i dont know wat the best to put on it so does any one have any ideas
I just put some 09' Talas 32 140's and they are brill up hills and down 😉
thanks alot but wat did u have on it b4
Sorry nothing as I built it up from a frame only 😉
depends what you want to do with it...
Burly - Fox 36's
Light(er) - Pikes or some Fox 32 Qr15's
Magura Thors. Best option and cheaper than Fox/DT etc. Not to mention way lighter.
Where do you ride, what kind of riding, how 'rad' and 'core are you?
cross country/downhill an will try anything !!!!! 😆 dalez an an in gisburn forest
08 Pike U-turn air on mine, wind down to 110mm for XC, wind out to 140mm for play, great forks...
Had 05 talas on mine, subsequently changed to 07 air u-turn pikes. The Pikes are superior in every department apart from weight.
have u stil got the 05 talas
Fox Talas or Float 140's, QR15's if you can stretch that far.
Dalesboyz- you after some Talas ?
I might want to swap Pace 130s for something longer...
What have you got now?
Though you'll struggle to really go wrong with something suistable for the 5, bear in the arch-crown hieghts of the forks you are considering.
For instance a fox 32 @ 140mm is lower than a rockshox or magura 140mm
A fox 32 @ 100mm is lower (471mm) than a fox 36 @ 100mm (485mm), for winding down for climbing.
Magura Menja @ 130mm = 500mm
Rochshox Revelation/Recon @ 130mm = 508mm
Fox 32 @ 140mm = 511mm
Rockshox Revelation/Pike @ 140mm = 518mm
Magura Thor @ 140mm = 520mm
Magura Wotan @ 160mm = 540mm
Fox 36 @ 160mm = 545mm
Fox Lyrik @ 160mm = 545mm
Not sure about DT swiss/pace, (or even mavericks) though (I think quite short), ATA/TST marzocchis aren't great by numerous accounts
