Originally posted in A/M section but also wanted to ask here :
Currently running an RS Sektor with 150 mm travel and I'm planning to change it with a new Pike 160 dual position.
My question is, can I get the 27.5 one for a better choice in future upgrades or the extra 10 mm added in axle to crown will mess up the ride?
Axle to crown :
Sektor : 528 mm
Pike 26“ : 542 mm
Pike 27.5“ : 552 mm
I wouldn't mind a slighty slacker angle since I ride pretty steep terains, but nothing to extreme that will change the way it rides in a bad way.
By checking pictures of Jerome's bike from last year with the clearance that his front tire had and also taking in consideration that he previously had a 170 Lyrik with a similar A to C, I wonder if Sram did the same thing.
