Hi... ok, sooo here's my dilema... I have asked around and looked online but seem to get conflicting answers, so I thought I would ask here...
I have a 1996 Rocky Mountain Blizzard that should have a suspension fork with an AC of 428mm
Now, I was thinking of putting a Syncros Powerlite or a Tange Switchblade on, but I have been told that they are too short so the ride will be messed up... fair enough...
I have a factory rigid Rocky Mountain fork off of another Hammer frame so I thought I would try that one...
I tried to measure the AC and... well, here's where I'm confused... I have been told that it's 395mm for the Syncros fork... Is this correct? because, according to my measuring, it comes in at 382... See the pics..
Second question, how long should the AC of a Rigid fork be for it to be ok... i.e. I know that a rigid fork with 428mm AC would be ideal, but that ain't happening =)
So... If I can find one of, say, 400mm, would that work?... I know the only way to know is to try it but It's a hassle to cut threads in it and build it up only to find it's terrible...
I want to know if I'm measuring the SYNCROS one right... then I will use that method to measure the other Rigid Rocky Mountain one to see if it will work...
Thanks!!
