The F in the F100/200 means that it's a float series fork. To measure travel put a zip tie around one of the stanchions (or if there is a travel ring on it already you needn't bother) and let all the air out of the fork, then push the fork all the way down into it's travel and re inflate the fork without touching the zip tie/ travel indicator. Then just measure how far up the travel ring has gone. good luck!

Maybe u just simply measure the stanchion length, the longer stanchion shoul belongs to F120. I have F150, and the stanchion length is around 150mm too.

i let all the air out and they dropped pretty much all the way leaving about 7-10 mm if that. would this make them 130mm or 120? as its right inbetween. ive never seen these sold with 130s on.
