can anyone help ?when i set my rockshox rebba forks to the correct rider weight (for me) the forks seem unsteady and clunky but if i reduce the amount of air from the bottom of the fork it disappears .any advice would be gratefully received :? :? :?

    have you set the air to what it says or have you set the sag to what you want?

    is it dual air? read the set up info in the FAQs.

    I set mine up using a zip tie and measuring the sag,to 20%.The settings I use are about 10psi less than what RS reccomend.Are you using the same pressures for the - and +?
    I put 5psi more in the -.

    You don't say what model of Reba but assuming it's a Dual Air...

    Empty both chambers (positive and negative).

    Pressurise the positive chamber (top) and set sag to suit.

    Pressurise the negative chamber to set bump sensitivity - ideally about 5 - 10 psi more than the positive chamber.
