Currently running the Scandal with Carbon rigids but looking to move to a more modern geometry 29er with 130mm forks. Can't afford frame and forks at the same time, so thinking of new forks first.
Will the Scandal cope alright with 130mm forks?

Yep, fine, went from 120, 130 and 140, all road ace.

Wish i'd kept it.

Hold on, no, you'll need a new bike, yeah, definitely won't work. I'll take it off your hand, doing you a favour i am.

Might make the BB a bit high, they were designed for 80-100mm.

^ that. High BB has horrible characteristics.

Can't you slackset it?
