Living up to my forum name, new wheels are 15mm and forks are 20mm. The old Revs are 140 reduced to 120, lovely RTC3 and plush but I want to use new wheels that will not go to 20mm.

Are 120mm SIDS RTC3 a flex too far? I do like a light fork and spend 99.9% on the ground, mincing along longer rides.

Depends on how much you weigh, as well as the type of riding you do, in my experience.

I have 120mm SIDs on my hardtail, which isn't used for anything especially gnarly - it's my "long rides in the mountains" bike more than anything. I've found them flexy though, and while I like the weight, I'd go for something stiffer next time, or stick to 100mm.

But, I'm the wrong side of 90kg so YMMV.

X-Fusion Traces are a great fork. Nice stiff chassis but far from heavy (mine weigh the same as my previous Rebas)
