A friend has a tiny Giant Trance from about 2011. She is super small and rides an XS frame. It has about 120m rear travel and up front there is a Fox F series rl fork with about 120mm travel.
She is riding the bike very fast but is finding the limit of suspension travel. Has anyone put a longer travel fork on such a bike? I appreciate that it will slacken the head angle, but how much of a problem would that cause?
the new bikes with 650b and 29 wheels look crazy in such a tiny frame size, and some manufacturers arent even catering for her size.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting some more suspension travel?
