having pretty much worn out the cartilage in my wrists ( amongst other things) and reducing the amount of full suspension riding ( that bike is getting very old) a friend suggested that perhaps i could revamp my old Hardtail ( cube reaction race carbon fibre approx 2014) this bike has the more basic rockshox Reba forks 100mm travel which in all honesty have not been well looked after.
so the question is would there be an issue changing to something like rockshox 'Pike' forks say 140mm travel or is this as another friend says is going to screw up the geometry? has anyone tried this or similar or have any observations they could share? . i am beginning to think that perhaps i should maybe just buy a newer bike though it seems a shame when the frame is in such good condition. I cant post a picture just yet though it was the black and white one. As you can probably gather my knowledge is not great on these matters so any guidance welcome - would just like to complete 3-4 hours riding without wrapping 'gaffa' tape around my wrists - thanks
