Considering selling my Sherpa frame to a Salsa Spearfish frame but I'd like to use my new 2015 Rockshox Reba rl forks.
Will this adversely affect the handling, also my forks are not 51mm offset.

I'm pretty certain you can but that's what the Horsethief was for.

Ran 120mm on my mk1 for a while when i first got it. No negatives, even did the STW weekender as my first ride on it and came mid pack on the DH race. Original ones were pre-51mm forks (a trek only thing at the time) so id not worry about it.

Pretty certain they say no on the website. I'm not running 51 mm forks and have had no issues.

Cheers, if all else fails I'll drop the forks to 100mm. Cheers
