Proper ride hide
I have a Giant hardtail with an 80mm travel fork that I'm looking to
upgrade. In shopping around I've noticed that a lot of the newer forks sport 100+ mm of travel, although there are still some nice 80mm forks still available. I do mostly XC riding and realize that with increased travel, I will be raising the front of the bike to a more chopper like position, which would effect handling. Question: If I bought a longer travel fork(100+), can I adjust the preload so that my ride height would be the similar to 80mm? Is there any drawback to doing this? Or should I just limit my shopping to 80mm forks? -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
