That fork is way too long for that frame :laughing: .... You ruined the handling of a sweet hard tail.. :shaking:

actually the fork is adjustable..so you can take these :shaking: and :flipoff2: I can adjust it down to 2 inches of travel and lock the fork if i wanna :smokin:

ive got clipless for the litespeed...but ive found it benefitial while urban riding to keep the peddles in case i need to get oout quick...like about to be squished by a car quick :D

just got back from my first ride.....sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeett wth was i thinking riding my mtb on the roads :D

actually the fork is adjustable..so you can take these :shaking: and :flipoff2: I can adjust it down to 2 inches of travel and lock the fork if i wanna :smokin: :D

Cool I didnt know it was adjustable like that ......... I put a longer fork on my ti frame and it "ruined" the steering :crybaby:

Nice garage pictures ...... looks just like mine, with crap everywhere :beer:

I put i longer travel fork on my DJ bike(yes its 2 totaly difrent things)but it made the steering better

I have to call bullshit, if I am not misstaken your for is not adjustable, it should have the standard ECC valving which will enable you to reduce the fork length for climbing purposes, but it also jacks up the travel so to use the fork on the downhill you must have it full length. Basicly the fork is too long for the bike.

well reducing the fork length and having the means to lock it out to me means adjustable...anyhoo i tried it out yesterday and it works great for riding on the street at 2 inches, less bob etc. And while bombing a downhill I ran it both compressed and fully extended. Seemed to work well in both scenarios although running it fully extended was nice - for once my wrists were not hurting form the vibes....just soaked everything up...felt like i was riding a lazy-boy. Im happy with the results and adjustability.

Nice score. Meet us at Sokel Demo on Sunday's. We rode yesterday in the rain :p Great fun! I might be riding up Mt. Hamilton on the 25th with some people at work if you want to try out the roadbike.
Did you get my PM a few weeks ago?

I didn't think you'd put that fork on the bike. I should come out to the east bay again sometime and do that little loop around the lake.
