Went with a 100m travel RockShox Sektor in 29" cause I could not find good deal of 120mm travel. It has 23mm Longer AtC without any addet sag to diminish the increase. If I'm not wrong I should be able to increase the travel by 20mm without additional parts and I will probably test it later ...
A bit of an update in case anyone is genuinely interested. Got my shoulder injured and had to put the project on hold, and then all this covid19 thing started and some more hold to it again. However I did manage to test some things.
Cause of my shoulder injury I got a satori headsup2...
Oh... And I live up north. So about 2-4 months each year it gets snow, sleet, ice. So proper MTB is preferred even on the best paved roads for riding whole year.
Thanks for all the replies. So far I've gotten both new ideas (if reach is getting too short) on what to look for as well as confirmation on some things I was not sure about.
My riding is 80-90% commuting on tarmac and taking shortcuts on light trails. There I only want added comfort, not...
Yes it is somewhat short, but the angle picture is taken is makes it appear even shorter than it is. Measures as given by supplier is top tube 595mm ( I tihnk this is effective length). I'm not sure how short this really is. Subjectively I don't really feel like I need to worry about not having...
Thanks. I very much agree on what you said. I'm currently running the numbers I have from my old bike (Kona Mahuna 2019 L size) I never felt bad with, against my current E-bike and placing all the specs I can find to a spreadsheet. Then running possible fork changes with geometryCalc and adding...
Thanks you for your reply. Very much appreciated! I know 42mm is big. Even in my original post I ask "Can I put more?" it is there as more of a conversation starter ( tho a local bike shop clerk said I could go as far as 150mm...).
If I understand right, the spacer/bigger crown race would...
I want to increase both handlebar and BB height. I could go with changing stem, handlebar and shorter cranks for similar effect, but I'm looking towards changing a longer front fork. I have very little experience on adjusting bike geometry before.
My bike is GZR Rampag-e, a 27.5PLUS bike with...
Hi everyone. Got my first e-mtb only 2 months a go. Gradually worsening spinal injury and new pain meds made driving 4-wheels feel unsafe and legs a bit jellyish. E-bike to the rescue !
90% of my riding is daily commuting on tarmac with a kiddy trailer hanging to the bike. 10% is local trails...
