Thank You!
My Walt fork is 493mm. It matches my 100mm suspension fork with sag.
Except, I run a 120mm fork now because, as we all know and I failed to account for, forks on hardtails are always significantly more sagged coming down steep trails.
I can imagine that the builder couldn’t get butted blades for a fork that long. Not a big deal? My V2 has straight-gauge blades (and the corresponding hit to weight) in order to have the little fender arch installed. But, I don’t see why a 2cm longer fork would be an issue? With a thru axle and tapered steerer my V2 fork is stiff as…
Hope that’s helpful! Remember your 2.8” Vigi on an i40 will add some height too! (Ha!)
