What does it mean by "STRONGER,POWERER" Can you clarify that?
I did a test run in Kiara on Saturday and notice that I need to lean my body in front in order to prevent the front wheel off from the ground when riding uphill.
However, downhill is sweet with the extra 20mm and doesn't feel it bottoms out.
The for can be adjusted to 80mm,100mm and 120mm. Thinking of running it for sometimes and see if it is good, else I'll reduce the travel to 100mm.
usually with added length in the fork...
it is harder to climb.
thats why if u can climb with a long form u r "STRONGER,POWERER".
needing to lean front is the other effect. with long fork the weight bias has shifted to the rear, therefore while climbing u'll lose traction on the front.
nothing wrong with it. u just need to get used to it.
most of the riders here climb with a minimum 150mm fork.
