I think on forks, the internet gurus run the mm of sag together with the % of compression - without talking about the fact that the fully extended lower fork tube is just that - it's just a reference point not the travel. The fork tubes do not fully compress to the end.
So, for instance, with my Ego+ RS with Marzocchi forks, the fully extended forks measure at about 150mm - but the spec'd travel for the forks is only 4.33" = 110mm
Most of the percent of travel measurements out there seem to be based on the fairly common 110mm of fork travel of many forks.
I'm at the opposite end of the scale though from Smithy - I need heavier fork springs to get to my desired 30mm of front sag.
