I've been having issues with Reba race loosing air (-ve), I have done an air service, which appeared to go well...... although I'm still loosing air! So maybe not so well. Going to strip it again and see if I can see what the issue is, but think I may have to replace whole Air Spring.

I have found a cheap Reba World Cup Dual Air Spring Assy, but want to know if this is compatible with the Race?

Reba World Cup Dual Air Spring Assy (85-100mm) 11.4013.082.000
Reba Dual Air Spring Assy 11.4311.450.000

Any ideas?

Cheers
Gareth

    Hi - Already replaced the valve core, think it is around the -ve O Rings as it popped the oil seal once, which would lead me to think the -ve air is leaking into the lower leg. Saying this I really can see where it can be leaking, the new O rings all look and feel snug and smooth.... :?

    .... now you mention it, I didn't, I had 2 guides from Rockshox and one didn't say to grease up (so I didn't :oops: ) did oil them well - I feel them coming apart again tomorrow night - thanks for pointing this out.

    Cheers
