Fair enough!
I really thought I’d feel like I was missing out dropping to 150 on the front from 160, but the reality of moving to a GRIP2 damper (and now have added a DSD Runt too) has just highlighted to me how much more important quality is than quantity…
I’ve done Morzine on a 120mm trail bike, I’ve done Morzine on 200mm DH bikes, I’ve done Morzine on various grades inbetween… I’m not sure which I had more fun on! To be honest, depends a lot on what you’re going to ride there (if you’re going to session the DH tracks and the bike parks, longer travel makes sense), but there’s so much good stuff off the beaten trail that I can remember (it’s 12 years since I’ve been mind!) that doesn’t warranty longer travel too.
My view is now “buy the bike that suits 90% of your riding”, which my Offering is. If I go abroad on it, I’ll chuck Super Gravity/DH rubber on and hope for the best, but that would also be the same if I had 10-20mm more travel anyway!
