I got a trek session 10 for Christmas and it came with a boxer with 8 inches of travel and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes 10 inch travel forks.

Actually I do want that because my trek session 10 was designed to have 10 inch travel forks for it to have proper geometry

How do you know that? Do you own one? Or are you just saying that.

HA, put on a 10 inch travel fork and the headtube will snap like raw spaghetti.

It's common sense. Installing a fork longer than recommended puts tons of extra stress on the frame, especially the headtube. Not to mention the drastic change in geometry.

I was told 10 inch forks are what the frame was designed for

The fact that you feel that it is better to call me a dumb ass and be dicks to me instead of helping out a kid who was given some bad information just proves how childish the grown of pinkbike are
