Any one have a 29er Codeine and run a 160 fork?
How did you find it?
I've the chance to change frames (Cotic Rocket) or, keep running the Codeine and while upgrading the Pike air shaft change travel from 140 to 160 (or maybe 150).
I'd also likely put a 1.5 degree offset headset in to boot.
Would welcome some feedback from anyone who has run 150/160 fork.
Cheers
I had a 29r Codeine and even though i just had the 140mm Pike in, could imagine it would climb quite badly with a 160mm fork. I had to sit quite far forward on steep climbs as it was. Going down hill though I imagine it would be great as the head angle would be a bit of an improvement.
I had 150mm pike with a -2º works headset , changed the bike for the better up and down .
Make sure you get the right size frame - they come uo small compared to newer bikes .
Cheers guys, may just plumb for the 150 with angle headset.
Had the Codeine for last three years, just have that new bike itch.
