On One Whippet 120mm travel question?

xcMuttley

Hi, i am thinking of buying a On One Whippet as a long term "Dream Bike" project it will take a long time for me to get all the money together to get the parts for it but just wanted to ask a question.
I was hoping to get a 120mm travel bike(For xc/trail use, when im better and back to full health) it says its max is that but i dont think ive seen anyone using a fork with that amount of travel wondering if its a good idea or not?
Thanks

It will be fine. Will slacken the angles slightly, and raise the BB a tad, but will work no problems and give you a bit more out front.

Thanks very much, Its the exact answer i wanted to hear will hopefully get the frame soon then
Thanks again

Yep inbreds work with 120mm forks so you should be fine. I'd get forks with adjustable travel just in case you prefer your XC bikes with shorter, 100mm, travel (like me). Many forks do anyway.

Thanks, didnt think about that, a lot of the forks ive been looking at have adjustable travel but it could be a while before i get the fork (Im sure there will be a post called "which fork" in the coming months)
Thanks

Keep an eye out on in the classifieds section when you have the funds.. always a bargain or 2 to be found in there!
