Travel Change on a Rockshok Reba 140 29er

I had the need to reduce the standard 140mm travel Reba to 130mm for a recent 29er build.  Here are some pics in the process order and a couple of helpful links.

First, a You Tube video from SRAM that shows the removal of the lower legs:  You Tube here

Then, a pic grabbed from the Reba manual:  Linky here.

So, here we go.

remove positive air chamber capremove negative air chamber capbleed negative air chamber first

bleed positive air chamber nextremove the rebound adjuster knob by pulling out on it firmlyan allen wrench loosens the bolt underneath a few turnsa 10mm socket loosens the air chamber side a few turnswith both fixing bolts loosened but still threaded into the internals, tap them loose with a soft hammer. I used a block of wood and a small hammer. You will likely feel them pop loose.remove the bolts on each side. The lowers will slide off now. If not, then reinsert the bolts and tap them again until they unseat the linternals from the lowers. Expect some oil to drain out of the legs.Remove the top air cap (note: this is kinda' optional, but easy to do). It makes it easier to remove and replace the air chamber parts, but you can just depress the schreader valve at that moment to release pressure. Up to you. I did it both ways.Push the air chamber shaft inside the leg a bit and find a socket that fits over it and inside the fork leg diameter.Press down with the socket against the black plastic air base plate piece until you can grab the internal snap ring with snap ring pliers.Remove the snap ring paying attention to how it sat in there.The air chamber shaft will pull out now. The circled area shows where the reducer piece will go. Here is a pic showing the difference between a 10mm reducer and a 20mm reducer. Hah...10mm...who would have guessed it?Unstack the parts by sliding them off the shaft and re-stack them with the reducer in place.Reassemble in the reverse order. Note that the snap ring must align with the shaped section in the air base plate or it will not sit in the machined groove in the fork leg correctly. Make sure the snap ring is seated properly and *snaps* into place.
