Topic starter
 

i am building up a Trek EX9 as a lightweight x/c bike but I am not sure what forks to get
it seems that the bikes (when bought complete) have 130mm forks on
i would like to get some fox forks but i am struggling to find some 130mm ones, unless of course you know better

thanks

Running pikes on mine, they are adjustable but I generally just leave them at 140mm all the time.

Hello Gooner, i have got some pushed pikes on mine, it rides great, and the difference after having them pushed is a lot, much better through the whole stroke, and i use the uturn a fair bit too, i dont notice any difference in the way the bike handles but they are so much stiffer that it encourages you to try n go faster.
Maybe we'l meet up next year and do holy trail, im going back in august and again on sept 2nd for a few days, il time how long the push is.
