Anyone tried this?
Mismatched front and rear travel I know but maybe you run some TALAS forks at 120mm sometimes perhaps?
Just wondering if it's a really bad idea!

I wouldn't if I were you. I had 140mm U-turn Pikes on mine, and if I wound them down (110mm minimum) for a climb, then it felt very wierd at thew top. 130 is about as short as you can go for general riding, at a pinch. They are rated for 140-160mm forks I believe. I'd have thought 150mm Revs would be the perfect fork, myself. ๐Ÿ™‚

Not really sure why you want to. A 140 or 150mm fork doesn't weigh much more than a 120mm these days.

Is the front end to slack or high?
