How long is your steerer in inches ? Measure it .

 

[dbcoilex13]

[AZ]

Your current one .

Doubt it , to help you in your search 25.4 mm = 1 inch . Good hunting .

I need help to

, So I bought a 06 Reba SL from a guy who after putting 200 miles on it left the fork in his garage for I dunno like two in a half years. Every thing seems to be working fine on it. Should I put it on my bike and ride it untill it is time (miles wise) for servicing, or should I service the fork as soon as possible and wait to test it after I service it?
