I'm building an On-One Gimp mainly for urban/dirtjumping. How big of a fork should I get for it? 80-130mm or someting along those lines? Maybe even rigid? What should I do? I don't know about rigid because I'm a newbie to djing so I'm not smooth. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
Tony

I'm pretty sure the Gimp is designed for 130mm, but you can always drop a Marzocchi if you want faster handling.

Agreed. Guess ppl are just too eager to get rid of all these excess DJ forks. I also agree with HTFR on 100mm, but the actual axle to crown length is more important imo. 100mm is generally the best for street/djing, but I prefer 80mm, because I am pretty much exclusively riding street.
