Just bought a new Rockhopper pro. comes stock with 100mm RockShox Recon. Im wanting to Put a 130mm fork on it. will the frame handle the longer fork without any breakage issues?
It would probably be alright but keep in mind that is not what the bike was made to run. If you are doing some gnarly AM riding I could see how the frame could let you down. Depends on what kind of riding you intend on doing.
You could always play with the geometry a little by puting the spacers on the top of the stem when you cut the steerer tube.
