He knows his Bombers. I think there are different internal spacers to go from 100 to 130, but he will tell you what the craic is.

Hi Rumble

The 1999 drop off bombers are indeed 130mm travel but all is well as they were convertible to 100mm [i have that catalog ]
Other helpful info-Stanchions seal size is 30mm,IS disc mount,progressively wound springs,CNC finishing,dual ssv damping.
And the '99 is only available in green.

And it says so on the fork leg :shock:

Cheers Dyna - that's good news as they're in decent nick and weren't all that cheap (were a bit of treat to myself).

Will I need to buy a kit to convert them back to 130mm or is it a case of removing an internal spacer?

Not sure myself :? you may find that its a matter of replacing one spacer with another. :?
See if anyone has a drop off manual
