Hi! gusto ko po sana humingi ng advise sa mga may idea or expert.
WEAKend biker lang po ako, more on roads ako and ang travel ng fork ko is default I think 100mm ata RS TK 30 gold. Gusto ko din sana mag trail, okay lang ba yung travel ng fork or should I go up like 120mm.
Thanks admin.

ganito yan eh, fork travel should be mated to your frame. kung 100mm ang limit ng frame mo, stick to it. although most frames can tolerate a 20mm difference, better stick to what is recommended for your frame.
longer travel does not guarantee a good ride, possible na umangat yung harapan mo kapag paahon, ayaw mong mangyari yun kapag nasa trail.

Dati meron akong Epicon XC 100mm change to 140mm for "Porma" purpose, medyo hirap din ako sa ahon and then may nag pop-up na RS sa fb hahahaha boom tinamaan. Di kasi ako nakapag search before bago ko sya ipataas ng travel, lately nalaman ko din na ang mga Merida frame ay for 100mm fork travel only. now I know Performance over Porma. Thanks Sir anthrax76

pwede pang XC trails yan 100mm fork. just not the most confidence inspiring on super steep descents. but try a shorty stem first
if you want long travel plus climbing ability get a dual-position fork. just turn a knob then compress the fork to turn it into shorter-travel for climbing. for descents switch to long mode

Mali pala ang aking alam Pag DH part na kasi iniisip ko mauuna ako sa bike hahaha I am using a la bici short stem and planning to ups, any advise sa mga short stem na budget friendly. I am considering mp8 pero parang masyado na ata akong yuko since negative form sya.

sa xc races nga sa world cup dati 100mm gamit nila, varied conditions na yun.
if you're scared going down, you probably need to learn some body english.

if your frame is designed for 100mm, stick to 100mm. some go for higher like 120, but i'd stick to what the frame has been designed for.
