Morning all
In the market for some 100mm 29er forks to put on my singular swift.
I'm running a hope pro 2 hub on the front and I'm told I can covert this to use a bolt thru - is that right?
What do peeps recommend? Liking the look of the reba range but would like to spend under £300 if possible. Any other models I should consider?
Any links to good deals would be helpful

Yoss
I love my 20mm maxle rebas, but not sure you can still get them.

usually a few new or next to new Mav SC32 on ebay for less than £200, works a treat with a 29er conversion on a swift

i think you can get a convertion kit for a proII too
A mate of mine has some Suntour Raidon air forks on his 9'r, i know what ur thinking 🙂 but they are very very good, and light too.
i just need to see if i can get some tapered one's for my steed.
Just bought some 100mm Manitou Minutes 20mm Bolt thrus from CRC for £270. Perfect for Hope Pro IIs Stuck them on my Pegasus. Not sure whether they are still available. Worth tracking down though.
I got some Fox f29 RL secondhand from here in almost new condition for £250. They're as good as Fox usually are.......but QR.
i have some reba's like stoners.
i want some more, but they are no longer available.
think i am gonna try some of the bombers off crc. 15mm bolt thru.
whats 5mm between friends............ 8)
Rocketdog, they look good on there, they running ok? Did you change the oil weight (to 7.5??) + redo the shims to avoid the alleged spiking when you put the 29er spacer in?
You can get Maverick converters for Pro II hubs, there's been a few on ebay.
Suntour Epicon? They're going silly cheap at CRC

run fine, only thing i did was add the 29er spacers and top up the stock oil
Ooh, ooh, I've got a pair of 2011 Recon 29er forks in black, 9mm QR, used a bit, but pretty much perfect. I loaned them to a customer who was waiting for some Fox's to arrive, but the Fox's turned up a lot quicker than expected.
£250 if anyone wants them - mail me.
Got a pair of maverick sc32 ( and a hub) for sale if your interested? 8)
There's a Pro2 axle converter (24mm) on ebay atm, I've got one, straight swap. Maverick forks are very very good IMHO too.
And I'm not selling anything... 😉
Cheers RD.
Ygm lookmanohands!
Cheers all
It's a pity those Rebas aren't available any more stoner, they look perfect.
RD - what weight is your swift?
No idea, never weighed it
Fair enough!
Lookmannohands - your email addy ain't working, my addy is in my profile.

They are available - just not brought into the UK 👿

£450 for a pair of the 140mm ones.
quite cheap compared to 26'' forks like 36's and lyrics
will you be selling the forks out of your 29er?
I've got QR 100mm Reba RLT's on my Niner Air 9 and 15mm Fox F29 FIT's on my Rumblesfish 2, the front of the Rumblefish is way stronger than the Niner, yes the Rumblefish has tapered head but if I were in the same predicament I'd gor for axles and let the fork dictate the wheel choice and not vice versa
will you be selling the forks out of your 29er?
Yup, mail me if you are interested
I bought some 120 reba teams from clink and they are fantastic 😉
