|   80mm vs. 100mm | Ben S
Jun 6, 2002 3:29 PM | | Alright, I've narrowed down my choices for my C-dale Super V. If I stay with 80mm I can upgrade my fork to a lighter, more adjustable air headshok. It is only worthwhile to go with another brand to get additional travel. I ride mostly flat, but technical terrain - lots of roots, logs, ridges, etc. Will a 100mm travel fork help with riding such terrain or is any more than 80mm only beneficial for DH or freeriding?
Thanks. |
| depends on how well you set the 80mm to work for you. | RVM
Jun 6, 2002 7:00 PM | | if you're able to get a good 80mm set up for your type of riding, that's all that you'll need. I got a '99 Sid XC set at 80 mm and works great for me if I set it right.
To me, 100 mm makes it easier to set up your shock as you don't have to worry about bottoming out as much since you got an extra 20 mm of travel to fiddle with. |
