DeRosa21 Posted January 12, 2020 Share What is my best option? Iam 1.88M AND 115KG. I have 2 MtBs, a hardtail and a full suspension. Seldom use the hardtail and will most likely sell it at some stage. The specialised camber comp has the original rockshox 30 gold with 120mm travel and the Scott comp a Rockshox Reba with 100mm travel and remote lockout. My question is it worth my while to exchange the 30 with the Reba on my Camber, before I let the Scott go? The Reba also has a significantly longer top tube than the 30, which might help, I have a angled stem on the camber at the moment to compensate for the height a bit.

floatfox Posted January 12, 2020 Share Fitting a 100mm fork on a camber would in my opinion not be a good idea at all. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatfox Posted January 12, 2020 Share Also wouldnt help having q longer steerer as you will drop 20mm in stack height by fitting the 100mm fork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeRosa21 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Thanks, think you are right, will ride the 30 till it pops and then see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V18 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Look for a rockshox Yari. All you want. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etienne_jordaan Posted January 13, 2020 Share Rock Shox Pike, Rock Shox Pike or otherwise Rock Shox Pike. ???? Don’t mean to fool around, but it is an amazing fork. For a bigger guy i would probably run it at 130 to 140mm travel on that Chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etienne_jordaan Posted January 13, 2020 Share You could also get a 120mm airshaft for the Reba and then put that in the Chamber. It will be your cheapest option to do a upgrade right now with the 2 forks that you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted January 13, 2020 Share A 29 Reba at 120 under a 115kg rider is going to be as floppy as a piece of cooked spaghetti. Ride the XC30 until you find a Pike, Revelation, Yari or Fox 34 to put on there instead. Headshot and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
