This fork puts my HT around 70 degrees with the plus tire. In the second picture you can almost see WWWHQ under the back of my saddle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-85738677156550098092015-05-06T04:18:08.058-07:002015-05-06T04:18:08.058-07:00Great call!

It also is pretty nifty for newer long travel hardtails...my Canfield is built around a 120mm susp. fork, so a rigid + big front tire actually works really well!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798166584105179316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-9389727994978145832015-05-05T21:29:49.819-07:002015-05-05T21:29:49.819-07:00No, this fork is going to bounce around between bi...No, this fork is going to bounce around between bike so it's pretty "generic" 100mm travel 29er geometry (ie 485mm axle-crown, 45mm offset) to maximize flexibility.<br /><br />I think the Blackbuck was built for a shorter fork, so this probably is adding quite a bit of trail with the big tire thrown into the equation as well.Walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156620599767391579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-63749800802729181282015-05-05T18:48:21.008-07:002015-05-05T18:48:21.008-07:00Did you replicate the original geometry for the Bl...Did you replicate the original geometry for the Blackbuck?
