Why run an 100mm fork AND an internal lower cup?
Er, because I didn't like the high front end & slow steering! Anyway test ride tonight so I might go back one way or the other, but it will stay if I don't have problems with the BB hight.
Cheers.
Brant, I'm still not hearing from you if you think the 100mm fork is a good idea.
OK, hands up, the 100mm may work, the 100mm & internal lower cup may not be the greatest idea. Tonight on a standard XC ride (it's what I do) I had one moment when under full fork compression & turning hard the bike tried to tuck under, it was a bit exceptional as tonight I decided to ride with a shitty AA battery Halfords front light rather than something decent so I saw the turn late & was full on the brakes at the time rather than setting myself for the turn, but shit happens & if you had a similar situation then it could cause an off, I guess I was lucky it didn't. /hands up
Brant, you out there? In addition to your thoughts on a 100mm fork, I was curious what the wheel base is on the Fireline EVO. I don't see that listed on the Planet X site.
Also, FWIW, I did a calculation for a 100mm fork on the Fireline EVO on a geometry calculator and got a static BB height of 12.22in, HA of 68.6, SA of 73.1, ETT 24.38, and the WB decreasing by 0.29in. Those numbers sound pretty good to me. Very similar to the Scott Scale 29 w/ exception of the HA.
Very sadly selling mine due to emigrating 🙁
If anyone interested....
Guys!
any review between titus and yelli sceramy?
would like to hear! riding characteristic? handling? yelli screamy pretty well know for it's superb handling
please don't let me search on this hugeee and loongg thread 😀
These are back on the On-one website this weekend.
Yay! sq23465239592 is back.
You didn't see me right.
Are the reach and stack numbers correct on the On One sizing page? Seems amazingly long and high when measure from bottom bracket?
SIZING QUESTION:
I'm 6' with normal proportions and have been agonizing over what size to get. I have an On One 456C (not EVO) in a size 18" and it is a perfect fit with a 50mm stem and 750mm bars. I also just sold my large Santa Cruz Highball carbon (19.5") with a 70mm stem and 725mm bars that also fit well but was just too stiff and not very playful geometry.
The 18" looks right from a standover perspective but the reach and TT length seems a bit short compared to the 456C and Highball.
Any 6 footers out there on a 20" frame that have any regrets? What about the same on an 18" frame? Interested in some feedback so I can finally just pull the trigger and buy this thing. Thanks!
6ft 2" here and on a 20" frame and all good here. I Used to have an 18" ti456 and agonised similarly.
Your nicely in between so I'd say it'll probably come down to useage. If your more xc mile munching then go a bit bigger. If your more bouncing around then go a bit smaller.
Its a great bike and capable of anything tho whichever way you go.
5' 11" here with long torso/arms and on an 18", running 60mm stem and 711 bars. Great fit for me.
If you're near Derby you're welcome to sling your leg over and see.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm thinking the 18" frame will be a good choice for me.
Danti: thanks for the offer to try the fit on your bike but seeing how I'm in California that might be a bit of a stretch 😀
Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a Fireline Evo, but I intend to ride it with a 470mm Axle to crown rigid fork... will that be ok? Or it's not a good idea?
Is there any way to remove the iscg tabs?
Thank you.
Strange. On-one/planet -X have had stock for a few months.
They have had about 15 frames of different sizes in stock for a few weeks.
suddenly today, every frame is sold out. just like what happened to the codiene...
So they sold all their stock, or is there a problem with the mk 2 frame ?!??
RichT, there's nothing wrong with them, but we have been doing a lot of sale stuff lately so they might have sold through.
Selling my fireline frame. £500 to include Hope headset, spare mech hanger and chainstay protector. See FS forum here on singletrack / pink bike:

When replacing 120mm suspension forks with rigid carbon forks, is 470mm axle crown correct? Thinking Salsa advise 483mm as the loaded 100mm fork length, so a 120mm fork replacement should be more?
Like the On One Carbon Monoocoque fork, but unsure if axle crown is long enough at 470mm.
Anyone else built up the 650b version of this frame? I've just finished building mine up. Rides like a dream come true 🙂
Build is:
Ti fireline evo 650b frame
Rockshox yari 140mm fork
Sram x01 1x11 drivechain
Easton heist wheelset
Sram guide rsc brake set
On one carbon bars
On one 50mm stem
Rockshox reverb dropper

650b version? are you talking about running it 650b+?
Thinking of making mine 650+. Any one done this? Does the bottom bracket end up too low?
No it's actually a 650b made version. Think maybe one of just a few or perhaps unique. Wondered if anyone else had one the same
I bet it was one they made the chainstays too short, so decided to sell as a 650b!!!!
I'm tempted to try mine as a 650+ too - met a guy at QECP NGE last weekend who had done it to his Canfield.
Nice, seen a few done before online with the plus tyres, look pretty mean!
It rides amazing so don't know why they hadn't made more like mine.
Good to hear that! I don't know if you've ridden one, but the 29er version is awesome too. As aggro as my old C456, but with the "rollover" of a 29er and the Ti zing.
Just a quick update for mnutt if he see's this. ❓
He sent an e-mail, asking about sizing, but there seems to be a problem with his e-mail address?
mnutt, can you try again or send a different e-mail address?
Long and short of it is, I'm 5ft9 and riding the 16". Very happy with it, and would probably also have been ok on the 18".
Titus fireline evo owners please step up and give me your honest opinions. Another 'which bike should I buy' post, but it is what it is.
I have to sell my newly built up carbon lovely full susser, need to liberate some funds. So I have decided on a tough and rumble hardtail as my one and only bike for the foreseeable future. The two choices, about the same price.
1. Titus Firemen evo, with revelation forks and gx1 groupset from On one
or
2. Kona Honzo 2016 steel, with fox 34 forks, xtr groupset and mavic crossmax xl wheels.
Both lovely bikes. My riding is a lot of up before ether down, smooth and rough. Long day rides and lots of short single tracks.
Which would you choose, given the spec difference. I am leaning towards the honzo, simply because of the wheels and I think it is a better looking frame :-o) But a titanium frame - finally now within reach - should I ?
First ride on mine yesterday- loved it. My first 29er, it felt very capable and stable. My average speed went up by 2mph (that might be new bike syndrome though!) Looking forward to many more miles on it.
Bookmarking.
Will the current Titus Fireline Evo take 27.5+ rubber?
I haven't read the preceding 975 posts, so please excuse is been discussed!
