|   ? about RS Duke SL forks | coldcut
Jun 6, 2002 11:45 PM | | Silly question: Is the 100mm RS Duke SL the same height or longer than the 80mm fork? I was concerned about 100mm fork raising the front end of my bike. |

Jun 7, 2002 2:17 AM | | Measured static the fork will be 20mm longer, crown race to axle. On the bike though, this may not be true: if you run say one quarter of the travel as sag with both forks, then when you sit on the bike the 100mm Duke will only sit 15mm higher, not 20mm.
If your bike was designed around a 20mm travel fork, then a 100mm travel fork generally will be OK. And as it is an air fork it is dead easy to fiddle with the spring rate/ sag levels and find something that suits. |
