    Check warranty with your dealer. You won't screw the handling up.

    would have been good to have given that info at the start :wink:

    up to 140mm.

    all 2005 FSR stumpies came with forks upto 130mm travel (most were adjustable) but they were 120mm rear travel.

    the 100mm was the Comp Women's which i would not go much over the 100 as supplied.

    oops probably is 120mm rear :S i just read somewhere online it was 100 front and back :?

    i know its got 100 front (theres a little '100mm' sticker) :wink:

    its not the ladies definitely

    iv been looking at the manitou minute 130mm they look like a good fork and good reviews

    sorry for all the questions as usual im still learning
