63mm to 100mm forks?

mudsucker

Hi,

My cousin in law has just text me to say he has just bought some RS dart 1 forks for £10 on ebay and has asked me to fit them. He has a Diamondback Overdrive with sr suntour 63m travel forks.

He knows very little about forks and i think just bought them as they were cheap and better than what he has. i know puttting longer travel forks on a bike could damage the frame and/or make a right mess of the handling but would 63mm to 100mm be ok?

Thanks,

Ben

It should be ok - though isn't much better than what is on there already.

Thanks for the reply sonic. Not sure why he bought them really. As you say, not a massive improvement!
