Hi to every sifus here! I'm quite a newbie on biking. Currently looking for a Giant bike with ATX7 frame. Don't really like the front fork performance though... So i wanna change a new/better fork. Due to really tight on budget, i spotted the suntour xcm v3. Would it fit on the ATX7 frame? Which criteria should i look for if i wanna change the front fork? Thanks! =)

maybe you should ask the MTB guys

usually the forks fit most frame as MTB don't usually play with tapered head tube and different top and lower bearing sizes...what fork does it come with??? it might not be worth it if it is only more or less the same with the suntour and you might want to go study more on forks as today's forks is very advanced where you have many things to consider like remote lockout, damping adjustment, separated high speed and low speed damping adjustment, how much travel you need, quick release or axle style dropouts and stuff like that..
The one come with me is the stock fork, which doesnt have adjustment at all, and i saw the suntour has a adjusting cap on its 'shoulder'?
