Hi
I've had a Muirwoods from new, it's the 95 i think in the blue colour with rigid forks. I love the bike but have been suffering on the hard grounds so thought i'd fit some forks with shocks. I've been looking at Marzocchi Bombers and the like on ebay, not really that bothered about more than 100mm travel so should be able to get something pretty cheap but not pogo like. I've got a few questions that have cropped up the more i investigate -
Stem size seems to be 200mm (bottom of headset to top of bar risers)
Will any fork fit, or does it have to be a specific length from axel to top of fork?
Do they all sit at the same angle as obviously this would seriously affect the ride if it steepens or lessens the steering angle.
How do i find out what my steering head offset is? Nothing on the Marin site? Help??
Any recommendations would be greatfully received.
Cheers
