New project, mini DH bike.. lightly used 2017 Glory Advanced frame on the way earmarked for a 180mm 36 single crown build.
Possibly short shocking it too from 9.5×3.0 coil to a well priced 230×70 vivid air shock but that’s still just a thought that needs more consideration with BB height as 1/2″ off the i2i is potentially significant.
Anyway, I’d like to make up a little of the 11-17mm lost A2C height from a boxxer/40 and it looks like 10mm is easy with the Reversecomponents bottom race spacer. More polished would be a wolftooth lower cup extender or a Niner slacker puck. +10mm/+15mm respectively sp presumably 0.5/0.75deg slacker.
I figured as I’d put a new headset in so that got me thinking that if I used an EC56 headset, I’d be adding 10ish mm compared to a zs56 lower cup anyway.
Perhaps a canecreek angleset gives the most flexibility though
Then what about a reach adjust headset?. Works do the EC44/EC56 that gives +/- 5mm reach, but they don’t reference any head angle changes it brings.
If a 10mm spacer is good for a 0.5deg adjustment, then why wouldn’t works say that their reach adjust headset also gives ~0.5deg ?
I always overthink things.. but I’m not missing something with an EC56 slackening the fork compared to ZS56 am I?
