    Hey!

    I have a Kona CoilAIR 2007 model I use for freeride and down hill, its a great bike and have done lots of up grades, have been thinking of swaping out the front fork for a triple crown rather the the single crown thats on it. I currently have 6 inches on the back and 6 on the front, I was looking at getting 7/8 inchs on the front with a triple crown, is that ok to run with 6 on the back or does it have to be equal?

    Cheers for the help!

    It's fairly normal to have more travel on the front than the back.
    However some models may become a bit unbalanced with too much travel on the front, especially if it's not an out and out DH rig. I'm sure you'll see plenty of people out there with 8" Boxxers and the like on machines such as yours!
    Try an image search on google.com and you'll see plenty of coilairs and boxxers!
