This post is worrying me. Surely 10mm extra travel on a fork cant make that much difference? I thought Pikes axle/crown wasnt that long despite being 140mm. I thought other forks like 130mm old style Marzocchis were longer in axle/crown length anyway.
I certainly am not the smoothest rider and sometimes land a little heavy(I weigh 82kg) but no sign of damage on my bike yet. Maybe the frame had already suffered when you bought it? Anyway maybe i need to by a dialled Bikes Alpine? I dont want the Cove HJ snapping on me!

Good grief, remind me to never go near a Cove.

Handjobs are skinny frames for skinny riders.

I've read that the stiffness of Pikes transmits more torque to headtubes. Will leave it to those that know more to confirm or poo poo that
