So do you fit the longer fork anyway and make do with compromised handling and risk snapping off your frame’s head tube? Or upgrade to a frame that is strong enough and geometrically corrected to run a 125/130mm fork?

The front end is made of Reynolds 520 double butted cro-moly tubing

and the rear is 4130 cro-moly to give that real steel frame feel.

You won’t notice any adverse handling characteristics when climbing and you’ll reap the benefits of the extra travel when descending.
