Can you make my 140mm Revelation a 150mm??

This will be good.

 

 

which Revelation model and for what wheel size?

"not heavy on the tech" is a good thing. Most of the features on others forks you only set once and then you leave it there. People who fiddle too much end up on forums bitching about forks that don't work

just saying...

 

I don't fiddle.  There's a saying that goes: "fiddle, fiddle, f@cked!"

Any fork can be adapted to give 10mm or take away 10mm of travel from the origianal travel,and the shock is made to do this,you just take out/put in another internal spacer

My Epicon works slightly differently. You take out a pin and adjust the stop. Its in 20mm (80-140mm) increments. I think I read that someone took a chance and drilled out another hole and made his 160mm.

That's actually pretty cool way of adjusting the travel. 

 

Edit: Who are the agents for Suntour in SA? The 2015 Epixon TR 130mm looks like a good value proposition fork.

OK, maybe someone can help, I have a Reba RL 29er Dual Air shock that cracked at the bridge. It can not be warrantied or be claimed from insurance.

 

Does anybody know of someone with a reba or sid 29er fork, that the stanctions are damaged of, or maybe know where I can buy a set of lowers from? My LBS is unfortunately not able to help at this moment.

26" 140mm 2008/2009 Dual Air 426 Moco

From what I understand is the travel can only be reduced not increased in this particular fork, didn't see any spacers that I could remove on the air side when I gave it a major service.

It is weird though, without any air in the neg it measures almost at 150mm exposed stanchion crown to seal lip but there was no Rev 150mm released in the year it was made, had a good search on the RS docs site.

Put a wanted ad in the classifieds and ask Droo and Dave Marshall(search thehub under username)if they have that spare or if they can keep an eye peeled one. There will definitely be one lurking somewhere, stanchions normally always give out before lowers, suppose you just have to be careful that the bushings are still good in the lowers you manage to find. Dave very kindly helped me with a cart body for my fork.
