fork question

drovers40

Hi there, just bought a white demo Orange 2010 p7 s that was review on bike radar. My question is about the fork, which is an upgrade to what would have come with the bike, a recon 351. Where ever I search on the web for a recon 351 it states a 140mm, but in their specs it states 85 to 130 mm, and in the bike radar review it states 130mm..... what is this fork, 130 or 140?
Sorry if its obvious but this is my first bike since being a nipper, a raleigh grifter for any old timers out there, just confused .....
Cheers in advanced.

When you say visible, do you mean from bottom to top of the whole fork? Don't know how to upload image....[/img]

The need to do a search for the rock shox recon 351 u turn[/u] that goes from 80 to 130 its a pretty good fork

Then it's 140mm, and Solo Air I guess.

If it's U-turn there would be travel gradients on the fork leg, and a U-turn knob, but probably that's not yours.

think this should work, the fork does say solo air.[/img]

Yep 140mm if the stanchions are that high.
The same was available at CRC few weeks ago.

Decent bike btw. 8)

Cheers, first bike since being a young un, been out a few times on tarmac routes, should be doing a few trails this weekend.
This was the review bike on this site, and it's the only 's' that was assembled over here and painted white.
