I have a VooDoo Wanga - geometry is set up for 100mm front suspension. Will the P2's in 440mm axle to crown length be ok, or too short?

If too short, do you recommend any other fork for around GBP60 of less?

Thanks.

It will only be a tad short.

A Manitou R7 100mm for example is 476mm. But then it's 25mm shorter (451mm) at 25% sag. Under braking etc it will spend much of its time at <440mm. A P2 fork obviously doesn't sag or compress under braking.

Give it a try.

Afaik. 440mm forks are adjusted for 100mm adjusted frames.
It will be just right.
Except if they have the horrible fork crown extender on them - where they'll look a bit ugly but be perfect length. 🙂

I'm hoping they will look like this:

In winter I use P2s with my normally 100mm sus travel inbred, they are lovely.
