Axle to Crown Length

Hi,

I'm checking the site below to check comparability and some forks are giving 2 or 3 measurements..... anyone know why?

Depends on the travel they are set at

i didnt think that model was that configurable......? is it better be slightly over/under or just whatever is closer?

.....measured my 100mm RS Silver SL's and came to 185mm with a tape measure..... which seems right inbetween on the 120mm's that I'm looking at :-/

They come with 80, 100, or 120mm of travel, or can be converted to either (except some SIDs are not 120mm able)

it is best to stick with what travel your old frame has, unless you know it can take more.

thanks I think that's where I had got to, a more careful measurement of my current forks at 175mm which stands right with other RS forks.

thanks!

Those numbers don't seem right. What exactly are you measuring? Axle to crown or travel distance?

supersonic

Sounds like you are measuring the steerer?

jerryfudd

measured from the axle to the crown race.
