Hi Riders:

-I am building a DMR Drone Reptoid (CrMo Frame), the Recommended Fork Length from DMR is 80mm suspension

-I can get 100mm fork and I know with that length I won´t break the frame, but I can get one more resistant with 120mm.

-Do you guys think the frame will break more easily with a 120mm suspension?

-Is the frame resistant enough to get a 120mm suspension?

-Please Help me

I was looking this over earlier .
Ok the fork is a Marzocchi
DJ 80 mm 477.5
DJ 100mm: 490mm
Fox
F120: 490.9mm
So with this you get hardly no change in geometry but gain more travel hope this helps.
