You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Hello all, a friend and I have been discussing a fork upgrade for his 2010 Cube Attention. I came across this post on STW which has been helpful. I'm wondering though if there's newer wisdom than in that postgiven that it's a year old.
My friend's budget is circa £250, commonly rides the likes of Bedgebury and Surrey Hills though may venture further afield in time.
Does anybody have suggestions for forks other than the Rebas, or are the Rebas still a good suggestion?
I've not been able to find specifications for the bike anywhere - if there's anyone that can tell me how much travel the frame could take - is 100mm the upper limit? I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
Bump for the afternoon crowd.
I'm also interested as my friend has the exact same question.
100 mm is not the upper limit, I think you can go up to 120 mm without having the bike starting to handle like shit and without stressing the frame. You might however better consider the axle-to-crown length instead of the fork travel.
