Reba solo air 2013 service

philcubed

Hi, I'm going to have a go at servicing my 26" Reba solo air forks as I'm getting oil on one of the shafts, so guess the seals are dying. What kit do I need? And where is the best to buy from? Do I need the rockshox 5w and 15w oil or will any do? I've seen a full service kit on Amazon, but it then says it doesn't include main fork seals or wipers, which suggests it isn't a full kit... thanks for any help!

The Rookie

It’s nothing unusual for forks for the internal parts to be in one kits and the wiper seals and foam rings to be in another as the wiper seal and ring kit is common across a wide range of forks, in fact the ones for yours fit SID, Reba and Revelation going back to 2008ish (and Recon XC which was a rebadged Revelation anyway).

Don't fear a fork strip down. They are surprisingly simple. Just keep everything scrupulously clean and don't apply too much force. I bought some fork oil from Halfords motor bike section. It's 10W and cheap. Worked fine in the X Fusion shocks I serviced last year, they are like brand new!

I have FOFU, so prefer to send mine away. TF Tuned did mine recently and I found them to be very good.

One day I will man up and have a go.
