Hey guys, sorry for the bad english.
I've been riding the trek 4900 for a little over a year now and i think it's very nice. :)
But i was just wondering, does it last? for how much? jumping? drop?
Just tell about some experiences...

And what is the rule about setting the front fork? I remember something about 25% ?


Best regards Alexander...:)

It isn't a bad frame for such purposes. :) Though you may want to switch out the fork for something better. There is the RS Tora 302 on cheap, and the Marzocchi MX Pro. :) Safe trails.:)

Ok thanks, for the advice...

Do you know anything about the "rules" about setting the fork?

It should have a good sag level when you are on the saddle. I believe its 15-25 percent sag thats good.
