Got some slant forks the description says they are 160mm-130mm but they looked massive so I measured them and they are just over 170mm of travel
could some one measure there set and let me know I am running 140mm travel on the rear so 170mm is overkill

Don't quote me on this, but I think the stanchions on forks are longer than the actual travel. The stanchion may measure 170mm, but you will bottom-out at 160.

They don't travel the full length of the sanction let the air out and depress all the way and they should come up 10mm short. The axle to crown should measure 545mm

If you're measuring the stanchion that's showing, then 170ish is correct - Slants show a bit more stanchion.

As Sprocker says - confused me when I bought mine.
