Is anyone running a 170mm Fork on Santa Cruz Bronson V3?
Currently got a 160mm 36 on the front and was considering trying a 170mm air cart in it.
Was thinking of slightly more travel, slightly slacker and lifting the BB slightly might be useful in the alps.
Anyone tried it? I’d rather not waste £40-50 and ruin the handling of my bike to find out.

10mms won't ruin the handling. It's not even 10mm when you take into account sag. The extra BB height will be much less than that - probably only 4mm once sagged.
I did 170 to 180 on my Mega and couldn't tell the difference in terms of handling.

I’ve had 170 on the front of mine from new. Works great.

Are you amazing enough that you'd notice 10mm?
