    Will baby robins burst into flames and fall from the sky into children’s faces?

    Or ……. Will every thing be okay?

    Looking at going from 440mm to 425mm on a Genesis Fortitude.

    Thoughts?

    I went the other way round (original to Cromoto), also on the Fortitude. It worked well, then I went back to the standard fork and I’ve found it to work much better when climbing. Not so much for descents… Keep an eye on the toe overlap, seems like wheel to downtube should be fine. Good luck with the conversion!

    Your bars will be 15 mm lower and angles increased

    Not ideal but you will be fine

    Thanks folks.

    Why …… Fork availability 🙁

    Singular Hummingbird/Gryphon forks are 445mm a/c – give Sam Alison a shout, he might still have some?
