looking for something w/ a bit more travel than my MOZO XMO. what's the most travel recommended w/out affecting the head angle too much.

I'd pick something in the 80 mm travel range

maybe even in the 63.

How much travel do you have on that Mozo now? I'd just match that and head angle shouldn't change too much.

I belive it's a 70mm fork, but the steering seems a bit twitchy w/ my shorter stem. That's why I want to move to a bigger travel fork both for comfortable and to slow down the steering a bit.

You could get a Skareb.. they are cheap in JensonUSA right now.

I switched to a Marzocchi MX Comp coil fork on my '96 Stumpjumper FS (steel frame). Set to 85mm travel, it works extremely well, and is a good match for the frame.

The MX doesn't have a lot of sensitivity though. If you have the bucks, my next choice would have been a Marathon SL.

I have a recycled 2002 Black 80-100 on the front of my son's bike and it handles fine. It slowed it down just a smidge.
