I personally love riding a 6" single crown, a 2003.5 Z150. At the time it was my only option for a 1.125" headtube. In 2004 it's not much better with only the addition of the Z150SL but it appears that RS is coming out with a 5.8" SC for 2005 and I believe with a standard diameter steerer?
I can see the Breakout Plus needing the 1.5" but any possibility of either the standard Breakout in a 1.125" or the Firefly/Flick with increased travel over this year?
Z150 is a great fork and is the perfect geometry for my RFX but the fact that it's a true 7 lbs. and the ETA does nothing does not make it the best for long technical climbs and XC. The Breakout with SPV and almost 2 lbs. lighter sounds like a much better option for me but the steerer won't fit.
