I'm saving up to build a VT, and had been planning to go with either a Manitou Minute One or Three, but just yesterday I heard about the Manitou Nixon--up to almost 6 inches travel, remotely adjustable from the handlebar, SPV, air sprung, only 4.1 lbs! It barely weighs more than the Minute One!
The question is whether it is too much travel? Will 145 mm alter the geometry too much? Of course, since it is adjustable, I can set it lower, but then why bother other than the fact it has remote adjustablity.
Another question: those of you with adjustable travel, do you actually use it? Would I find myself just leaving it in one position and never changing it? Then I might as well go with the Minute Two and save half a pound.
Thanks!
