Just picked up a pair...

They have the non-boost version at the same price.

2019 model, but new fork for used fork pricing... What's not to like!

Trying to work out what the difference between these and the current Judy are? Both seem to have the motion control damper and 32mm uppers.

Judy are 30mm uppers aren't they? And likely steel - a Judy is around 2100g whereas the Reba is 1700g ISH?

Yes but you need a new air spring assembly.

Yes definitely. I bought a pair from alltricks when they were a little less. just setting realistic expectations when you get to check-out or see the credit card bill for them and it's not 225 😉

I just got a fox 34 rhythm (29, 120mm) off ebay, sold by Wiggle. It's new but has been taken off a bike. Paid 350. I think they had a few more on there.

I've got a used 2018 rev with charger 2.1 and 2021 debonair spring for sale, 29er 120mm but with 130 and 140mm springs thrown in, 160mm steerer (hence the fox, as the bigdog has a 120mm head tube plus external bottom cup that I hadn't factored in!)

I got a fox 34 rhythm 29er 140 From jejames a couple weeks back. Oem fork in a plain cardboard box. £375. May have been the last one though. Wiggle seemed to be selling the same one for £479. No decals.
Came without hose guide though so budget another £15 for that...

Mine are boost. Wiggle are crap with their descriptions. I expect it’s just wrong on the website. I think I read all 34 rhythms are boost.
I bought a Maxle advertised as 1.5 thread pitch the other day. Had to send it back as it was 1.75.
No wonder they can’t sell them.
Spot the difference

Cheers guys,
I bought a pair from wiggle to see what actually turns up and return if no good.
I would need to shorten the travel to get them to work which bumps the price a bit.

Will keep looking as well to see if anything else turns up, the Reba's looked a stonking deal for the cash.

Just had a look on wiggle and seen they have dt Swiss f535 forks for £380! (In the size I want, others bit more)

They seem to review well at £900+

Can’t see any reason not to get any...?

I've got some brand new non boost Rockshox Reba Solo Air 29" for sale - bought for a build but ended up with a frame & fork deal so surplus to requirements.

That's a great price for the DT fork. They are meant to be very good, not as adjustable as FOX or RS due not just being able to change the air shaft for travel. And perhaps not as well supported as the others for spares? Looks a good price though.

My Fox 34's from Wiggle just turned up and they are Boost. Bargain for £329. Will run them on my Scandal for now while deciding on a FS frame.
