Does this fork have better small-bump compliance than an air fork? I'm looking for maximum comfort. I read that air forks have more stiction.

We're sorry this is a standard one. We currently don't have the one you required. Thank you.

this is not a zero stack headset and does not come with spacers. Have no idea what kind of fork, bike stem you have so I don't know if it will work. You may want to try your LBS.

Hey Will, just wondering if you bought this bike and successfully put 32's on the bike? I just saw my friends tires and 23's are way too skinny! Not to mention I'd bet you'd feel EVERY piece of dirt. I'd like to know before I commit.

I replaced the original RockShox Indy XC with 63mm travel from my 1997 Specialized Rockhopper A1-FS Comp. It dropped the front maybe by 1/2 inch which I didnt really notice in use. Nice ride but you feel the bigger bumps. I'm happy with it. Certainly looks sharp.

The least expensive fork for 650b that rockshox makes for the specs you have is the RockShox 30 Gold Fork, 27.5", 100mm, Solo Air, 9mm QR, TurnKey, Crown Mounted Adjust, Diffusion Black mpn: 00.4018.630.000. It's a bit more expensive with a retail of $355 but it's not nearly as expensive as a Pike.

This fork in stock fork would not be set up perfectly for a rider of that weight. Most coil forks come factory with springs for a rider weight of about 170lbs. If you purchase this fork I would recommend purchasing the RockShox XC30 Spring Internals, Top Cap, and Adjuster Knob Kit, 26", 100mm, X-Firm Black mpn: 11.4015.538.050 so that you would have the proper tuning spring in the fork. You could also consider a Solo Air fork which uses an air spring rather than a coil spring. In an air fork you can adjust the air pressure to accommodate for different rider weights.

Nut set is too big for most brakets. I tap-screwed them to the brakets. Get a set of brakets that fits your forks.

I've had no problems. The foot pedals are a little bigger than my recumbent bike. I really like that. In fact I haven't found anything I don't like about the bike.

You will need a Thru-Axle adapter to accommodate your fork. These are available in a variety of sizes, the most common being 15mm and 20mm.

Hi Carl. I don't know the answer to that. Perhaps you can go to their website and get that information. I can tell you it lowered my bike 2 inches and the ride is great. They have heavy duty springs so that when I ride two up the ride is smooth and firm not soggy. One up ride is firm like a sport bike feel, a little performance oriented. The bike handles much better. No spongy flex in corners. Hope this helps.

Mine was the older V brakes, the disc brake model had just come out mine was old stock. Sorry no idea on the forks that's too technical for me lol

The Dimension 700C Hybrid Fork worked great on the 7300, I believe it would do well on the 7200 as well if you are looking to replace the suspension fork. The clearance should be the same. If you're not used to working on headsets, I would have a bike mechanic do it.

I had lower brazons and tried to use the u bolts on the front fork of a Marin bike with disc brakes and big tubed fork. I got it to work but not as intended to. At best I could carry light loads, but nothing I would feel safe touring with.

On the first try, I accidentally had the fork turned around backwards. Make sure it's facing the right direction (look at the decals). That was the only problem I had. Hope this works for you!

I rode motorcycles for years and owned a dealership. I'd recommend the short "L" shaped piece for good air chuck access.. You will want to have the wheel re-balanced, because the valve extension probably weighs an ounce or more - far too much weight, and that would shake the bike at mid- to high speeds unless you rebalance.BV

I had to take my foot and pull the fork's apart about 1 inch. then it fitted perfect. have a man with good might do it for yeah. When they manufactured it, i think this was a check they didn't do. simple fix workout ok for me. I put my feet on the the inner part of the fork and pulled the opposite end with my hands, that bended/ opened the forks enough to fit the tire. Bike forks perfectly fine.
