Doesn't sound like it:
"120mm travel requires 15mm Maxle and tapered steerer only"

i have and they said they couldnt help as it would void warranty, did see that but in the description as well but was still interested if possible, i contacted TF tuned as well but they would need to open them up. Just very good price for what im looking for.

TF are right, some RS are 80-100mm and some are 100-120, until you take a 100mm apart you don't know which it is, if it's a 100-120 then increasing travel is fairly easy, you shorten the guide sleeve.

Thanks for the replies boys but of a 100 gamble to buy and see if they can be stretched out

Yup......

Well have them ordered now time to do some research in how to increase travel (if possible)

The Northern Monkey

As far as I know (and could be bothered to find out before I bought some 2012 Reba dual air forks) all 2013 solo airs need a different air spring assemblies fitting to reduce/increase the travel - not just the all travel spacer.

Not sure if it applies to all models, but is explained in the user manual (can be downloaded from the RS website).

thanks

edited above, should have been reduce/increase.

cheers thought that's what you meant not worth going to the expense I think
