120mm travel fork on a 90mm carbon 29er frame

Good to hear you've got the 120mm in, I found it quite easy dropping mine to 90mm, did you install yourself?.... The 062 sits quite well and looks very trail with it bumped up, hope you get to ride it soon  I was very tempted to get the RF Next SL 425g with a 28T, but I'm happy with the X01 at a good price.

When I was geeking out on cranksets and comparing price vs weight, I found that I could get a carbon SRAM crankset for the same price as a RF Turbine but the weight was 100g lighter. The RF Next is another 100g lighter than the SRAM but also $200+ more.  Now I have too many bikes with GXP cranksets to change now.

 I have done the air shaft swap a couple of times on some Pikes,  and yes it's relatively straightforward.  My local bike shop has given me some amazing prices lately so this time I just let them do it.

So I have 60 or 70 miles on the 062 setup as a SS with a 120 RS SID. So far I'm loving it. Handling has been great and the bike feels playful and fun. Not trail bike playful but more of a XC type of fun. I'm definitely glad I bumped it up to 120mm in the front.
