I have a 2007 Marin Rocksprings.
I took the forks off (140mm fox) to build my hardtail.
My attentions have turned back to my FS again.
Unfortunately i cant afford new forks, so i’m looking at second hand (most of my bits are!) .
Initially i was looking for something adjustable between 140 and 160, Talas, Revs, Lyrics. But these are looking a bit thin on the ground at a reasonable price/condition in the second hand market.
There are a few sets of nice 160mm forks I’ve seen in classifieds (fed up of the e-bay farce) but they’re not adjustable.
I have a “whyte” link fitted, so the geometry is already a little slacker, this can be changed back though.
Ultimately will it damage the ride that badly and or kill me if i get 160 instead of a 140?
Or will i get big bouncy bike to abuse?
