Ryanpmb Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Man oh man. Is the parkwood a all mountain kinda hardtail? It's the 29r HT made for a 120mm fork. More a general fun trail bike than AM.

Ryanpmb Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Can mine handle a 120?The Inbred? 80-100mm suspension forks. The Parkwood has a slightly slacker geo. Edited June 19, 2015 by Ryanpmb Hairy 1
Pieter1 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 The Inbred? 80-100mm suspension forks. The Parkwood has a slightly slacker geo.Yea the inbred. Dammit.
Hairy Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Can mine handle a 120? I wanted to do that back when I had my inbred and the on one boys were not very happy with the idea. At 100mm travel fork the geo is great though. You know how the 456 came about? Many of the 26'er inbred riders were running 130/140mm travel forks on the bike designed for 100mm in order to get more trail feel out of the frame, this inspired both the 456 & summer season frames. So if your fork can be spaced up, give it a spin. The bike will either work or not, and of not you simply space it back down to 100mm again. First prize is a bike designed around a longer travel fork with slacker geo and with a bb that had been dropped slightly to help compensate for the raised front end......a frame such as the parkwood Chro Mo and Ryanpmb 2

Will need a fork tho, my current one has 0mm travel. Ryan how much are those Parkwood frames?
