Fork Swap Recommendation for Short Folks

Post by HeyItRuns »

Hey guys,

I have an E3 that I just got plated. My suspension is cooked. I hit some new England potholes at 50 and it tried to throw me into the other lane. I think it's time for new suspension, and it seems like it makes more sense to do a front end swap.
Im 5'8" in my boots and I was already planning on dropping this thing an inch. I'm concerned most mx forks are going to be long enough I won't be able to accomplish this.
Does anyone know of any forks that will work with the Amazon conversion bearing that are likely to be about stock length?

Thanks

MX fork travel is generally about an inch more than trail bike forks back then. Just get them shortened 2 inches instead of 1.

Be safe out there.
