456 summer season w. 100mm fork anyone tried that set up?
I already have the fork, and would like to try a slach headangle..
I am 6.2 and most people would say I should buy a 20” frame, but the toptube difference between a 18 and 20” is very small..
A long seatpost should add more comfort to harsh frame than a shorter.
I actually designed it to use 100mm forks, and have a (for the time) slack headangle.
But then I ended up fitting 140's anyway and it was a hoot.
120mm here and it's perfect
I used to run my old one with 105mm MX Comps and it was a great little bike.
I found the bike inspire me to go harder and faster than the 100mm forks gave me leyway to do
In france it was a hoot with 160 mm forks !!!
Now has 115-140 adjustables as climbing with 160s was impossible without lickin the front tire
Not able to help with the 100m fork issue but I'm your height and had an 18" as I wanted it to be quite chuckable and it was, surprisingly it was perfectly comfortable to ride XC too.
I ran mine with 150mm zocchis and it was great till some scummers nicked it.
My pal ran 100mm forks (and rigids) on his, plus at 6' he ran a 20".
