Hellooo oh great and wise!

I have a set of 130mm 26" rev's and a set of 100mm 29" reba's, the rebas have some stanchion wear and the rev's are fine, so will the rev' stanchions fit the reba's? Is it a straight swap or a no go?

Stanchions likely different length.

dead easy to do as long as neither or both have the power bulge. (the don't mix n match very well) , however the offset is different between 26" and 29" forks so you end up with a reba 29er with a 38mm offset which will feel a bit slow unless it's one of the original reba 29ers in which case you'll already be used to it.

having made a few 29er franken forks out of bits of Revs and reba 29er lowers, the stanchions are the same length.

Suppose it means manufacturing less different parts etc.

Thanks, neither have the bulge and The rebas are the originals, so should be a straight swap then?

yep about 30 minutes work. if the revs are u-turn you can have ace adjustable 29er forks. 😀
