experience of 120 v 140?

On my 456Ti I ran 120 Reba maxles, bofore moving to 140 Thors. I think 140 is a better length.

Also ran 150 36's, but didn't feel right - unlike my steel 456 where it felt right...

I didn't like mine with 36's either!

I tried 36s and it made the bike feel nose-heavy.

Also tried 120mm Reba Maxles and it was fine but tyre clearance was limited.

Settled on 140mm Vanilla 32 QR15.

Slight hijack then but has anyone run with 4"/100mm forks?
Might stick some old Menjas on mine as an experiment...

I've ran 145mm Nixons, 140mm Pikes and 120mm Rebas (T/A).

120mm is best if you ask me.
