Like everyone else on here I've a pair of the Fox 34's on order but (with a likely frame choice not 100% decided on) they may not be quite right as they are for 29ers or 27.5+ really with a-c of 540mm.
Other likely choice is a Reba.
They seem to be made in two sub models - 100/120 and 130/140/150
Does anyone know if the 120 can be taken to 130 somehow - does not sound a good idea even as I type it...
Just linked the one above as the 120 is a great price but RS seem to make so many versions - is there such a thing as:
Reba with Boost spacing and that *can* be switched from 120 to 130?
Either current model or if anyone can suggest a Reba from the last two years or so - happy to go used.
Other fork choice is the Fox 32 below but the Reba seems to be better reviewed and less flexy even though both are 32mm.
Current Reba is an airshaft swap like the Rev, Pike, Yari etc I believe. Older Rebas were travel spacers - this changed around 2013 or so I think?
Not certain you’ll be able to swap in a travel size longer than the largest commercially available though, so possibly a 2017 Rev might be a better bet?
Thanks - what was the spec with the 2017 then? Did they do one that covered 120/130 rather than 100/120 *or* 130/40/50?
2017 Revs went all the way to 150 so you could choose anywhere from 100-150 with a £30 airshaft swap. The only reason I mention 2017 is that the 2018 onward Revelation is no longer a 32mm chassis but has grown into more of a downspec Pike so while the 2013-2017 Rev can be seen as a longer Reba with more options for length and damper, the 2018> model may be a chunkier unit than you wanted although if weight and price is acceptable it’s a better fork in every way.
Thanks, very useful. TBH weight is still important to me and 130 is the absolute max travel I want so if I can get away with a lower/lighter and cheaper 32 Reba that would be preferred.
