Title: Way Big Fork on Large Frame?
Post by: theycallmethefatman on May 26, 2019, 04:10:07 am

Hello,
I messed up and bought a carbon Crosslink that is the extended length version for a way big frame. Questions: If I install the fork on my large 657, how much will the handling be effected by the longer legs? Since it will take about 50mm of spacers to make it work, how dumb will it look on a large frame?
Thanks,
John

i think that the legs themselves are the same length BELOW the lover pivot point as the std version,so the extra length will be as spacers above the had tube .The difference will be the "critical measuremt" between the two versions of the fork.why dont you mock it up to see .To see how it looks you can use anything as spacers
