Hi
Bit of advice needed ... currently have a Zesty TR and want something more burly or possibly swap fork out to improve the front.
So, would changing the fork to a X Fusion trace 140mm mess up the geometry or would i be OK ? Think difference is around 20mm A2C.
Failing that, maybe a codiene 29 is the way forward ??
Thanks
What fork do you have now?
Its the standard RC rev
Is the travel too much at 140mm for the Trace on your frame? If so you could adjust the travel internally I believe? I have them running at 120mm on mine.
Pike is great at 120mm, got one on my 29er.
Zesty frame looks pretty solid but I never rode one, can you feel the rear end flexing or the chassis squirming under you then?
I swapped the Fox 32 ctd 120mm fork fixed to my 29er for x-fusion trace and it made a hardly noticeable change to the geometry but the improvement in terms of stiffness and extra travel was huge.
