Can I put bigger forks on my bike?

In general, bikes will happily accept forks that are up to 20mm larger than their designers intended. Feel free to go beyond that if you must, but be prepared for a bike that the manufacturer didn’t really intend to create. That doesn’t mean it will suck, but it’s just something to be aware of.

Do all forks fit all bikes?

What is better Fox 38 or Fox 36?

By their measurements, Fox says that the 38 fork is “31% stiffer transverse shear, 17% stiffer fore/aft, and 38% torsionally stiffer than the 36.” All that material does make the fork a fair bit heavier, tipping the scale roughly 300g deeper than the 36 that we tested last season.

What’s the difference between Fox 36 and Fox 38?

Can you increase travel on a FOX fork?

What size is my steerer tube?

Measure your fork steerer tube You need to measure it in two places.

Can I put a 150mm fork on a 120mm bike?

hi dom, you yea can, but that is maybe a bit too much. All things being equal, it will make your bike slacker and raise the bottom bracket. So while you are looking for a bit more travel on the way down, the higher BB does not help with cornering. So it’s a trade-off.
