Max travel.. & BOOBS!
Methinks this question has been asked before but I can't find the thread. Anyway, I just put a black platinum on a (warranty replaced) XC aluminum hardtail which has no gussets. Too much fork for the bike you say? maybe but WTF. The frame was designed for a 80mm fork. I know about the geomtry changing with the travel but I am wondering what you fine and decent people think about the frame integrity. I'll probably do most riding at either 90 or 100 mm. If I crank it up to 130 mm ocaisionally will the frame explode?
Sorry no boobs, needed more hits.
