Mmmm.... An Anthem was built around a 100mm fork, so 140 might be a bit steep.

surely it would make it more "raked" rather than steep? your front end angle would be more more relaxed and not as responsive in the twisty stuff. didn't go your way, but the opposite and fitted a 100mm fork to a trance. no problems. but i don't think the float is right for your bike.holy roller2010-01-12 20:43:56

Shot HR - This is true - I meant steep as in 'yikes, R2000 for that is a bit steep' aka overkill - the longer fork will most definately make the angle more slack, which is not the biggest concern, if you slacken the angle too much, you can tear off a head tube.
