Anyone had any experience of one of these? It's a 2007 GF Marlin that I picked up for £20. Thinking of putting 120mm forks on, but I'm not sure if it would suit the geometry. [img][URL= http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/407/img20120623131616.jp g" target="_blank">

I think the original fork was 100mm but offset ('Genesis geometry'). 120mm should be ok but obviously a fork without the genesis offset will throw the geometry out to some degree. Try it, what's the worst that can happen..? (I'd hazard a guess that you paid about what it's worth btw)
Hmm. Might just stick with what Mr Fisher intended then. Reading up on them, the geometery puts you further back, so maybe the extra 20mm would be a little bit too much. Besides, who am I kidding. It's not gonna magically turn into a hardcore HT 🙂
