Dont "need" to change the 100mm forks on my Trance but "want" to (you know the feeling right...) whats anyone else running ?
Cheers 🙂
I had Marz AM1's with the travel adjust, 100-130mm and was running then at about 120mm.
Now have the stock Rebas back on, but have been adjusted out to 115mm using the PeterPoddy travel conversion crib sheet.
426 u turn air revs.
100, 130mm adjustable

flipping the stem over and running no spacers on the Zero stack headset compensates for the STUPID headtube..... just
olly - tells me about it - I want to pick some up 2nd hand off here ,like recons or something adjustable but who else (apart from Trance owners) has forks with 260mm of steerer ????? I swapped my spacers around & still need one that long...its bloody mental.
theotherjonv - havent still got the marz's have you pal ????? 😀
Pikes in the shed on the frame.
cheers atlaz... 🙄
pike here
what year is that one in the pic - that's a massive headtube !
(... must go & have a look at mine)
The one in the pic i'd guess is an 08 like mine.Biggest headtubes the world has ever seen.....as i said,which is why I am having an issue finding a 2nd hand fork with a 260mm steerer !!!!!
shinsplints: no, the TST cartridge went pop and I sold them on here to someone (fully aware) who had a fix for it. Seth_enslow - it just came to me.
130mm Rev 426's...at least that is what I think they are.
Works perfectly and because I am a short-arse with an older model, the head-tube is quite 'normal'.
Spring Recons, 85-130 (on my 05 model Trance). Seems to work pretty nice at all adjustments (although a lot of pedal strike at 85). Mostly I ride it at about 110, turn it up or down for big climbs and descents. The way I figured it these forks were just a slightly heavier version of Rebas? I had to buy new, XL frame needed long steerer!
why the hell do they have such a big headtube ? its mental.Just got wind that I can actually remove an internal spacer in my tora 302 solo air forks to bring them out to 130mm.Anyone done this & how hard is it /easy is it to **** ????
Get some bloody bar end plugs, Olly, before you kebab yourself. And don't say it won't happen, as it will, just like that "pile-up" you thought you'd avoid by setting off ahead of the pack 😉
quiet jimbo :p
it was joes fault for shouting "get off the brakes" as i passed a kicker i would normally compress, and got SENT.
Thats an XL 2008 frame up there, headtube is 7" tall.
in a way i wish i got an L, to get a mere 5.5" headtube, but im 6'5" and the XL is labled as being for "6' and taller" and i think an L would be a smidgen cramped.
looks ridculous but feels fine with the stem upside down and a zero stack headset that recesses the crown a bit!
also not helped by the fat headtube making the forks look weeedy, pikes may have solved that, but 140 would be toooo long i think.
but its all asthetics.
Pace RC41 XCAM 130mm on a 2006 Trance. Just the right length.
