Hullo all

Got a new Scott Aspect 20 a couple of months ago and really enjoying it. But already getting the upgrade bug!! [so should have stumped up for the 10 version, but do love the white frame of mine! 8) ] Mine currently has RS Dart 2 with 100mm and lock/o, rebound adjust etc.

So, would my frame take a RS u-travel fork [130mm travel]?? - or would it be too long?

Thinkin a new Tora 318 or scouring ebay for deals on 2nd hand rebas.

The air forks looks complicated - would i be better going for a 100mm travel air fork??

Be used for general trails, canal paths and some road.

Complete newbie, so be gentle! :D

    i would not be going over 100mm on that bike.

    Reba 100mm SL. but you will need an adapter for the brake.
