Hey guys quick question.. can I put boxer type forx on my bike ? Physically I know I can , but I dont know if it will upset the handling or if its the right type of frame to do it to. Starting to take on alot more ruthless downhill runs nowadays so figure more travel is needed 😉

It will slacken the angles (1 degree per 17mm of sagged travel increase) - may mess up the handling, may not.
You may need a 20mm axle wheel.
May invalidate the warranty on the frame.
Will look stupid 😛
You [i]can[/i], but your bike will handle like shite, look ridiculous and quite possible break. Up to you.
Ye the bike will just look nicked. And you'll look like a plonker, until it breaks.
Lol ok guys thnx 😉 think I will just stick with it how it is untill I can afford to upgrade 😉
This is what you need.12" up front. 😉

Upgrade? Yourforks are ****ing ace.
Get a skills course
Removing the cat from the front wheel will help... 😉
you would be better off trying to find a cheapish second hand downhill bike and keeping that one as it is
What you really need is bigger wheels. 😀
Doing the quick release skewer up should help to 😀
If you remove the cat will it pass its MOT??
More fun with less travel sell ya front wheel an fork you'll make enough to get a 2nd hand lyrik an a wheel, don't put boxxer on it may snap your frame as the forks stiffer than you frame it will stress it
Boxxer are the worng choice, screw up handling and void warranty.
It's also quality of travel, not quantity.
You have some basic looking QR fox forks, flexy wheels, what tyres you on?
New wheels/tyres/bolt thru forks will make a far bigger, productive change than going for a set of boxxers.
Get some lyriks/36s, DH wheels and some super tacky 2.5 minions, job done.
Make it hard work trail riding, mind.
Also by ruthless on the DH runs, do you mean you're riding DH tracks and pushing up
or
Are you just trying some more technical riding?
I reckon he's slaying the gnar (next step after shredding it)
It's the fourth of January, why are your christmas decorations still up?
Are you 15. If so this is def a good idea. Your mates will think your ace and girls will want to have sex with you as you cruise around town.
I remember putting some crash damaged triple clamp stratos mx-6 on my gt zascar
Ride was awfull but looked amaaaaaaaaazong baby
