Shortly I'm going to start building up an orange patriot frame, just curious as to what forks would suit this bike, I plan to run it as a 160mm on the front so would be interested to find out what forks I need to look out for.

I have looked briefly and came across lyriks, but what alternates are there, at a decent price

Consider both 9mm or 20mm forks as not got wheels yet?

Can you get qr forks with that level of travel? Or is it best to avoid?

yes you can. i had some triple clamps with qr ๐Ÿ˜ฏ but to avoid the fork legs trying to head in different directions its best to use a 20mm
