GT I-Drive Team 100mm Fork?(7 posts)

GT I-Drive Team 100mm Fork?LWL
Sep 4, 2002 4:35 PM
I have a SID Race 63mm and I want to put a new fork on with more travel. Can I go with a 100mm marathon? Or should I only go with the 80mm
Thanks.

You will need a much better setup to keep up with me Steve-O! Put on the Zoke & see how it feels.
Is Steve-O thinking of the same fork?lwl

Sorry, My buddy, Steve-O rides an I-Drive team and hates the short travel. I have a stock IDrive team (Supergo Special) and although I like the fork, the bike has been a nightmare. The fox float won't lock out, the Sid fork crown did not fit right into the headset, and the worst problem is that the shifting is terrible no matter how many bike shops I send it to. I think its the routing, as XTR should be better that that!
Mine shifts good but,lwl

I can't seem to get the front guide to not rub the chain. Other than that it is a great bike and for the price I could't have bought the parts that come on it for the same amount of money!

The geometry of the race long top tube long chain stays three inch travel in the back.GT recomended not to go above an 80mm fork, the 63mm that came on it is ideal for xc racing.If you were to put a 100mm fork on it would handle really weird.But if you wanted to try it with both 80mm or 100mm buy a phylo that adjusts for either one.
thanks for the advicelwl
