Small Block 8s are on the way, Rockshox Reba, or Revelation. OR if Chris King comes out with their 20mm-15mm conversion kits then a 32 Float, but it does not look like that will happen anytime soon. (damn I hate that!)

Hope has the 15mm caps out already...and reba is risky but you can do it...I have to service my fork already because I pushed beyond the travel and the gate and left leg is leaking...but it should be a easy fix.

I'm 160 but I'm not a hack...setting the fork to 100mm using two 20mm spacers one that came from the fork and one from a SID Team... it was running at 50mm with a 100mm look for some reason so I pressured down the fork with my weight and my bro combined and pushed beyond 50mm and opening the full 100mm...Now it leaks and the leg cries a bit...A little tightening and servicing and re-oiling and I should be fine...I think there was too much oil to begin with and thats why it only gave me those 50mm, when I pushed beyond that, I'm guessing the oil needed a place to escape so it cries now lol.

lol nice, I think I should be fine on a Reba if I am careful, if not, revelation internals would fit, right?

The Reba and Rev are the same fork just shorter legs on the Reba I believe...you should look into them. I love the way Rockshox feel.

Float 15mm would be pretty fly. I was gonna get one, but the 15mm caps for Hope hubs wasn't out yet, so I got the Rev lol.

oh I know, King is pissing me the f*ck off, a long time ago they said they would be out in January, and they have kept pushing it back every time I ask, now it is like mid summer or something.

Just get the Hope...it's lighter and cheaper...Hope Pro 3 is non disc and I believe like all Hope hubs you can remove the cap and convert it.

I'll check, but I believe Michelin green latex are the lightest out there. H/O I'll get the weights.
