Rock Shox Reba Dual Air 100mm 2008 (2)

this is another video that i made today on my bike in my back garden, the next video will be up a hill somewhere.

My forks are set up alot better than the last time i filmed them, they is more air in the postive chamber, but i left the same in the negative making it a bit stiffer and less small bump movement. This video also allows you to see how close my tyres are two the bridge which is only a few millemetres off.

Where did you put the camera and how?I also want to record my Rock Shox Tora how it's working!Thank's!

[AngusCrake]

i did it with a normal digital camera, a gorrillapod and some duct tape. a gorrilla pod is like a tripod but it has bendy legs, so i just wrapped them around my frame, put on plenty of duct tape and hoped for the best. i was pretty lucky it didnt come off, if it had it would have been an expensive video!

Dude that tire is about a milimeter away from the arch wtf?

[AngusCrake]

yeah the tire clearance was pretty slim, it fitted just. i recently got new wheels (shimano xts), and the clearance is a bit better.

I am suprised at the clearance with those tyres! That can't be right can it? I am planning to upgrade the Rockshox Pilot C's on my trek 4900 to revelations but I think I might have to change my headset, because i am having some major headset wobble problems, and i think the bearings have probably gone aswell, because the handlebars dont turn as smoothly as they should! Any Ideas?? How do you fit the forks?

[AngusCrake]

i don't know much about headsets because i have never fitted one, i have had my for over 2 years now and i havent had any problems and i have probably done almost 2000 miles. i fitted my forks pretty easily i just took the old ones off and put the new ones on. The tyre clearance may be quite close but they do not rub the bridge so it hasn't caused any problems. if you are going to change your headset i would reccommend getting a local bike shop to do it for you.

finally a video where all the travel is used.

that is what ppl are looking for, to see the entire travel at work.

good luck, ill be having the 2012 model soon too.

@hagenar

not so much. if the rims wider itll spread the tyre out further makin the tyre not so tall ;)

[hagenar]

@AngusCrake Um. If you used the same tires, the bridge clearance was identical, regardless of the type of wheel used.

[toadwaker]

@phoeneous Luckily it doesn't really matter as the tire should not be moving anywhere near the arch, if it does then something is wrong and that small clearance is the least of your worries.

I'm hoping to get these forks

[RSRecon]

Thank You Very Much ! :)

That looks like it's set to really soft

You should make it harder if your using it off road
