“Travel is adjusted by interchanging the rocker plates, though you’d need suitable forks for each version as it’s designed to run forks spanning 130-160mm travel.”
That is just wrong IMO. The point of the Hemlock is that you can effectively have two different types of bike (via changing the rocker) whilst keeping the same fork up front. Shorter rear travel for punchy techy “hardtaily” riding. Longer rear travel for fast, lumpy ‘n’ jumpy descending. Or a “UK” set up and an “Alps” set up.
Shame about the production faults with the frame. Not good for anyone on any side of any fence.
