hi, been looking for a pair of Reba's for my rockrider 6.3, and been checking through the forum and have seen many posts on this particular subject some state that the 6.3 comes with 120mm forks, i brought mine last year new, and it came with 100mm forks, i'm a newbie to all this so does it mean that either 120mm or 100mm will be ok?
also on the rear shock where it meets the swing arm there is two possible fixings, would these be to adjust the shock from 120mm to 100mm as on the frame it states 100 to 120mm travel, i have probably confused this question too much, hopefully someone can give me an answer.
Cheers

    Either will be fine and yes, two travel options at the rear...

    SRAM instructions are usually crap for all of their products

    I had 120mm Rebas on my 6.3, felt 100X better than the stock 100mm forks. The slacker headangle from the longer fork also makes the bike handle so much better too :) Next best upgrade is a better shock, totally transformed the ride
