork away to get it serviced. This looks like it’s going to cost me around £120 once shipping is included, so frankly isn’t worth it when I could just stick a new fork on for not much more than twice that.

This, then, leaves the DIY option, and that’s where I’m flummoxed, as I have got absolutely no idea what fork kit I need to order.

Then fork in question is a Rockshox Reba SL U-Turn Dual Air with with 85-115mm of travel which dates from roughly 2006.

A bit of googling suggested I might be able to figure this out from a serial number on the back of the crown, but seemingly this model is too old to have a serial number in this place! All I can find is a sticker on the back of the lowers with a number of 15250005.

Can anyone shed any light on what parts I need?

They have an email address that says trade only but they have answered both questions I’ve sent them fairly quickly.
Can’t remember it though …

Download the manual? Service kit numbers are in the back

@dovebiker The SRAM website only seems to go back to 2011 for manuals, and I’m also not exactly sure which model year I’ve got.

I have been trying everything I could to identify exactly what it is, but have so far come up blank…

Ring up TFTuned and see if they can identify and supply it.

Were you planning on doing a full service or just the lowers?

I’m thinking about servicing my forks. My lbs is asking for £85 which includes changing the seals, which to my mind seems like a hell of a lot of money.
Is changing the seals and servicing the forks a hard job? any specialist tools required?

Seal change is easy. You just need to be careful to get them in straight and not damage them as you reinsert the stanchions (take the spring off, slide it over the stanchions then slide stanchions through seals, finally push spring down and back onto the seal.
