I am buying a new lightweight hardtail, probably a Seven custom, and I am considering putting on a 5 inch fork, like the 2007 Marzocchi XC600. I figure with the ETA, I have the climbing covered, and 5 inches is more than enough for local descents.
Mostly I am worried about how general xc riding feels. This will be a custom setup so the head angles (I think 70) will be appropriate for 5 inch forks.
I am going to "trail riding", some aggro stuff, and racing possibly. I was wondering if anyone else has a 5 inch fork on their XC hardtail?
