Looking for a beefy 130mm 29er fork, Pike is the obvious choice, but can Traces be lowered?
Also, any experience of these forks, especially in comparison to Pikes, much appreciated
Yes they can drop in 10mm increments, just running in a set (120mmRL2) on a new build and first impression is good. Not that heavy, they feel plush and cf to other longer travel 29ers like Revs and Rebas they are beefy.They are simple to set up, the 15mm axle is a bit agricultural but I think they are better finished than Rockshox offerings.Not used Pike so cannot offer direct cf.
Decent price at momemnt have a word with Bike scene as I think they have some stock.

Yes. I was in the same boat and asked X Fusion themselves. They pointed me to this video and noted that I'd need a clip on spacer in addition to the instructions there. http://www.xfusionshox.com/service/service-videos.html
In the end I just went Pikes anyway as the Alltricks price was cheaper than I could find the Trace anywhere
cheers folks. will watch the vid, wonder if 120mm can be increased to 130...

Actually we made 2 version. We made a 100mm specific version and a 140mm capable version. If it comes in the box 120mm then it is capable of 140mm. But if it is 100mm in the box more than likely it is the 100mm version.
