Hopefully mine will be with me tomorrow, and I've gone for the Rockshox SID RLT Ti.

Seatpost is 30.9 I think.

Edit: that's the 120mm version btw.

Seatpost is 30.9.
As for fork I'd go for 120mm. But 100mm would be fine.

Reba 120mm, Fox F120 for example & with a thru axle if your wheels will take it.
120mm Maxle Reba's on the Classifieds now!

Saw your post re frame - have you bought a DW Flux then?

no, but I'm considering it (convincing the misses is another question altogether)! ๐Ÿ˜†

I am using reba 120mm maxle light but before the some rev set to 130mm i had the utrn pair so i reduced it to 120mm and once i found the 120 mm setting to be better on climbs and enough travel i bought the reba and the maxle light set up actually weighed less than the rev which were dual air

Running some u-turn pikes on my 4 bar flux. Generally set at 120mm. Seems spot on. Got some Reba 120 maxle to try courtesy of groundskeeperwilly. Reckon they should be perfect.

I've ran a Flux with both 100mm & 120mm forks

100mm steers nice and quick on singletrack between trees but 120mm feels more confident on downs.

I reckon 100mm for racing and 120mm for general xc/trail riding.

cheers guys!

sounds like my 100mm Sid race forks would be OK then, with a 120mm upgrade later down the line

There are some cracking deals on Rockshox on the on-one site at the moment. I was going to run my old rebas for a while and wait for an upgrade, but 499 fro 120mm SIDs was too much temptation for me. Yay for credit cards!

don't think 130mm has ever been recommended, and 120mm wasn't until some people started building up 120mm and showing it on the mtbr forum.
