Why not drop the rev down to 130mm? I know you said you're after 120mm, but it's surely worth a go. Won't cost a cent.

Waldog! Are you suggesting I'm a compete idiot who's so stupid I hadn't already thought of something so simple?

That's no mean feat either

Looking good. Let me know if you need a few 10mm all travel spacers for the Rev. I've got more than a few lying around that I can post your way.

Brakes

I have some avid codes you can put on that.

Gday georg. Cheers mate. Might just do that. I'll let you know.

How about just give me MY brakes/adapters, and we will call it square :rant:

If I had said brakes, might swap for a reverb bleed kit! Arsehat. What are adapters?

You sir, have offended me out:

Now, now we all know that isn't true.

I also have some travel spacers somewhere too.

If you're stuck, let me know.

Cheers cobs. Going to have a crack at some home made jobbies today to see how they sit on the bike.

Nice.

Heaps of people have had success with making their own.

It's all coming together, I like it.

Cheers mate. It will have a pretty good build spec...all stuff I no longer use, don't need.....but can't bear to part with :behindsofa:

Looks like a dual suspension balance bike in that picture. Should help the lad develop some mad skilz.

I'm hoping that no pedals will slow him down a little. Already getting faster than me :behindsofa:
I think I'm fighting a losing battle out:

Anyone got Reba's laying round?

[moorey]

Frame chopped (yet to be painted), and forks lowered to 130mm (extra neg air sits them at about 120mm)

Building life long memories for the young lad to. Great stuff.

Cheers mate. Finished it tonight, first ride tomorrow. Interesting to see how much travel he gets, to get enough rebound, I had to put a bit more air in the rear shock than I wooda preferred, but it will definitely be nicer to ride than the hardtail...and a couple of kg lighter.
