I took a punt on the complete build X5 456-evo and so far so good, even the Avid brakes are working and sharp, i have resisted the urge to swap over right away to my preferred Shimano….anyway, the fork is coil sprung and 140mm….i’m sure i remember reading that coil sprung forks can have their travel extended quite easily?…is this true?…can a 140mm Sektor be sent away to some suspension gurus and built out to 150mm travel?

Secondly, the 160mm brake rotor on the back is adequate but i’d like a 180 on there, can it be done Brant?…looks like a tight fit to me.

Cheers.
