650b/27.5"
130mm travel
34mm+ stanchions
Tapered steerer
15x100mm/110mm (current wheels aren't boost but am happy to adapt for now)

Not too spendy, if possible!

I've a Yari that meets that specification.

However I'm very 'meh' about it. Small bump compliance is not great and fast hits seem to choke it. Just like my 2005 Manitou Black. I would try something else.

Can I beat Coomber again?

I have a set on my Occam. Now I'm getting them dialled in, they're great. Although the damper does occasionally sound like an injured kitten.

Travel can be adjusted in 20mm increments on mine, but I think fox spacers fit for the extra 10mm.

I'm in the same boat, looking for similar forks.

I keep coming back to these and hovering over the buy button!

Also these: https://www.merlincycles.com/rockshox-revelation-rc-debonair-boost-forks-oem-275-122311.html

Thoughts on Rhythm (£270) v Float 34 (£350) v Revelation (£350)?

How odd. Were definitely 250 before. The On-one/planet x pricing yo-yo in action!

Rhythm's bought from Bike Discount, there were actually some 130mm cheaper than those 140's in the link, albeit with a shorter steerer, but I've checked and only a few mm off my Reba's.

Not so stealth add - 120mm, solo air, 650b, tapered Reba RL, crown lockout, 15x100mm axle, now for sale - in excellent condition.
