Front Fork Lengths & Riding Habits

[RockCoach]

 

 

Yeah, I'm running a 160mm Fox 36 Talas. So 3 travel settings, 160, 130, and 100.

 

I have on occasion set it to 100 to climb. But once when i forgot it was on 100 (and had been off the bike for 2 weeks) i hit a jump and kissed the ground, haha... 100mm fork totally messes with AM bike geometry

 

I can feel it immediately when trail points back down. HAngle feels steep and even on flat bike feels like its riding downhill.
