I have purchased a 21" Handjob and was wondering what the ideal travel forks would be. Cove states anything betwen 100 130, but the bike would have been designed around an ideal length. Any ideas? Thanks LJ
Mine runs some 100 coil recons and its great - but I'm looking to change to some 130s.
At first I found it a bit wondery one the climbs but shifting my seat forward helped that - i'm guessing that 130s might not help that.
Why not find some adjustable ones - revelations / pikes?
According to [url= http://www.silverfish-uk.com/products/147-cove_handjob.php?r=3m4d0b2s0 ]Silverfish[/url] 130mm.
I've just changed from 115mm Marathons, to 130mm All Mountains (mines a '06, so geometry for shorter than 130mm). But it still rides great. Yeah, a little bit more wander on climbs, but I'll cope.
130mm Revs (just fitted a Pike) work fine, do wander a bit on climbs but i'd only wind down for long ascents, 130mm on the downs keeps HA slack for 🙂
