    I’ve got an 80mm Reba 29er. I reckon I could do with upping to 100mm. So whipped the spring out thinking I could take out a spacer to get it up to 100mm. (Stanchions have 80/100/120 markings). But no spacer, so it’s a fixed 80mm spring.

    So I assume a 100mm air spring assembly is all I need? But will I also need to swap the damper?

    Edit – just had a thought – presumably I just need to measure the length of the existing damper shaft to see if it had been running compressed at full extension or not. [thinking out loud. Should think before I post! 🙂 ]

    Like a proper coil spring? I’d have thought the other springs would have been on the push rod below the stancion.

    You need a new air shaft. Look for the number on the rockshox parts catalog and order from tf tuned / amazon etc

    You don’t need to swap anything else.

    Thanks. Air shaft only then. Good – was hoping it would be a cheap fix.

    mtbfix – no I meant the air shaft, seals etc that make up the air spring.

    what year Reba? I am just about to order a 120mm airshaft to replace the 100mm on my 2013 solo air. They are around £20-25 normally for the solo air shafts. You dont need the whole assembly with the seal head etc.

    just putting an order through myself but will be held up by the Pike air shaft and spare seal head being out of stock. Postage isnt bad though at about £6.
