Got some Rev 426's they are currenly 140mm but my frame (Identiti Dr Jekyll) is only designed for 100-130

They need a good service which I'll do as I have all the tools, oils, ipa etc.

Planning on a full strip down and hopefully fit a 10mm spacer in the air spring.

How can I tell prior to strip down if its all travel internals or not? as I need to order the seals and spacer.

Should I use Rock Shox or Enduro seals in the lowers?

Planning to service my Reba (has leaky o-ring, passing oil from gate adjuster on moco damper when bike is upside down) and Lyrik forks too was thinking of changing to enduro seals

    RS seals are the best.

    All 426 should be all travel.

    Thanks super, I'll start ordering the kit hopefully it will be ok.

    Want to look inside the all travel Lyrik solo air and compare it to the Revelation All Travel Dual Air and Reba Dual air internals.

    I'm thinking a Lyrik Dual Air could be made by fitting the air valve from a Lyrik 2-Step at the bottom of the air spring if the system that equalises the pressure of the positive and negative air chambers when the fork is at rest can be blocked off.
