Will it be work, or ruin the handling?

Fine!
But you will still burst into flames.

You will burst into flames, only when your tyres have exploded first, due to the extra 3" of rolling velocity.

If they are 120 Fox forks, it'll only be 15mm difference anyway plus add in 2-3mm of extra sag and you're down to just over 10mm. Won't stop you bursting into flames but hey ho

Was going to do the same to my 16" Scandal 29er but bugger all 120mm 29er forks at my budget so went with 100mm. Did get a slackset though.

Let us know what it rides like

Certain flame induced death.

I was thinking of the CRC Rev oem bargain numbers that are on the go right now, I'll just reduce them down to 120mm with spacers.

Given how cold it's been I may welcome a bit of heat ๐Ÿ˜›

Didn't work on my Inbred. Not sure how simillar the angles are to the Scandal but front felt very tall.

Fine on my 19" so far, 120mm towers, slackened it a little and added some weight but they work a hell of a lot better than the 100mm sid rct3's I initially had on it
