i am looking to upgrade the fork on my giant 4in full squish, it currently comes specced with the 100mm rs dart 2, i am thinking of putting a longer travel rs tora fork with u-turn so i can adjust the travel or if the missus will let me stretch a couple of quid more put a reba sl on which i can pick up for about £250, ideally i dont want to spend this much. does anyone know if the frame geometry of the giant yukon fx will let me go upto the 130mm travel of the tora or am i best sticking to 100mm, i cant find anything on giants website which says the maximum travel for the frame,
:?
thanks

    I'd stick to 100mm or a U-Turn fork (you may invalidate warranty or could snap your frame if you go much over the 100mm)

    Reba if you can afford it, if not Tora 318.
