Hasn't voted | On the DH, wanders on the climbs. Steering is more vague but also a smoother ride | | Posted Apr 4, 2012 10:11 am |

Voted 10/10 | Interesting. How did you do that, you just bought a 29' fork and install it ? Isn't the frame position a bit "nose up" ? | | Posted Apr 5, 2012 5:39 am |
| ferday | Not a big change | |
Hasn't voted | I already have plenty of 29er parts so no cost to me LOL
The bike normally runs a 130mm fork, the 29er fork is 100mm and the height difference at the front end is minimal | | Posted Apr 5, 2012 12:53 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Interesting for someone who mostly rides downhill and doesn't want to invest into an extra 29' bike... | | Posted Apr 5, 2012 1:23 pm |

it helps to have a few bikes so you can always experiment with one and ride the other! | | Posted Apr 5, 2012 5:14 pm |
