    Q. what travel forks for a Foes fxr (6"R)

    150mm ?

    have been riding a rigid singlespeed most if last season here in Norway – then the frame broke…got my xc bike going with 100mm travel on the front and softail YBB style on the back. So a new experience starting for next season…previously ridden a:
    Ellsworth Truth (4"), and BITD
    DeKerf / AMP FS(?2")

    So advice of longer travel bikes appreciated.

    Like the idea of the bargin Swiss DT fork 130 or 150mm choice!
    Or alternativly?

    Tangent, I have a few sets of TALAS and Floats at good prices, certainly much cheaper than shop prices 🙂

    Mail me for details.

    Cheers Si, appreciated 8)…i'll drop ya an email…anything gotta be cheaper than the prices have seen in here in Oslo! 😯

    Currnet faves are some bargin DT Swiss EXC 150mm with a 20mm axle.
    Partly becuase have been running with Pace forks since '92…and my current 100mm set have the same adjustment features etc.

    Not really sure I can be really arsed with adjustable travel for this bike?…

    Can anyone expain otherwise? ta

    I think most of the mags agree on the Float 36s being the choice fork in this category.
