Anyone here run 140mm forks on a Soul? I currently have Pace RC40s which run up to 130mm but want to try and slacken the front end up a touch. Just wondering if it was actually pointless ie: does it make it too slack?

cheers

ran them at 120 most of the time, but worked just fine on the DH stuff at 140mm

now got 120mm Reba Teams which are about 1lb lighter

It's tempting... But I gather Cy gets upset if you do it (been eyeballing a set of Pikes or 09 Revs myself)

Is it true the new Soul will built to take 140mm forks?
