i'm thinking about combing a reba race (115mm) with pike lowers. Has anyone done it? they have the same size stanctions and i would think the lower assembly is the same. Just wonder if the lowers are the same length and if it would work.

I'm just curious... don't know much about the Reba, but what would the advantage be? Just the 20mm thru on a Reba?
= Lightweight 20mm fork? how much difference is there over pike 454?
sounds like an interesting project nontheless... I'd like to see more.
my buddy just picked up a reba WC with the carbon crown, but one of the dropouts if broken off. He got it for pretty cheap, so we're going to order some mint argyle lowers and see what we can do to make a sweet fork

oh, hmmm....
I'm not one to be super carbophobic or bring the hate, but man, good luck with that one. Stiff 20mm thru- on an pure xc race carbon crown.
I think I saw something on MTBR. Argyle lowers, pike upper, reba internals. Maybe it was reba uppers, pike internals. It did have Uturn down to something like 70mm. It looked frign dope, but damn $$$$$$. My pike 426 is bad ass enough.
yeah, Duke u-turn assembly transplant = a dialed 63-108mm u-turn travel, sounds like a recipe for shred to me... also sounds a bit more realistic to me than reba/pike/argyle etc, combo's... not that it isn't a great idea, just not something that is easily obtainable.
There was a rider, possibly from the Chicago area (???), that rode a Sinister DNA, and had a rock shox franken fork... it was briefly mentioned in a thread on mtbr urban/dj/park forum. Had argyle lowers and pike uppers, that's all I remember, don't remember the models used.

I just recently put a duke extra firm spring in my pike and its pretty soft. I weigh 130 pounds and is fairly soft (w/ some compression). Just a heads up if you were looking to do that.

Also, doesn't the Duke U-turn have an elastomer bump stop on the end or something? May help with harsh bottom out, but still... not something you want to do frequently I guess.
