    I’ve got a mate’s bike in for a service and the forks are in bits. They are Reba SLs, with 100mm travel, but have a 20mm spacer inside so will go out to 120mm.
    Anybody used 120mm on a Rockhopper?
    Good?
    Bad?
    Indifferent?

    Cheers! 😀

    I’ve put 120mm Rebas on my 2006 Rockhopper which I think is the same geometry. Took about 10 minutes to get used to the slight change in handling, and I think the extra travel is an improvement (although it could well be the bike equivalent of the placebo effect).

    Good timing with the question PP. I’ve just bought a RH frame to build up and was wondering the same thing..

    Forgot to add that the extra travel will definitely wrench the head tube from your frame, killing you instantly.

    Not ME it won’t. Not my bike, see….?
    😉

    I used to have a 2004 Stumpy FSR and they were renown for liking a bit more travel up front. I went from 100mm to 115mm Rebas and it was perfect.
