Is there one? I’ve just managed to get a SH Orbea MX24 for my son, and he’s bouncing off the walls with excitement. He’s been saying for ages he wants suspension, and I know most kids stuff is rubbish, however I’ve got a set of older 26″ Revelations on a not much used jump bike that I could temporarily swap for rigids – but I think they’re on 130mm at the mo which is waaay too much.
Is there any reason I can’t add a shedload of spacers? To take it down to say, 70/80mm? They’re dual air so there’s no transfer port to worry about.
Secondly, is there any alternative to the RS spacers? They’re about 15 quid and the budget is already stretched super tight with the bike purchase! Plus I’ll need to build a new wheel, so every little bit helps! I don’t have a lathe…
