[Closed] What fork? Titus El Guapo..

hi, i have a Rev 150mm on mine, and it's a very good climbing bike! the Fox has a lower A2C, so you may find it too low, but you probably still won't find it too steep, steering wise. So i'd recommend fitting the highest lower headset cup you can (info on mtbr forum) and seeing how you go first. headset cups are only about £25 vs £500+ for a 160mm fork afaik.

I toyed with the same question, and opted for the Fox 36 first. I haven't looked back - it feels like a perfect match. I imagine a Rev or Fox 32 would feel just a bit too low and noodley compared to the frame.

Can't speak for Fox, but Revelations don't feel low or noodly to me, the bike just has a very low bb. like 12.6", about 1" lower than spec apparently (waiting for brant to confirm what it should be!). i doubt a 160mm fox will raise the bb by more than a couple of mm over a 150mm rev, if you think about it (say fork is 8mm higher a2c, less for vertical height, and bb will be raised even less as you're not raising backend). long discusion on mtbr about this.

there seems to be a big gap in market between rev for £280 from merlin and 160mm forks for god knows how much. do you want to pay £600 to raise your bb by 3 or 4mm? i'd take the shorter cranks/thin pedals route and your old fork first!

tl;dr buy a bigger fork if you really want a bigger fork (big rider doing DH?), not just to raise your bb.

I've just fitted the on one smoothie mixer headset, which has around a 10mm bottom stack height so raising the front. frame seems pretty slack enough with just the 150mm float (taken from a trek remedy). will give it a propper ride this weekend.

yeah ride it. not sure if you have taper steerer, but there are headsets up to about 20mm i think. sag and compression on fork also makes a difference.
