    Thinking of changing the forks on my enduro evo to save a bit of weight
    From 36 170mm travel
    To. 34 160mm travel

    The new ones are 17 mm shorter axle to crown
    Will this matter

    34 will run with less sag anyway

    Opinions please

    Your head angle will be a bit steeper and your BB will be a bit lower. If you’re OK with these, you’ll be fine. If you can find a way of sagging the current fork a bit then that will give you a feel for the ride.

    I was aware of the steeper head angle but had not thought about the bb
    Think I’d be better going out in the cold and measuring the current axle to crown with me on the bike
