Sidewinder. Posted October 23, 2014 Share A shock goes at the back a fork goes at the front. A shock isn't affected by wheel size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABUBI Posted October 23, 2014 Share I used a 26" Lefty works really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted October 23, 2014 Share Which frame is it, and how much travel do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 23, 2014 Share perfect shock would be a lower price tag than you are anticipating?> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted October 23, 2014 Share I have a 26" Fox Talas which works well and soaks up anything and everything!... plenty of travel as I took the spacer out and have the full 140mm travel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunariaan Posted October 23, 2014 Share the new blue 650 Richeymaybe too much travel will make it not such a good climber and we love the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted October 23, 2014 Share That frame's designed around a 100mm fork, so there's not a heap to choose from really. My first choice would be a Fox 32 Factory FIT RLC if you can find one. If it were me I'd get the 120 and try it there first, and if it choppers the frame out too much then you can just pop a spacer in to drop it to 100mm. The 120 stanchions are also a bit thicker than the 100mm version so you'll get a bit more stiffness - whether it'll actually be noticeable is another story.

anthemic Posted October 24, 2014 Share X fusion velvet converted to 650( comes as conversion from factory and have one on my Zula..love it) other option is the xfusion Slant more travel 140mm.....great value for money and easily equivalent to my Rebas' Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunariaan Posted October 24, 2014 Share Will a 140mm not change the angle too much and make it harder to climb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
