That's nice. But you need to provide more info to get an answers. So, yes, no, maybe, frame fail, wreck the handling.0

Whatki nd of info am a newbie but have an idea0

Like which frame it is.
The is more than one M4 frame made by specialised.
M4 was just a material grade.
Rockhopper? Stumpy? And then what year?
If you have no idea post pics."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Sorry about that, its a rockhopper 20110

About 1 degree on everything. But, is the frame in warranty0

Sadly no but can I ask what you mean by 1degree thnx0

It will slacken off all the anges by a degree. Slowing the steering Dow, moving your weight back and making the bike harder to climb."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Specialized will only endorse an extra 10mm at the front (I've checked)
When I had a Scott, they were fine with me putting an extra 20mm on the front, but that was a carbon frame (if that makes a difference)
will it make the bike unsafe ? maybe, maybe not, but you don't want to find out that it does when you are melting it down a hill...
you might get away with it on a meatier frame with more support at the head tube, but the Rockhopper isn't what you would call a "meaty" frame0
