As above really, just got a pair given to me but ideally I need 100mm to match the geometry of my frame, can it be done?

Cheers

Jim

Almost any fork can be limited to less travel even if not designed for it. Just fit a longer top out stack/spring or limit how far the fork can extend.

Ah yes. Oops. I suspect that the f90 is limited to 90mm. I doubt Thought that 10mm (more like 7 when you account for sag) will make any real difference

you ride like a girl james. when you gonna make a posse ride? I add you to the emails but never here from you!

you'd be better off asking mojo & letting them know the exact fork model.

Another option is to fit a +10mm headset.

yes, just remove the 10mm spacer from above the negative spring

"Almost any fork can be limited to less travel even if not designed for it. Just fit a longer top out stack/spring or limit how far the fork can extend." that will only work for short reductions in travel. making big changes will affect overall damping performance & isnt recommended.

Scant - yes of course. I guess saw that as obvious but maybe was worth pointing out.
