Cube Fritzz with Fox 40 RC2s?

Ruari1967

Hi all,

I ride a Cube Fritzz and have recently found myself doing more and more downhill as opposed to XC riding. I am looking to get a set of Fox 40 RC2s forks, but I am not sure whether these would 'fit' my bike. If anyone could let me know what I should look for or whether the forks would be a good fit, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Ruari

Check with cube whether it is warrantied for a 200mm dual crown fork.

My guess is no.

Why not Nick?

The only people who know for sure are at Cube, ask them.

My last bike was rated for 100mm, but after having a chat with the factory they said I could fit upto a 135mm, so I did and it was a mega win!

You could do it, I don't know for certain what Cube would say in regards to the warrenty - probably a no. It doesnt sound like a big difference in terms of travel but 160 and 200 is alot on a mountain bike.

Besides, it would probably kill the bikes feel. The frame is designed around a 160 fork and the more you tilt the frame back the further away from 'optimal' the bikes rear travel will perform. If you can afford a pair of Fox 40's - buy a proper downhill bike - it will be a better experiance.

Ok the bike come with a travel adjustable fork from 100mm to 160mm so the optimum length with be somewhere in the middle.

and it is not like the rear is adjustable to compensate.

it aint a DH FR bike

also the given head angle is slack enough.
