Hi, I'm about to have a set of 130mm travel forks avalible, there is a bit of stantion rub, but they will be priced to compensate. Still plush as they are coil roclshox recons with travel adjust.
Anyway Pm if they may work for you and we can talk numbers. I also have an Inbred frame in 18" i need ot shift so if you want more XC that could also be an option?
(both options avalible t0 anyone interested)

My issue with SRAM is the push push which seems much more awkward to use... the majority of that may well be down to the fact that I'm used to Shimano, but I think that it is also just more dfficult full stop. It is much more awkward sticking you thumb in a small gap than it is use a fnger which is just sitting there waiting to shift. I'm answering my own question here... my experience on SRAM is 2 miles. I liked the crisp shifting and strong springs but I really didn't like the experience of using the shifters. I suppose what I wanted was someone to say if you're used to shimano and didn't like SRAM on first use then just stick to Shimano.
My issue with the PA is that it was bought with 100mm forks already fitted. I quite liked the more XC feel that having 100mm forks gave me compared to being used to 140mm travel on my main MTB... but obviously if I want an XC bike I should buy an XC bike, and if I want to find out how nice a PA is to ride I should fit the right forks on it and then judge it.
