Anybody know the bb / axle size for one of these? 73 or 83mm?
mine is 73mm, mate, I have 2006 one though
Yeah that's the one I'm getting. Thanks for your help.
Is it the green one mate?? It is a really nice bike, have you only just got it?
I have 2009 and its 73.
Yeah the green one, have got it YET though....... hopefully next week.
Have heard the head angle is quite steep has anybody slackened theirs off at all? How did you do it?
Yeah it does have quite a steep head angle but it makes up for the frame being abit heavier than other bikes. What sort of kit are you putting on it mate? It works really well with 130mm forks up front.
Ain't got forks for it yet. The only ones I have lying around are some Marz Z1's which have too much travel so either going the try and get my hands on some Fox 32's or some RS Pikes (U turn). Got the Pikes on my hard tail and love them to bits. Also prefer the 20mm axle to the Fox's standard Q/R.
Yeah, I am running fox vanilla 32r on mine with the qr, but am contemplating trying to get hold of some 15qr dropouts. But the 20mm axle is appealing in the however they weigh a bit more. The fox's work really well on the bike.
