But arnt the head angles on those bikes different or something to make them stronger? not that it makes much difference and I dont think those forks are an 8 inch fork anyway The only thing Id be worried about is landing a big jump and the head tube snapping or something like that (if that could happen)
na these are only a 6 inch or something like that i forgot and if you can snap a head tube off an stp well good luck to you and hardtail downhill are the same thing but with more travel and the only thing that can snap a head tube that bad is like 50/50 casing 10 metre jump or something like that
