got some 2011 36x160s on the way,,, got them for peanuts from china.

will be plugged into a 2011 orange 5 frame and (eventually) a carbon456.

question is,,,, (sorry if im being a bit numb hear),,,,, if i dont like the 160mm and reduce with the available spacers ,,, will this reduce the crown to axle height (headangle) or just the travel and leave the crown to axle AND the head angle the same length ,,,,,,,,,,,, I.E not drop the front.

nice-1 for any replies, kev.

Dont think you can reduce travel on Vans like you can Floats.

If they were Floats they would be made shorter c to a. But I fear that Simon is correct about Vans. Mate of mine actually shortened the spring to reduce the travel on his, so not impossible.
