We Put An 180mm Enduro Fork On An XC Bike! | Why NOT To Over Fork Your Bike

One of the most common questions we receive here at GMBN Tech is people asking if they should run a bigger fork on their bike. Sometimes this is fine, and other times this can be dangerous so we really don't recommend trying this yourself! (Check with the frame manufacture before making any changes as it may void any warranty or in some cases it could increase the chances of snapping a head tube off!)

Rich from ‪@gmbn‬ was our test pilot for this experiment and explains how it feels both climbing and riding downhill 🤘
