hi bros n sifus,
did any1 here familiar with bike geometry? I'm not very familiar with frame geometries, so I just attached pictures for reference. (mine is size M) 
I'd just like to ask if I could install a 120mm (or up to 140mm) travel fork on my bike. would it effect my handling and cause crack to my frame? i was thinking on getting either REBA RL or RECON GOLD RL. is it a huge different in performance wise between solo and dual air?

im using Commencal frame. my current fork travel is only 100mm. was thinking dat since need to change fork, might as well get a decent one. IF i jump ship to FS in near future, atleast i can use back d fork. so with dat frame geometry, is it possible?  This post has been edited by paparock: Nov 22 2011, 02:26 PM |

QUOTE(kaizer @ Nov 22 2011, 02:29 PM) Solo and Dual air. One is with neg air chamber, one is without. Dual will give a more supple small bump compliance. if that the case, which 1 is better buy, REBA RL or RECON GOLD RL ?Added on November 22, 2011, 2:35 pm Hahaha... That's what everybody thinks, until they get to know different wheel axle availability vs stanchion dia vs quality and etc... There's where it get expensip.  Seriously, can or cannot is not for us to say. Unless you found someone that has ridden the exect same frame as yours and did sumbat a 140mm travel fork in it. But then again, that person can only share with you their experience so far, how it rides/climbs/descends and etc. Only the manufacturer/designer can tell you that. But ofcourse, they will say no due to lawsuit possibility.  To be frank, I hate long travel forks. I prefer short travel (100mm or 120mm) with a long A2C. But that's just me.
