Pikey Posted June 13, 2016 Share So sc use all geo measurements on a 120 fork with ac of 521. Mrp 130 is 538 and has a 51 offset (couldn't find the offset sc use) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikey Posted June 13, 2016 Share How do you mean? I take that as a good thing... me to,but am a skeptic at the best of times.Any sc website in the good ole usa say 120 max . Which I am sure that is them protecting themselves . Suppose I am just surprised that whether or not they know the frame can handle it,to actually be so bold to put it in writing publicly . Not sure how old that is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommended fork for my TBLT is 140mm. Been running a 160mm pike on there for the last 2 years. No issues. Those SC frames can take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtb impi Posted June 13, 2016 Share You will feel it on the downs, for sure. I once had to re do all the fillings in my teeth after I have bottomed out on a previous bike&fork. Unfortunetaly that wasn't the only expense i had from the mishap. I will certainly have mine re-adjusted asap to 130mm (it is a pike afterall, and same goes for the TB frame (being very capable). I am quite sure you will feel it on the downs, and it makes absolut! sense lowering the bar with a spacer or two. Thanks for pointing that out Myles, makes sense and practical to get to enjoying the potensial of that fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubba Posted June 13, 2016 Share Flippin awesome news... So even 140 on tb with my lightweight is good.Time to make it happen.The reality is, that it's still only a 100mm travel bike. I don't see the benefit of going 140 in the front. Even with lowering the front, and pushing the saddle forward, the geometry is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
