I have a pair of RS Reba SL 29er forks currently set at 80mm. I believe the travel can be increased to 100mm. How easy is it to do this?

Info on the RS website is rather vague.

Cheers.

There should be a 2x 20mm "all travel spacer" clipped onto the shaft in the upper left leg I think. Remove one of them.

Great, thanks for that. I had actually been looking at a different instruction manual on the RS site.

It's dead easy, let the air out of the fork, undo top and bottom bolts, pop the air cylynder out the top and remove the spacer, job done. I serviced mine the other week and did this at the same time, it has made absolutely no difference to the way they ride though...

Matt - Ive just put a spacer in mine to go from 120 to 100 for the Ti29er.

It seems to be fine, although Im not 100% happy that where it says to put the spacer is the best place (you'll see if you do it 🙂 ) for it, I reckon it should go higher up. But still...
