[Closed] Liteville or Nicolai

Great info chainline.

Would be so much simpler if they just published the recommended torque for each bolt on each model.

Re: the Nicolai post. I'll post it not Niolai forum too if that helps. I'll also ask Volker if there is a recommended torque for the Helius range and rear axle pivot of Ion. For the Ion the shock and lever bolt torques are all published now. Perhaps I'll do that too.

I could even do some tests on a frame to establish a torque for 6kg load. That might help.

Also I can get hold of tools if anyone needs them as there has been a batch made up.

Volker was also looking at a press type tool as he doesn't like using the hammer.

Chainline,

Really useful info, I'd be interested in knowing torque values if you can get them. Also how do you go about getting tools?

Nicolaisam - any more pics of the 650b? Or a build list and weight?

Any more pics of the Ion 16 would be great too.

Either a 2014 Ion 16 650b or 650b Heilus is leading the way. If only the Ion had 2 travel settings like the Helius....

Oh - I asked Liteville for a geometry chart of a 650b 301 - no response..... Surely the 650b tyres will bugger the normal geometry by raising the bb too much.

@ganic email Richard@gravity-sports.co.uk on the tools front....

Surely it would only raise the BB height by half a inch Rik? Hardly going to bugger it up?

Standard Liteville 301 140mm bb height is 13.5 inch with 26inch - nice
140mm with 650b - 14 inch - getting high
160mm fork and 160mm rear and 650b - 14.5 inch - bloody high

Just an update. I'm still getting used to the Liteville. I've only had a brief ride on wor lasses Nicolai, but it didn't do it for me. The liteville feels much better though still not as good as my old Yeti ASR5c.... yet...

Anyway just washed and ready to go on holiday
