Rockshox Reba RL

April 1, 2016

This is supposed to be the last upgrade the Pitch Comp will receive that will bring down the weight of the bike by another kilo or so.

The original front fork has a travel of 80mm (being XS in size) to I decided to go with a Rockshox Reba RL with 100mm travel. This will also make it compatible with a planned full suspension project anchored on the Giant Anthem frame.

I placed the Reba RL on the weighing scale just to confirm the manufacturer's claimed weight and it's close.

I kept Mang Boy busy working on the upgrade while I ran out to Sabak to get a spacer as we're keeping a significant allowance on the steerer, again in preparation for transfer to the Anthem frame.
