Rock Shox Reba Race Dual Air 2008 100mm (1)

[toyotalover4ever]

how much air do you pump in them?

Grtz

[hsvkidusa]

close tolerance with that tire huh..nice vid..love seeing these kinds of things

[frankster262]

i have coil shox, marzocchi bomber (older ones) and there really soft kind of like urs but maybe little harder... i bottom out on a foot drop... and its too old to get new coils... but u have nice forks that if there too soft just pump them up.. lol

[jojo1a]

hey there you should have them serviced a t a great shop too thell fix the stuff that they recall since rock shox is always fixing there stuff

[kamoRS]

Very very bad tune. I recommend less pressure in the negative, the type 125/120psi 115/105.

[jagababa]

oh yes, thats an example of how not to do it ^^ he's not even riding downhill or similar.

[AngusCrake]

bit harsh lol. i was just mucking around in my garden trying to tune them for the trail i made, i think you'll find it was a pretty much perfect set up for that terrain. Then i when i went out for a proper cycle i obviously put some more air in them.

[leeds101]

LOL. I was only joking. I've just bought a pair off ebay. Top forks!

[leeds101]

I bought mine off ebay a few weeks back. They're only 6 months old but I guess they've had quite a bit of use. Have u ever had yours serviced?

[AngusCrake]

no, i probably should, i've had them more than a year and half now. they still perform well.

[Surfmus]

I had, I made a vid about it. Check my channel. "Reba Rebuild"

[Kellyrt]

looks like you need more air!! hitting bottom too much.

[AngusCrake]

i know i put more air in and they are much better see my second video. i didnt bottom out once though.

[trailer701]

where did you buy this fork

[quakecos]

I have this one and in my opinion it is very good realy you can take it!!

[ra1nydayz]

these fat tires make me nervous... :)

[Nby21Blog]

so do you like the fork? because i am going to buy a new one, and reba would be the topping on the cake :D i saw the plushness of it, but how about maintenance? does it cost much? Thanks

[AngusCrake]

i like them a lot, i went from some cheap coil forks to them the difference was huge. they gave me so much more confidence on my bike, i now ride pretty much anything and havent come close to losing control because they keep my tire on the track. You don't really get much better than a Reba, dual air allows you to fine tune the fork until its exactly what you want. i have had over a year and i havent had to do anything to them, i got them for £250 which was a bargain, the rrp was £350.

[Montytian]

wasn't that too soft?

[AngusCrake]

it was great for in my garden where i took the video, but i had to put more air in positive for when i rode more aggressively, down hills etc

[danjthomas]

hey, thise look active, what +\- psi are you using there. cheers

[AngusCrake]

i would like you tell you but i filmed it ages ago and even then i didnt not the pressures. i just set the + so that when i sat on the bike the suspension was active, it sagged about 2cm. i am not sure about the negative, it was probably about equal with the +.

[paladinextreme]

what about 2.4 tires ?

[AngusCrake]

they might just fit without rubbing the bridge. it would be close.

[helmetless]

hi, congrats, very well done vid. Like a lot this Reba, but I think the bridge of the bottles is very close to the wheels,... is it a problem to you sometimes? I'll appreciate your experience. Rgrds.

[AngusCrake]

i have had them since xmas, when i fitted them the first time my tyre rubbed a bit because my tyre wasnt on straight. after a bit of tweaking i got it to run smoothly. they do occasionaly rub of the bridge a bit but i am not that bothered, if i took my time and got my tyre to sit right they probably wouldnt rub at all. i do have quite chunky tyres they are specilaized enduros 2.3, if i had my old resolutions on which are alot less chunky it would be nowhere near touching the bridge.

[team13teen]

What camera did you use?

[AngusCrake]

an olympus mju 1000 strapped on with a tripod

[jimbonorth1]

they seem to plunge a bit too much for me and with the sl version they put motion control damping in that you cant use..bstrds!

[Boost90GST]

I have a 2008 Reba Team in the mail, can't wait

[fuzzypoodle]

me too!! suposed to arive aug 3-10

[cullenbay6]

yeh, i have mx pro forks (also 100mm) i like the smooth too. doesnt look like theres much mud clearance with that.... is ther?

[AngusCrake]

yeah there isn't much because my tyres are quite chunky. Mud sometimes builds up quite a bit when its wet but i just wipe it off.

[WEBBZfromPANTERA]

They looked really smooth. A bit too smooth for me though. And I loved the rock garden :)

[AngusCrake]

thanks, i built the rock garden myself with some rocks that were lying around. i also have adjusted them to make them a bit stifer because i didnt want them to bottum out when i go down hills fast and do jumps etc. i like smooth ride though.
