Hey Everyone,
Got myself a Big Wig in lockdown and surprised myself with how much I took to riding it. It’s the 2013 model, the guy I got it off put 120mm Raidon forks on it as he was wanting the good ones. I’ve now outgrown and destroyed those forks and am in major need of an upgrade.
Has anyone here run longer travel more modern forks on one of these? Seen some posts talking about 140mm forks, and that seems fine, but I’ve found a nice set of Pikes that are 150mm, is that asking too much and would it stress the frame too much?
Last question, some of the specs on it I’ve found talk about max travel being 150mm with an internal headset, 130 with an external. Is this actually an issue? Finding non-tapered forks is proving pretty tricky now.
Thanks, Donald
