Question about Fork Spacers and Travel Increase :)

Just to get this straight, in order to INCREASE travel on Rebas (or any tbh) I would need to REMOVE an internal spacer, and if I want to DECREASE it I would need to ADD a spacer?
Help would be appreciated

Many thanks old chap
'Twas just bugging me as my forks should be due a service/oil change soon and I wanted to ask my LBS to (remove/add) a spacer, so I wanted to make sure I knew what I was talking about...
Again, thanks.0 -
It isn't that hard to do yourself, both the service, oil change and spacer removal. There are guides all over the net.0

be aware not all Reba can have their travel changed."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

so the mate has the same make and model of bike?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

How does one know whether Rebas can be adjusted? I bought some 2nd hand Reba race that were originally fitted to another bike (OEM). I was hoping I could increase travel to 120mm.Cool, retro and sometimes downright rude MTB and cycling themed T shirts. Just MTFU.

have a look inside.
there are some Rebas that have the internals from Recons out there. OE spec forks can be anything."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
