Can anyone tell me approx what length brake hose I will need for the front and rear on my large FSR XC? I presume it will be similar on all full sussers with a large frame?
Any help would REALLY be appreciated :D

    more than on a medium?

    I've fitted a set of SLX brakes - the ready made up ones - to my Large Nicolai Helius frame and the rear is about 100mm too long.

    well in that case give more info and maybe people might have a similar set up.

    what fork length and bar width and number (mm) of spacers.

    or just wait untill you can measure your bike to have an idea what you need.
