Anyone have a 120mm fork on an XC204?

My Marzocchi on my Xc204 has sprung an oil leak on one leg of the fork; not the seal, but at the seam in the middle of the leg. Since the trails I ride are more AM than XC, I'm looking to up my fork from a 100mm to a 120. I know the rear will still be 100, but I believe that should be OK. Anyone running a 120, or know why I shouldn't?

I ran a 120 on my old XC004. You'll be fine.

I'm running a Tora 318 Soloair @130 on a 2009 XC204. It rides great, I always thought the head angle was too steep with a 100MM. BTW, the rear is 4.2", I believe 106mm, at least on mine.

Probably too late, but my 2011 XC-204 came with a 120mm fork, I swapped it out for another 120mm fork, rear runs 120mm travel (4.7"). Should be sweet anyway.

While we are updating and old thread....I went with a 130mm Manitou Minute. At first the geometry change mad things feel a bit odd, but once I got everything dialed in, I love it! It definitely gives me more confidence on some of the larger obstacles that were bothering me with the 100mm fork.

Good stuff. Glad to here it's working for you.
