Reba SL 100 - remove internal spacer for 85mm trav

Posts: 47
Hi,
I'm on the verge of taking up the Merlin œ225 2007 REBA SL 100 offer.
I gather I can change the travel to 85mm by adding an "All Travel Spacer".
Questions:
1. Is it pretty easy to do?
2. Any special tool required?
3. Is the spacer included?
thanks,
Peter

does it alter the height of the fork at all?!
cos i was looking at them too, but I only have an 80mm travel fork at the moment so don't want to put too long a fork on?!

Yes, it alters the static fork length by the amount of extra travel.

yes Nick I'm lazy..
I have purchased them from Merlin, taking advantage of the free postage. I'll let you know how I get on. Mean while if anyone wants any Marathon SLs....0 -
I`m interested as to whether my 85mm Rebas SLs can go from 85-100mm by <b>removing</b> an internal spacer?
Having said that 85mm travel seems to suit the character of my bike,but it would be nice to know,should I swap frames.
