posted my rocky on your rides.
had a comment about the head angle to steep.
so measured my forks and measures 110mm?
im i right in thinking to measure lengh from the seals to the crown
checked the rocky site and they run 100mm on theres would this make a difference to the frames strengh?
thanks

    110mm of staintion is ok for a 100mm fork .

    head angle would be slacker with a longer fork.

    Some one can not look at pictures and see it was taken at an angle.

    looks fine.

    Head angle looks steep on photo but without a dead side-on view and some suitable background for reference, there is no way to tell. It could just be an illusion.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.
