Question adjusting fork lenght

hello all, just got a GT Talera with upgraded front suspension (Zokes BLT, i know not the greatest, but i won't be leaping off cliffs, anyway the exchange rate is killer here in N.Z.) and i'd like to extend the fork lenght...is this possible?

i'm guessing it might be as the rubber covers look abit squished up. if they can be adjusted, anyone know how?

any help is appreciated, thanks!

Unless your fork has a specific upgrade kit available for it (and i doubt it) then there is no way you can extend the length of your fork

your only option is to get a new fork

Bah triathletes!!!

anyone that rides a bike in a bikini needs help!!

as for upgrading your suspension i'd suggest that if you are keen then check out ebay for some of the older marzocchi forks at decent prices
