Presently my frame is set to 125mm travel to match the 130mm fork, but I was considering changing the fork to something with 150mm and change the frame setting accordingly.

Since my fork is a 2005 model it has a QR axle and new forks come with 15QR probably I will have to change the wheels or at least the front hub. The steer tube will also probably be also limited to 1 1/8”.

Does anyone here have experience with this bike?
What fork do you recommend? I like Fox products but not its price. What is your opinion about X-Fusion forks?
