RockShox Revelation RLT Dual Air 150mm Suspension Fork HELP

speedy21

hi im trying to work out how to wind these down from 150mm to 130 or lower , ive read all the info i had with them and ive searched the internet and i cant find anything with any pictures just explaining the basics, all i can find is technical stuff, i think ive worked out how the floodgate and lockout work but i aint got a clue how to wind them down ,

and also the rebound adjustment, is this to set how quickly the fork returns to ful extension after hitting a bump or am i way of the mark,
any help would be great , ive seen people refering people to the sram website but i couldnt find anything,maybe i was on the wrong site??
thanks in advance for any wise words, :shock:

Yup, rebound controls how fast the fork uncompresses. Too slow and it'll pack down- can't get back to normal before the next hit. Too fast and it'll ping you about. It's just about controlling the fork really.

Not all revelations have external height adjustment... Only U-turn or Dual Position ones do, if it's got one of these systems there'll be a lever or dial on top of the left hand fork leg. If it doesn't, then it's an All Travel fork which means to change the length you need to open the fork up and use spacers

ahh no way, im gutted now, never mind live n learn, at least the rest of it seems to make sense , thanks for clearing it up north, there is something on top of the left fork but i think its just a cap to the possitive air valve, thanks for the help , even if u did ruin my night

Have you fitted them or cut the steerer? If not, you can return them... But tbh most people don't use height adjust all that much. I've got bikes that are well suited to it but most bikes are made with one length in mind

take some pics and lets see. Sounds like you have the dual air version.

bought a complete bike so cant return but if its not that important like you say then thats fine, i aint been to any trails or anything yet so its not a case of i need to wind them down i just assumed it was more important than it is by the sounds of it, ye it is a dual air nick , does that confirm theres no wind down yeh?

nicklouse

well there are two versions of the RLT, Dual Air and the Dual Position Air.
