90mm travel XC fork?

[Colin]

Currently I have a Talas R on my singlespeed and run it at the minimum 90mm setting. I'd like to get a coil-sprung fork at the same travel setting. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time finding something. I see the newer Vanillas are only adjustable down to 100mm and the 85mm MX Comp is pretty non-adjustable.

Might just stick with the Talas or go 100mm....

Thanks.

You could go with a Reba, either 100mm or with a U-turn.

Reba at 85mm...or like MTBmike said, U-Turn.

Is it a head tube angle thing, or is the amount of travel? Every fork has a different axle-to-crown, so one fork's 90mm might be another 85.

I think Marzocchi has 10mm of unused space for example.

I also know you can play with the Marzocchi travel by using spacers, although it is usually in 20mm increments.

Reba's ride pretty high in comparison to others, don't they? The crown is longish weird...

You can actually notice 1cm of fork height and travel? The amount of air in your tires has more of an effect. Don't sweat 10mm of suspension travel. I'd say stick with what you have. If you aren't enjoying the best air fork on the market, and still want to check out a good coil fork, the Vanilla works uber well. I have a Talas R as well, and it works pretty dang well in the 90mm travel mode, and it's super light.
