Hello fellow riders.
It’s my first post and I’m hoping you/some/anyone can help me with my dilemma.
I’ve got a 2001 Klein attitude race, that’s set up for old school singletrack, so it’s got pace rc31’s and xt double push V’s on the moment but after riding these ‘modern’ trials and the fact I’m closer to 40 than I’ve ever been before is making me toy with the idea of front suss and easier braking.
But my problem is this all new suss forks are disc only, so do I get forks, discs which in turn will need new wheels or do I get older forks and Magura’s?
My bikes only designed for about 80mm fork travel, all new ones are 100mm+ and disc only.
So below I have 3 questions
1. Is anyone out there riding a Klein with 100mm+ forks?
2. Are Maguras any good? I’ve read loads of mixed reviews.
3. Is anyone willing to part x some pace rc 31 with v mounts, XT brakes and XT hubs on 717 hoops plus cash for susspension/disc set up?
Thanks for reading, hope I’ve not bored you too much.
