    @ruffrider its pretty steep TBH and it has an internal headset so you can’t slacken it. geo says it can take a 130mm fork though. Its a really nice red.

    Little tip for people wanting 26″ wheels is to search for the hub you want. I had a search on eBay for DT Swiss 240, and ended up with some DT XR1450 wheels (240 hubs, 28 aero bladed, 1450g the pair). 90 quid I think they were. Getting an adapter for 15mm front axle was 30 quid on its own! They are definitely “race” wheels and are narrow as, but 2.1″ tyres will happily go on and I have a sizable amount of NOS 26″ rubber now… 😉

    Loads of Hope pro2 hubs around too. Built into a wheel they are loads cheaper than just the hubs!

    I’ll put the iPhone on it later and measure the angle.

    Thanks! #1 spawns’ Trek has hideous single wall rims on it; I’d wondered about getting some better ones so shall have a look.

    it is 68.6 with 100mm 27.5 forks. if you ran it with 120mm 26 you’d get it a bit slacker.
