When you crack your frame, dont come running to us.

A 150mm fork is 150mm for a reason. Dont put a long travel fork on a HR just because you want to look cool in front of your friends. Thats just like smoking because of peer pressure. If the type of riding you do requires 6 inches+ travel then the HR is not the frame to be experimenting with.
