Ok, geometry questions 🙂 Yay!
I have bought a Full Suss Giant Ac1 frame off a friend, in a hope to build up a project, learning about the way bikes work etc in the process.
Now i have done some research on this bike, and as standard i believe it was sold with a 130mm travel front fork.
Now, although i am building up this frame as my first project, i’m trying to spend a fair amount on components, so after it’s built, i can push everything over onto a new built lightish freeride frame in the future. I understand the geometry of the bikes plays a big part in everything, so this is my question.
How do i know what the maximum length fork my frame can take? What disadvantages everything will have, what pros it will have, does the angle being changed mean it can be countered with the stem you buy?
I believe the Head Tube Angle – 69 Degrees
I’m hoping this isn’t too much trouble for somebody to answer, if it is i apologise for the inconvenience 🙂
Thanks
