I believe in balanced travel (6" bike) and don't want a DC. So the 66 happens to be the only fork taller than a Z150/Breakout+/Fox36. Thankfully it's a fork I dreamed up before it was ever a reality so I'm a fan of it. Honestly if my bike wasn't so old-skool (steep geo) I'd be fine on a Z.1. But since I actually want a 66 though, everything seems to be working in my favor.Toshi said:i'm not arguing your other (good) points, but i can't really see why you wouldn't want 7" or 8" of travel if you're already paying the price in a-c length. it makes sense that you'd accept the extra height as a tradeoff for the other positive things you mention, but to actively search for a tall fork without as much travel as possible for its height is kind of strange imo.
