should i put a dorado DH on my 05v10? i heard someone said that it has a short A to C (axle to crown) and that will steepen the head angle alot...i noe i have talked about this in the mtbr forum but i want some other opinions

thanks

The V10 is pretty slack due to quite some sack on the rear shock, so I do not see a problem with a short fork. Also, the performance of the Dorado is top $ !

yay, its a great fork for the bike, i have been running a 7" dorado on my 05 and have loved it, i have also had a wb 2.0(8") and havent noticed a huge change in the bikes handling. plus if your getting a blue ano v10 your fork will match it wonderfully, haha

Hey, honestly, if you want a Dorado DH, get one and report back how it rides. As you know i ordered my 888 Works and i'm very anxious to try it out on my V10.

No it's not built yet. My 888 should come in today or tomorrow and then all i need is a rear wheel.
