Fork, Frame combo, need help.
On previous threads i wrote about what frame i bought, 04 Jamis Dakar XLT1.0, Im gonna get an LX build Kit from pricepoint. My dilema is the fork, The stock fork for the frame i have is a manitou minute 1.0 100-130mm travel with spv damping. Do i have to get a fork with the same travel? Does the fork have to have spv damping to compliment the rear shock which does have spv also? Does the headset matter? What fork do you guys think i should get whith the setup i am getting above?

Headset? Do you mean if it's compatible with a certain fork?
