So I want to try some new forks on my Bontrager Race. The original Switchblades are too flexy for my fat ass. I've tried my old Pace RC35s but didn't think there was enough travel there. Then I broke my RC36s. Got some Project 2s but now my wrists hurt.
Next I got some very modern forks. Marzocchi MX Pros from about 2005. I'm worried they might be a bit much though. I'll try tightening them up tomorrow so I don't have to cut the steerer down yet. It's about 50mm too long. Looking forward to a blast in the sunshine tomorrow afternoon.
Any thoughts? It would be a shame to have ruined the handling, which was spot on.
