100mm forks

Think my Rebas will be put up for sale when the new frame arrives, I'm not sure a 205mm steerer will be long enough.
But, what do I replace them with?
While the Rebas were great, and I'm considering another set, is there anything else to consider.
The only thing I'm missing with the Rebas is the dual air. I much preferred to be abke to set up both the pos and neg to my liking.
Seems that the sid is similar, is there anything from Fox, Manitou or Marzocchi with better tuneability/customisation?

For the money, nothign has the adjustability of RS. Older ones that is, I prefer the older Reba dual air too, with adjustable floodgate.0

Yeah thats my thinking too... was looking at the fox with CTD but even the basic model is £700+!
Hard to find an older version with 220mm + steerer!0 -
I'm impressed with Manitous offerings - the ABS+ damper is excellent, the Minute MRD has replaced my Reba RLT.0

They are light weight - my 130mm version weighs 3.3lbs!!! Don't seem any worse than rebas though - I imagine you'd need the Marvel or R7. Sometimes come up cheap on ebay.0

If you like good adjust ability why would you want CTD?Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
Is the solo air chassis different to the dual air chassis? could just replace the solo air with a dual air assembly?0

Am not too sure - I have seen people on MTBR do it. But not sure if the upper tubes are now thinner on the newer forks.0

Could work, but then I need new forks I think so I don't really want to do both (just yet anyway).
What is the DNA setup like in the SID's?
I'm comparing to Black Box Dual Air Revalations here... the frame deserves a very good set of forks and I'm putting the baseline at this level.0 -
RCT3 gets a high speed compression port, and the dual flow rebound - so similar to the BB, but Ihave not tried this fork.
However I will say that the ABS+ on my Manitou is ahead of the BB damper. After a ride today it is simply the best fork I have ever used.0 -
Thats quite a claim! Crc have one going cheap, but the description is all over the place!
Emailed them to find out exactly what the fork is..0
