Hi,

I'm thinking of upgrading from a Tora 318SL fork - that's a 100mm, solo air job (not travel adjust). I'm actually quite happy with how they work, apart from a minor thump when pulling on the bars while climbing (this appears to be a built in featuren not a fault according to the website), it's not a big deal at all.

The main reason I'd like to change to the Rebas is weight related (1.6 Kg versus just over 2 kg on the Toras). I also hope that the Rebas will be even better in terms of performance - they certainly get very good reviews. Would I notice much difference with the +ve and -ve air chambers over my solo set-up (apart from more fiddling around with a shock pump that is)

Also, there doesn't seem to be much between the basic SLs and more pricey Race / Team models - is that the case? I'm not bothered with a remote lockout.

My bike isn't that light, by the way - an FSR XC Comp (2006); there's probably a limit as to how much you can lighten these things, no matter how much you spend.

Anyway, let us know if you think it's worth doing...

Thanks
