merry christmas morning folks :-). i have a pair of garbage marzocchi forks on my explosif with 120mm travel but they're going to have to go.i've been looking at a pair of second hand sids but they are 80- 100mm,if i run them at 100mm will the 20mm difference be noticeable to the point of making it un rideable?i prefer the arse up head down approach when i'm riding so hopefully they won't make too much difference 😀
cheers
the 20mm should speed up the handling a little, assuming the headangle wasn't stupid steep at 120, which i very much doubt the bike will be fine, and being as there seems to have been a trend of turning nice handling bikes into slack angled barges it should improve the ride.
What year Explosif?
I thought they were designed around a 100mm fork anyway, in which case that would be ideal and the 120's you've been running will have slackened it a touch.
thanks for the replies,
i'm having a punt on them as the marzocchi are the pits
thanks again,much appreciated

Look, no worries about the time scale. I left London to forget what stressing about time was. Whenever will do me nicely.
