2014 dorado 74mm post mount adapter needed

What you want for it...I'm curious to see how it performs .always wanted to try one
That era dorado can take a 275 wheel right?
Yup, have a 2014 pro with 27.5 wheel on the girls bike. When working well that fork is still up there with the best today (damper wise, chassis is a bit flexy and heavy). It would just have a tendency to dump all the lower oil randomly over night (has happened three times).
Does the travel need to be reduced? I seem to recall it could run 29 also but in a shorter travel setting.
Wow you have to ace 40mm...
It came on the Evo 27.5 but I would like to know anything to up to a 220 rotor or mods to it or upgrade damper etc...
Get the IRT.
that thing is a noodle. your weight and a 220mm rotor? it will be pretzel shaped by the end of the day...
That's good to know...how do you think it'll handle #240 with a 203 rotor?
Honest opinion!! If it twists up God willing someones videotaping...
I've never ridden the dorado so I can't speak from experience...I don't know wether it's got a rider limit or not within reason...I know I want to run one but also if I should watch for certain things or know certain things ahead of time..

Def flexy. I weight 175 and had to switch. Great damper and air spring tho. Looks better than any other fork too (instagram way more important than real life as we all know). Almost felt turning was delayed at times tho. Put it on the girls bike and she’s happy.
Shity 14yr old is #174...
I'll sell it lol..rebuild it and dump it

that's my biggest gripe with it. i want the front wheel to point wherever my bars are pointing at all times. you wanna ride in chunk? you might as well tie a dog to the front of your bike cause it's going wherever it wants. nothing like having your front wheel in a rut and your bars turned about 10 degrees and nothing is happening...
Looking moto is well worth any performance loss.
I'm 220 it has some give just like a Boxxer. Graeme Pitts rode the Fuck out of that thing when I was shooting him in Santa Cruz. It is smooth, easy to tune but pretty LINEAR. Riding it down Tunnel let's say I never felt the fork had a bunch of give unless I would turn the bars and it would have to ride up on rock you can tell then it has some flex to it.
I saw Pitts overshoot a 40-50 foot "double" by 20 or so feet the fork didn't implode so you should be safe in that regard. The DVO is stiffer BTW. Though heavier and is more adjustable even though it is a bit more complex on initial set up. That could be an option.....
