I ran a Reba Race on my Monocog SS for a year. Had it set at 100mm and was more than happy with it. Actually it was the first Rock Shox I purchased since SRAM obtained them. Felt great. Really dug the remote Poploc. Used it more than I thought I would.
Bought a '08 GF Paragon last fall with a F29 RL. I must say I was not too impressed with it outta the box. The travel felt too stiff or I blew right through it. After about 8 rides on it, I changed the travel to 100mm. At this point the fork came alive. All of a sudden I wasn't going through the travel to quick, but it was plush as well. Also, at 100mm the fork felt way more stiff than the Reba did at 100mm. I wonder how much nicer the F29 RLC would be over my RL. It would be nice to have a remote lockout again. I am really happy with the Fox. However, I have no reserves of running a Reba in the future either. What it comes down to is budget. The Fox is way more $$$ than the Reba. |
