Hi Sean,
There is conflicting information on the web, so I measured the fork myself.
It's definitely a 140mm.
I haven't ridden the High Tower so I'm unhelpful there. I do find with the
stock shock tune (185lbs riding a large) I like the performance of the
suspension in the long travel mode. I only use the DPS on the road and the
bike is happy charging about in the 130mm setting even for some standing
bursts.
With the Carbine I preferred the shorter mode except for straight line rough
descents so that's where I started on the Primer.
Stock rims are good quality (definitely upgrade hubs)… it's just any "real"
sized tire is pretty round in profile. A 26-28mm internal rim would be a
better choice for the 2.35 tires I like to run on a 130mm bike I think.
