Hairy Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Had a 130mm revelation and swapped it for a 140mm Pike, Would never go back to less travel or a lesser fork! ...hang on, is that your on one....ride report please
Hairy Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Ride what you like. Doubt it's going to feel like riding a cheap DS. Maybe just not as soft as a 120mm.no reason why a 120mm fork week be "softer" than a 100mm travel fork. The travel is there for larger impacts and you still want a supportive fork. In the case of this frame I would re iterate what the others have said. 120mm travel and up. I don't own a pyga but have tested one and would certainly not run anything less than a 120mm travel fork on it.
J∆kk∆ls Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Ok now I'm curious. Can I adapt my 26" 100mm SID dual air fork to a 120mm? I know I should look it up. But I feel like some of you really enjoy answering tech based questions.
Doezel Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 ...hang on, is that your on one....ride report pleaseNope, it's from a friend of mine. He seems to enjoy it On another note: I just butchered my Pyga and move the parts to some other beast:

splat Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks for the advice guys. Got a good deal on a Fox Factory fork, 100mm travel, Kashima coating. Should be OK until I have enough cash to get a Pike / X Fusion / MRP or similar.Isn't an adjustment or a conversion that can be done to make it 120 travel?

As a general rule you can shorten forks, but not lengthen them, but there are a few exceptions. The only way to find out is to take it apart.

The all-travel Reba is one of them. There's a 120mm SID as well, but they're not all like that unfortunately...

While we are on this topic, :-) The Reba manual states that the dual air forks with QR lowers should only go to 100mm and with TA to 120mm, is there a real risk running a 120mm fork on QR? or are they just trying to be ultra safe?

Bobbo_SA Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Your bull**** meter should be going moggy when reading that. Only answer i needed, :-), guess I'm dropping another spacer this weekend.
Bobbo_SA Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Your bull**** meter should be going moggy when reading that.The newer manuals don't refer to the limitation, in one of the older manuals it still states: "7. Reba 29” with 9mm quick release (not Maxle Lite): maximum travel setting = 100mm. Standard Reba 29” with Maxle Lite: maximum travel setting = 120mm"
dirk.leroux Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I'm in the same boat have a 120 mm but looking for a 140mm for my 29er.I got a 140 pike on my pyga and it is awesome. would recommend going bigger rather than smaller, unless you are going to be doing XC only
