Increasing travel implications

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

Hoping someone can shed some light on this...

 

A friend of mine has a Specialized camber comp with 110mm travel up front and back. He is wanting to purchase a fork with 140mm travel.

What are the implications of this?

Is this advisable?

What is the maximum he should increase to or is this okay?

It basically all hinges on the axle to crown (a2c) measurement. I know of cambers with 130mm forks on them (international forums) and if the difference in a2c measurements aren't that large then it won't be a problem.

 

FYI - I put a 150mm fork in a bike that was designed for 100mm and it was wonderful...
