Hi, I have got 130mm RST Launch forks. As they are crap I want some more. I do dh, gt and trail centres etc. I was looking at some rockshox pikes 140mm but don't know what effects if any it can cause on my bike. Hope you can help.
10mm = nowt
only worth considering the axle to crown height, rather than 'travel' of forks.
a spanking pair of forks that actually work will improve the bike by far more than any change of geometry (within reason)
So no bother to worry ?
bingo.
buy em, ride em, love em. sorted.
Thanks 😀
I ran Pikes for a year or two. They had way more ability than I have. Really good forks. Not tried the air varriety, but the coil ones were super plush. Really bomb proof peices of kit. I ran them in place of a 130mm fork, but mine had U-turn so could be wound down, but I left them at 140mm most of the time.
