Front suspension option


DeRosa21

Recommended Posts

What is my best option? Iam 1.88M AND 115KG. I have 2 MtBs, a hardtail and a full suspension. Seldom use the hardtail and will most likely sell it at some stage. The specialised camber comp has the original rockshox 30 gold with 120mm travel and the Scott comp a Rockshox Reba with 100mm travel and remote lockout. My question is it worth my while to exchange the 30 with the Reba on my Camber, before I let the Scott go? The Reba also has a significantly longer top tube than the 30, which might help, I have a angled stem on the camber at the moment to compensate for the height a bit.

Also wouldnt help having q longer steerer as you will drop 20mm in stack height by fitting the 100mm fork

Rock Shox Pike, Rock Shox Pike or otherwise Rock Shox Pike. ???? Don’t mean to fool around, but it is an amazing fork. For a bigger guy i would probably run it at 130 to 140mm travel on that Chamber.

You could also get a 120mm airshaft for the Reba and then put that in the Chamber. It will be your cheapest option to do a upgrade right now with the 2 forks that you have.

A 29 Reba at 120 under a 115kg rider is going to be as floppy as a piece of cooked spaghetti.

 

Ride the XC30 until you find a Pike, Revelation, Yari or Fox 34 to put on there instead.
