Ahh, I would buy a hub, £40 for a Pro 2, not much to get it built if you can’t do it yourself.

oh well, I’m happy with what I’ve ordered, thanks anyway, your a good’un!

flow – no further response then?

As long as your happy mate, thats all that matters.

Sorry Al, not today mate, not feeling too good TBH.

Oh well, looks like your original position falls on its face then.

Shame

Whatever you say almighty one.

Have to remember as well that the flex in a 32 at 140 will be a fair few more tenths of a percent greater than the flex in a 36 lowered to 140, thus increasing the gap between both ride height and perceived bike handling. 😉

That would be correct, except I was talking about the angles, not suspension performance. You can tell the difference in geometry riding down the road 😉

So was I… the flex and its resultant angleset style geometry makeover will be apparent in much of its miniscule glory the moment the bike is loaded; the suspension performance is more a product of springs, damping and whatnot.

Steerer length and stem placement surely also contribute more to effective weight distribution and difference in ride feel more than a minute geometry change.

You’re forgetting about offsets too 😉

Aargh, my mind 😀

Stiffness isn’t performance? Think about that a bit more.

Correct, same stem and steerer length though.

Edit: I am properly bored of this thread now

why on earth would you put lowered 36’s on a bike and ride down a road?

ohh and how the trail from different heights tyres in conjuntion with the offsets 😆 sorry I’ll go back to work now 😀
