Your ad says Sram GX 11-speed, 10-50t cassette - SRAM dont make a 10-50t in 11-speed, only 12-speed (eagle). Looking at your pics, you definately have an 11-speed derailleur, and the cassette looks to be a 10-42t rather - might want to update your ad accordingly.

29 x 2.2, pretty thin actually, but roll well.

Here she is in road-bike Guise, different wheels with Conti racekings, still 140mm, did a 110km ride yesterday, comfy, quick no problems:

Pike 29er 140mm is 551mm A2C

It all depends how you setup your sag. 10% sag is going to feel like a tower compared to 30-35%. the 140mm @ 30% feels just perfect, makes me lean forward into climbs and tech sections, but it never feels like its "nose light"

140mm PIke with 30% sag and 3 tokens works just great.

I have a 140mm Pike on mine and the geometry is fine.

Emigrating...

I know its sacrilege, but I'm thinking of selling mine :/

Could be a meniscus tear, you should see an ortho to be sure. Simple xray or mri will confirm. Pk

go for a fitment, but decribe your issue and what kind of setup you want - an XC/Marathon style fitment is not so great for the rest of us looking for comfort.

add crank length as a possible cause - dropping from 175mm to 170mm sorted out my knee issues.

I think 140mm for this frame is the absolute max...

Remember that with every 20mm of fork length increase, HA adjusts about 1 degree slacker and SA about 0.5 degrees.

Thanks I have a 120mm lying around as well in case it needs it. Have a good feeling about the 140mm though...
