How much front end travel do you have?
Just wondering how much travel you guys have on your forks? I properly measured mine the other week ago with a zip tie. I ended up with 80mm max.

130mm

Just put a fine old DD50 on my SuperV, from my broken F700 frame. Don't know if I get the whole 50mm or not, but it works for me! It's been rebuilt for my fat ass.

80mm on the Rockhopper with a Marathon SL, 0mm on the Major Jake via a Kona P2, and 0mm on the Peugeot with the stock fork (with a bent steer tube), soon to be upgraded to 0mm with an aftermarket fork. Plus a 100mm boat anchor (aka Axel Elite) hanging on the wall.

I have 120mm. It's let me do some awesome things that I never would have tried before, but the fork is long and it messes up my handling. I have a Marzocchi MX comp that replaced a late 90's Judy that had 50mm of travel or something. 80mm sounds like a happy medium.

Well my new (but old) RockShox Judy fork has 80mm adjustable to 80mm travel... (I think the damping adjustment needs a service).
