    Interesting...

    Spesh told me only increase the front end by 10mm, so im running my Sektors at 130mm, but when i had my old Scott frame, they said i could increase by 20mm.

    How long have you been running 140mm up front ?

    Yeah! thats what the told me as well. The frame is design for 120mm , but it rides better on 140 in my opinion so I chose to ignore them! I've been running mine for couple of months but one of my mate has been running the same set up on 09 FSR XC for over a year with no problem.

    I ride 130mm on my FSR XC - would prefer 140 actually, anything to move that bottom bracket up a little!

    v tempting

    My Sektors are aftermarket, so go up to 150mm (not that id use that)

    They are due a service (and some new RCT dampers) in the next couple of weeks, so i may take one of the spacers out
