I am probably going to sell the Reba and keep the White Brothers Magic and swap it between the two bikes.

Nice looking. Too racy for me, and once you go riser bars, you won't look back, but it does look good. Built for speed, that one.

I love that exchange. My proudest BF moment. It was a few pages ago for those interested, and I do like to think that his embarassment there made him change his forum name.

While having equal travel front and rear may seem logical, but remember with the suspension properly set up the rear is supposed to have more sag than the front. With the matched travel with out the sag, then put in sag, the bike is going to feel awkward when riding. Having at least 10mm extra travel in the back with the sag will make for a much more balanced ride.
Rear:
150x.30=45
150-45=105
Front
140x.25=35
140-35=105
With sag set up, it's equal, how you had it:
Rear:
150x.30=45
150-45=105
Front:
150X.25=37.5
150=37.5=112.5
Which makes for a very imbalanced ride.
That 10mm difference allows the bike to ride more balanced.
Rear:
150x.30=45
150-45=105
Front
140x.25=35
140-35=105
With sag set up, it's equal, how you had it:
Rear:
150x.30=45
150-45=105
Front:
150X.25=37.5
150=37.5=112.5
