Can anyone identify my forks???
Discussion
Morning all,
I have decided to service my old Reba SL forks, but I'm struggling to figure out what bits I need, as my particular fork doesn't seem to exist according to the Rockshox technical manual!!!
It dates from approximately 2007, I think, but the bike shop I bought it from no longer have the records from back then, and haven't been much help.
It's a Reba SL, which is easy enough, but it's also got U-Turn Air 85-115mm variable travel, and that's the odd bit, as all my googling only shows up SLs with fixed travel where you need to add or remove internal spacers to change it. The technical manuals (at least for 2007 & 2008) on the SRAM website show only the Race and Team as having a U-Turn Air option, not the SL.
Needless to say, I don't want to take the thing apart until I know I've got the right bits to put back in if at all possible!
A few photos below to hopefully help with identification. Ideally, if anyone can confirm the model year and which spare parts kit I'll need, I'd be very grateful!
I've tried emailing SRAM, but no answer, and their automated acknowledgment says they only deal with resellers.

did it come with the bike?
It's probably a mix 'n match OEM special.
What bits do you want to replace?
It may be less grief to simply ship it off to TF tuned or similar and let them deal with it
No, it didn't come with the bike, it was an after-market upgrade. I just wanted to replace the seals, change the oil and the like. Paying someone else £90 or more to do it seems a bit excessive!It's probably a mix 'n match OEM special.

It looks like the have Reba U-Turn service kits so a quick call should confirm they are suitable for your kork.

Blimey! If the kit alone is £30 including shipping, and that's without buying the oil, maybe £90 for the service isn't too outrageous?It looks like the have Reba U-Turn service kits so a quick call should confirm they are suitable for your kork.

in that case I don't think it matters exactly what you have going on inside the damping and lockout system itself as replacing oil and seals is non intrusiveCheck evilhomersimpson on ebay, he does the o-ring and seal kit for under £9. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181671987952
I got the exact same from him late last year, scrounged some oil from a friend and did the service myself. First time I'd ever serviced sus-forks since my Mk1 RC35s and it was quite enjoyable.
