Thinking of changing frame and would like to run 120mm but have a 2011 set of revs only had 2 rides out was wandering if they can be stepped down to 120mm.
Grateful for any help/opinions.
Try asking PeterPoddy, he has a set of 2011 RLT forks on his C456 that he has opened up. He has done a fair bit of servicing of Rock shox forks in the past too.
I know they can be spaced down a bit but i don't know if they could be spaced down as much as 30mm
cheers will do
a mate asked loco this, he said it can be done but adds a bit of weight to the fork.
I have stepped mine down to 130mm but i'm not sure if dropping further will work.
The ad for the fork states 130/140/150
I wouldn't have thought it'd add much weight! as far as i am aware you are just adding plastic spacers. I guess it could be classed as a bit in comparison to air but in the overall scheme of things i would not think it would be much.
cheers will give loco a call.

If they are 20mm maxle I'll swap a 120mm Reba Team 🙂
I was cheating a little, my revs are 150/120 dual position and I was running them at the lower position. Do plan to lower the max travel to 130 though.
