uscgflorida Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 What are the advantages to long travel? Is it needed for trails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThE_BaNsHeE_mAn88 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 i have heard that theres not much of a difference but just extra travel. but its not needed for trail riding. but i mean that is cheap for a long travel kit. but on the trails you could go with a standard travel a arms. but hey are you in the coast guard?

Washburn Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 That Laegers package is only +2 wide not forward the +1 forward comes in handy in the long trails. Im not even sure Laeger makes foward A Arms anymore Ill check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
