Run mine with 120mm and occasionally get rock strikes with 175mm cranks.

You'd definitely need to be looking at 170mm or less cranks if running 100mm forks.

The frame is more trail than xc, handling is great at 120mm!

I ran it at 100mm with a flush lower headset, I now run 120mm with the same headset, TBH I would rather run it with the Hope lower headset now I'm used to it, it took a while but it really makes sense once you get off off the saddle & work the fork.

120mm here (Perfect IMHO), odd rock strike with 175mm cranks so would expect quite a few with a 100mm fork even with 170mm cranks.

You say you ran it at 100mm, but no comment on what it was like?

I would of thought my comment about returning it to 120mm would tell you all you need to know ๐Ÿ˜†
