[Closed] on-one 456 summer season help

4, 5 or 6 inch forks, hence the name

ahh.....
i wondered where the name came from 😆

They'll be fine, ran 140mm on mine, was just a little light on the front end when climbing.

Shorter the better in my experiance

Designed for 100mm forks. 130mm is going to give you a very slack head angle.

err... no: designed for 4, 5, or 6" inch forks, as per the name, as thepodge has already said.

Yep, 130s will be fine, hubby ran 140s on his and loved it.

cheers people, just ordered it and it should be here on tuesday or thursday

(excited)

another question.....

what size BB does a summer season take?

cheers

I have fitted 120mm Recons on mine......the bumph on On One web site seems to suggest that it was ideal with 120mm, but it is a 456 so is ok up to 140mm i would imagine and 100mm. Personal choice i would say.

I am about to finish mine this week hopefully...woohoo.

thinking about it...

I'm not too sure now. i was thinking of the standard 456. i have a sneaky feeling that the summer season was 100mm. i cant remember, it is on the OO site somewhere but its such a tip you can never find what you want unless you know exactly where it is.

It can take 4,5 or 6' forks, but the whole point of the summer season is to have slack angles without long travel forks. I have adjustable Pikes on mine and it def feels better at 120mm or less imo

I have 130mm fox talas forks on mine, I think you will be happy with it, I've never felt it necessary to drop the forks on climbs. It's fine on switch back climbs etc IMO

summer season was designed to give a nice slack head angle with shorter (100mm ish) forks so they wouldnt dive and squish everywhere. But everyone seems to put 140s on it and have a mega slack beast.

I chose the summer season over the normal 456 as a bit of a gamble because the donor bike had 100mm forks on. I love it.
