    Well of course it will cause stress, any/evry fork will! I presume you mean will it overstress the front of the frame?

    No it will almost certainly be just fine unless you are a really big guy and already used up a chunk of the safety margin built into the calculations.

    Don't forget it will also increase front centre length, raise the bars, slacken the head angle and raise the BB height, some or all of which you may not want.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
