Would a Norco Shore 3 2010 work with a Dual crown fork??

[Luke_Donno]

I was thinking of buying a 2nd hand Marz 888 or boxxer and putting it on my norco shore 3 2010. Would this work or would it screw up my geometry?
Would it work if i put a longer shock in the rear? Or would I be better off getting totems or 180mm domains?

it will work, the older shores came with drop off triple and they worked well.

You could also buy a canes creek headset to adjust the geo if required to make it slacker.

Don't mess with the rear. That frame will be fine with whatever 7-8 inch forks.

totems are all most as long axle to crown as most modern duel crowns despite the extra travel so the geo wont change to much tho the ride will be a little more affected with a plusher fork and more sag but if downhill is the aim then it should be a change for the good

thanks guys for the advice, i think i might get a dual crown for that extra bit of travel and strength, plus they look awesome

When you get the new forks chuck a picture up, I have got totems on mine and it rides so well! Here is a picture of mine : http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/6843318/
