ok so you think the hardrock will do freeride, dj, and dh

it's a little bumpy on dh, unless u replace the fork or give it a hell of a lot of oil. mine has a rst fork, and until u oil it and break it in, it may as well be rigid. but it does everything else quite good
dude my rst is garbage, the seals blew up but theres nothing to seal anyways..i opened it up a while ago and its literally two springs and those knobs that im guessing are rebound are for show, mine went from fkn rigid to so plush its bottoming out off of curbs now

actually 140 mm is the same as 5.51181102 inches, so i think your covered. ask a guy at your bike shop to make sure though
