I've got a Genesis Caribou fat bike (green one with the tapered headset) and I want to put some suspension forks on it. The rigid fork is 100mm Sus-corrected, would I mess things up too much if I put a 120mm suspension fork on?
IMO no.
It's about 1 degree of head angle, you might not even notice it.
Thanks cynic-al and tjagain. Will press on with the 120 forks.
No, crack on. All is easy assuming the hub width is the same. And the same axle type.
Are Blutos still the fork of choice? What's out there these days?
I'm considering suss forks on my Dune for worsening wrist pain.
Blutos are ok, but mastodons pros are in a different league (stiffness, performance). To quote a movie, “they are not in the same ball park, they are not even in the same goddam sport”
Just watch mastodon AtC - they are a tall, especially in ext.
I put 120 blutos on my salsa beargrease and am delighted with it. Transforms the bike into something properly rideable ( previously big impacts were too painful and control on rough ground tricky). The front hub is a novatech and while it was difficult to work out which end caps I needed to go from 150mm QR to 150 mm x 15 mm maxle novatech USA sorted me out with the right part number and novatech europe supplied me with them.
I was doubting keeping it before fitting the bluto. Now its deffo a keeper
Manitou honestly best fork around, easy to service, parts are cheap and the difference is mega - I have both bluto and manitou pro, and manitou are much much better
