|   Shorter rear travel than front for full suspension rig. | N:
Nov 3, 2001 6:55 AM | | Can anyone advise on the performance of a full sus rig if the rear travel is shorter than the front? for example if I have 3" or 4" rear and 5" front. Thanks. |

The main thing to keep in mind is what the geometry was designed for. I don't know what bike you are talking about, but if the front was designed with a 3" fork in mind, a 5" fork may really screw up the handeling, due to the fork being so much taller.
