I'm looking at buying a 2010 boardman fs, they originally have 120mm travel forks on, the forks I have are bomber 55rs which are 160mm with the spacer removed, is this going to be too big of a difference and end up with a bike that rides like sh1tand snapping the frame ??

    Don't bother.

    Is that because like I said it will run crap and probably snap?

    its not warranted for 160mm forks and the angles will be all wrong. It would ride like a bag of poo.
