    I havn't measured it per se, but SteveC has a lyrik on his with an external cup, and mine is at least equal if not slacker.

    hypothetically. Even the santa cruz guys I talked to said they tend to end up a bit slacker. I checked with santa cruz and do have their blessings to run that fork (which is a solo-air dropped to 140mm, zerostack headset). It is slightly taller than most 140mm forks, but the zero-stack should make up for a little of that. I'll be honest, I don't really care what it is. it feels plenty of slack, and rides awesomely. still needs some tweaking, but it's still damn good...

    13.1" srsly? Sagged, that would probably rival my HT's BB height. :lol:

    Honestly, I thanked NIGHTHAWKRSX's post thanks cause I liked/love the DT Tricon wheels and the other bikes in the stable.

    That Superfly 100 Elite is hot, with its dropper post, Shimano XT, and great looks (and much lower BB)! Not to mention the hardcore headlight, hinting that its rider is pretty happy with it to want to ride it any time of the day/night! :D

    *runs after ticking off the Santa Cruz fans, by talking about the Trek*
