you obviously didnt understand. if a 200mm dual crown is as tall as a 180mm single crown, then a 180mm dual crown will be around the same height as a 160mm single crown.

The point im trying to make is that it should still be a single crown bike to begin with, at 160 mm, I don't care if the axle to crown is similar, why would someone want to put that old of a fork on such a nice bike when single crowns are more versatile, and as stiff as the older dual crowns?

infiltrator, i was responding to jamis, sorry.

jamis: maybe because its cheaper? maybe he wants the extra travel? who knows? but his question was whether it would mess up the bike, not whether old forks are as nice as new ones.

I also ride the same places he does, and theres no way he needs more travel, but whatever, im not even gonna bother arguing.

yes he is just retarded. people wouldnt be pissy if you put a totem on, and that would rake out the bike and be more likely to snap the headtube than a 180mm boxxer. dont know why you would want to put such an old fork on such a nice bike though. get a fox 36.

why not it is a freeride bike that is made for 180mm, why would they sell a complete setup with the totems.

Because it has 150something in the back, and it probably handles nicer with 160 in the back, like more nimble, dude you ride ontario, theres nothing here for you to need 180 really.

I also ride blue and have never bottomed out, and my fork is set up to be pretty squishy, now i really dont care what you do, you obviously arent taking any advice im giving, so this is now a moot point.

its all about how you ride, if you dont have to pedal anywhere and dont do much dj, a little extra travel wont hurt

I have a jamis parker with 4 inches of travel in the back with a 160mm domain uturn in the front, i rarely bottom out my rear or front suspension, only on really flat landings.

so 180mm would be fine in the front right
