Hi all,

After any experience you may have in rigid fork axel to crown lengths.
Building a 71 degree head tube voodoo Wanga that's designed around 100mm travel suspension fork.

Looking online something like a SID 100 comes with a 453mm axel to crown (not measured in the real world by me though), so thinking 440mm would be fine but a little worried I actually need something more like 420mm, as I'm guessing at what will ride best.

I wouldn't go any shorter. I've got a Dekerf which came with 432mm a2c Z2 Flys. I took some off that for sag and went for 425mm cromotos. It's beautifully quick steering, but I wouldn't want it any twitchier!
