XC forks on a budget

mattyfez

Hi all,

I currently have suntour XCM forks, 80mm I think and have a bit of spare cash.

I was thinking these ones look ok but are 100mm, thoughts or alternative suggestions?

Good fork. Just don't get the poplock version, the crown lock is much better.

Yeh I was thinking to get the crown lock one as it's cheaper and I don't really want to have to strap more stuff to my bars!

2 questions though, with these being 20mm longer travel, will it mess anything up, or is that a small enough difference to compensate with the fork settings?

Also it's a 1.1/8" steerer, is there an easy way to confirm that will fit, not sure how to measure it.

Thanks

Shouldn't cause any problems.
