What's the travel of the fork you want to replace? If it's 100 mm it definitely sounds like you've got too little sag.[/QUOTE]

It's a 100mm travel Suntour SR. I can't tell you if my sag is correct, wouldn't have a clue what's right. I have the preload set so that the shocks compress roughly 3/4" when I climb aboard. Actually, the preload adjustment didn't seem to make a significant difference in how much they compressed. They don't lock out, either.

I had the wifey do the measurement while I was astride. My original assumption was that this Axle to crown was all I really needed to find a replacement. My second assumption was that that length would yield geometry similar to what exists now. I really don't want to change things around, as the bike is very comfy and my position seems balanced. I would have seemingly a ridiculous amount of tire and fender clearance under the crown assembly. I worry selecting a fork even 25mm shorter will put me back into saddle level questions and worse: twitchy handling.
