Hi, after riding at many scottish mountain bike routes, my Dad has decided he would like to upgrade his suspension because right now his manipoo forks are not much better than rigids.

Here is a pic and spec of the bike:

Would it be possible to put a 100mm fork onto the bike as it comes standard with 80mm without causing any damage?

I have quickly come together with a few forks that are the sort of thing he is looking for:

Rock Shox Reba Race Dual Air & Poploc 2007

Marzocchi MX Pro ETA

Manitou R7

What fork do you think would be best for a Trek 6500 for cross-country but still capable of more agressive stuff at places like glentress?

Replies greatly apperciated.

Sean
