Now, I know, old bike. I'm learning that painfully when I tried to have the rear shock replaced recently and nobody makes a shock short enough to fit it. But, I still see a few of these around.
My question is, does anybody have experience of putting 100mm forks on these. The Manitou Skarebs on them are smooth and feel like a very deep 80mm (but bobby out of the saddle), but a bit thin and flexy. I figure some nice sturdy 100mm air sprung forks would be great, and slacken the head angle a bit for a more playful ride. Does this match up with other people's experience?
Any other pointers on keeping this bike going would be much appreciated
