just a quicky has anyone changed to a 130 fork then back to 120 again im finding the front end abit floaty on climbs im running a 130 recon up front with haven low rise bars , 75mm stem +5 with 10mm under the stem wondering if this is to much raise up front?
I'm running 140mm on mine. with a 3mm offset bush on the rear. 70mm zero rise stem with a 20mm rise stem
130mm, offset bush, 50mm zero rise stem and 20mm rise bars. Only wanders when it gets really steep.
I had the forks at 150mm, but it was awful on anything other than downhill.
Mine has a stupidly long head tube, so I need to keep the front fairly low.
my trance x has a 140mm fork on it now but i have got his set up more for fun on the downhills then all round xc,for xc i use a 120 mm hardtail.
i have aquierd a 50mm stem which im going to try and drop to 5mm stack spacing should give abit more control on the downs aswell.
greeble..That's just mighty weird.Are you me.
08 trance x,RTC 3 upgraded pikes,3mm offset bush,70mm thomson stem with 20mm of spacers.Good like that init.. 😉
140mm fork on mine. The bushes are offset too ~ I find if they're in the middle of the trail, they get in the way. 😆
70mm zero rise stem and 720mm 15mm rise bars. Seatpost with plenty of layback. Suits me for all rounds xc/trail. I find it hard to imagine how the bike worked with the original spec 100mm fork and 100 mm stem 😕
whats the deal with the offset bushes never seen this as a mod before? douse it make much diffrence?

you can only run one offset bush due to the lower eyelet of the shock being mounted without any reducers.
you can get a 6x22mm bush with a 3mm offset mounted to the top. It slackens off the headangle a tad and drops the bb slighty.
ah ok may have a dabble with that at some point,out for a ride tonight in a very playish trail so will report back with the 50mm -5 adjustment
Did you remove the large cone spacer from under the stem?
yeah the conical spacers long gone have flat fsa one now
