Just wondering what the axle to crown measurement on the F29 forks is, as I'm contemplating going down the 96er (69er?) route but don't want to upset geometry too much.
Info much appreciated!
Cheers

Thanks Uplink, that'd be useful.

My 2012 F29s measure 508mm from crown to axle centre
That's with the bike hanging up and air in them

Mine are 500mm fully extended.

Magic, thanks chaps, about the same as my previous Reba 29ers then. I was hoping to use them on a frame recommended for 120mm forks but they'd be about the same axle-crown and you'd need to factor in the extra height from a 29er wheel so not sure if this'll work.
