[#3445895]

Currently running mine with 80mm forks but thinking of upping the travel (Rebas) to either 100 or 115mm.

Website seems to suggest that 100mm should be fine but cannot recall seeing one ๐Ÿ˜•

Anyone help/advise?

I do and i've never had any issues with it. Had it rigid at first then put a cheap 15mm bolt thru 100mm Suntour Epicon on it.

I think it's designed around an ideal of 80mm but the blurb said a maximum of 100mm when i bought mine last year. I'd have thought 115mm would be too much.

Will be going round gisburn with 100 rebas tomorrow. Just upgraded from rigid. So far feels good. Might have to reduce spacers. Will try to give an update tomorrow.

Running mine at 120mm. Rides well, but front is high up. Best at 100mm IMO. 120mm feels like a lot of travel on a 29er.
Trawl through my posts & there will be a pic or a link to my Flickr page. (On phone & can't post pics on this thing).

I do and it's better than 80mm, much better than 120mm.

Thanks all.

I like the feel of mine at 80mm but had considered upping it to 100mm.

Will give it a bash me thinks.

@bob - Any post ride updates?
