Nice socom.

But why the drop to 180mm up front?

The forks do everything i want them to do at 180mm and i'd like the front end as low as i can get it. I porbably wouldn't have gone to 180mm but i could only find a 7inch Ti spring so that persuaded me:p I also want to get a zero stack headset to then ill be able to run a flat crown which should get it a bit lower and shed a few grams at the same time.
