98 Klein Attitude forks - how long can I go ??

[Foofighter]

Greetings retro bikers, I have been riding my 98 from new and pretty soon upgraded the Judys to SID race ('00 forks - colour matches the bike !). They give 63mm of travel. I have started to ride a lot more singletrack recently and the SIDs can't keep up. Any advice on what I could run instead that would have more travel but wouldn't mess up the handling ? Cheers FF

I would have thought that 80mm - 85mm travel in a modern fork package shouldn't harm the handling too much.

The Reba fork can be travel adjusted to 85mm.

I agree, if you can stretch to fox forks they come with adjustable travel to cope with all setups too......

Thanks - all I need to do now is to find a lightweight-ish fork that can still take Vs. Cheers FF

Both Fox 80's & Rebas can be had with v mounts
