Dump the fugging DC fork and remember what you're trying to do here, FFS

Could you put a rigid fork up front and average out the travel to 80mm as a total.....or something....Ok, not so helpful.

How does a bike with 13” BB height do that when 8” forks and 9” rear compress?

Cause science.

Not peer reviewed...but I had the same bike. I didn’t come any where near doing that.

There's 2 and a bit inches less tyre height going on there too...

Maybe he's made of lead?

Wrong rear shock, something collapsed, rear linkage modified, the possibilities are endless.

Perhaps so. Was on their enduro frames from memory and had a bunch of epic gnar ride pics attached?

But yes...just buy a sensible+sendable 140-170mm single crown fork. The 150/170mm Marzocchi 55cr that I have on a straight steerer is a good example. A great fork for this kind of frame.

The early Wilson's had a rep for cracking.

Unfortunately you are not likely to sell straight forks. Or at least in my price range

Yeah nah.

Indeed. So many ewwwwws.

 

[fatboyonabike]

any interest?

ended up putting a Marz 55cr on so I could use normal hope wheels.

Very solid option. They could have easily gone with a 36 or similar....but spesh.

Depends if he has the slightest interest in staying with the XC brief.
