[Closed] New forks for an Anthem, what to get?

I want to upgrade the 80mm Recons that came with my anthem.

Will a 100mm fork mess up the geometry, or will I not notice the extra height? I have no particular hankering for the extra travel, but 80mm forks seem to be getting rarer.

Anyone done this already?

Cheers,

John

It'll be fine, you could run them with a little more sag and increase the compression damping to keep them upright if need be. I did it on mine and thought it was an improvement.

The anthem was apparently designed for a 100mm fork, but for some reason they shipped it with an 80mm fork in this country only. They work a lot better with 100mm forks - i stuck menjas on mine.
