Has anyone changed from 100 - 120mm (ideally on a Flux).

if so whats the difference? or is a few hundred quid for 20mm stupid?

Look on the turner forum on mtbr - someone has just posted an in depth comparison. Sounds like 110mm is best.

I run 120mm reba (20mm) on my flux. Initially tried it at 100mm, but didn't like it. 120mm seems much more balanced.

Stanley runs 120mm rebas on his flux, and loves it. I'm planning to upgrade (lengthen) the rebas on Mrs NBT's new flux next time they get serviced.

I wonder sometimes how accurate these things are, the axle to crown measurement of a 120mm fork from manufacturer A might well be the same length as 100mm fork from manufacturer B

have you read the review yet - not a clear cut improvement at all - depends how you ride and how fast you want the steering.

Going to an Anthem would be a big downgrade...

i'm running 120mm on the front of my flux.

the advantage as far as i can see is that with 120mm forks, i'm getting a real-world 100-110mm travel (as forks rarely give you the full travel they state).

on steep climbs it doesn't wander too much which was my main concern.

my forks are rs revs dual-air shimmed down to 120mm travel with a 20mm maxle. the stem is a 90mm thomson and the bars ea70 low-rises.
