    but why does it say its sutiable for double crown forks?
    it says in the mbuk review(issue 250) that it can take any length single crown and double crown downhill forks, im very confused now :?

    Remember how old the Stiffee is, Noah did a drop to flat off the ark on one. It's been redesigned since but people used to tool around on them with 150mm junior ts etc. Double crown didn't used to mean 8 inches. Or you could fit E150s I guess.

    Like I say, according to Cove's website it's 150mm or 520mm ride height. It doesn't say "whichever is lowest" so I'm not sure exactly what to make of that, a 180mm Domain sagged 25% will be bang on 520mm axle-to-crown but if you tag a rock at full extension that's a fair bit more leverage. Personally I'd ask Cove but common sense suggest it's whichever's lowest, otherwise there'd be no point in saying "150mm".
