Thanks for the confirmation. The fork’s ordered (2016 Reba RL solo 29), and the bike goes into the LBS on Saturday for the headset gubbins to be sorted.
In 2 weeks i’m off to Surrey Hills to try my new trail orientated / part time long distance race Anthem 29 “SX” 🙂
Just as an observation, when out on the trail in “open” mode last weekend I ignored my race head and let some air out of the shock for more comfort and compliance from 20% to 30% sag – blimey what a handling difference. It only exaggerated the OEM fork though, especially as the back end had been serviced but I didn’t want to waste the cash on the front.
Glad I’ve done this as I’ve invested a bit in the Anthem and its too good to sell of cheaply.
I also stuck an offset bush in the top shock mount which took another half a degree off the head angle and could be something worth trying too.
I’m not up to speed with this, got any info / a link? AFAIK I’ve just slacken my HA to 70 degrees, but a bit more via a small component would be good?
