Reducing rock shox revelations travel

I have tried the search button to no avail.
I have a set of rs revelation 426 dual air however recently i have changed frames and 130mm travel seems to mess up the handling a bit. I have heard that you can reduce the travel on the forks down to 115mm.
Just wondered is it an easy job, how's it done. Does anyone have any info as i have searched the net and not found out much.
Cheers

If they are All travel you can put the spacers that came with the fork back in to reduce the travel.
As per the info available in the service info downloadable from Srams webby."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I think my forks are f&$&£d after looking on the sram webby (cheers to the people who replyed) I went about sorting the travel out. As described on the site i let all of the air out of the bottom of the fork leg only for all the oil from the fork to pour out of the valve!!?
This can't be right! Surely?
Now i have a buggered fork with no oil in and a new frame that i can't ride!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're letting the air out of the valve on the bottom you should turn the bike upside down to stop the oil coming out0

DOH!
Time to send the forks to tftuned me thinks :oops: [/b]0 -
That is lube oil, not damping oil - just refill as per instructions. Very easy to do, and you need to oil some bit anyay when changing travel.0

just turn the adjuster."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
