Ryanpmb Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I said crown, not archJust looked at the pictures again - at full compression it seems the arch could run in front of the crown. So where a 26" wheel might not allow the tyre to touch the crown, a 650B might - therefore the need for the spacer... Hairy 1

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Is it not to do with maintaining the head tube angle, although this would be a small margin... Running a 650B would affect the head tube angle - to bring it back to a similar angle as when running 26" you'd need to run a little less travel - thus the ability to space the travel... Just a theory?... Woudl only affect the HA if you're running 650b front & 26 rear... Come now, Ryan. You're slipping! Ryanpmb 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Of course we're happy - and fascinated... Only read good things about this fork btw . Yeah, same. X Fusion hitting the big strides lately. More competition. Love it! Hairy and Ryanpmb 2

Which one in the range are you looking for? Yeah, I bought my Intense's Revelation (RTC3 150mm) from them, thought I had great service untill I realised in July that it was actually a 140mm which they then said they made a 150mm (this was not part of the pre-sale comunications though). I emailed them and said I also measure 149mm on the sanctions (no load) and from there they put me on a path to contact the RS people in Pretoria.........and after a bit more of a story....nothing has been done regarding it.... I wan't a fork for my SS - I will use this bike from time to time for DJ-ing too.(Maybe I should buy an older model Revelation and learn how to do the spacer thing so I can change it myself from 150mm to 120mm or so to test the differences on that bike)

hayleyearth Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 149 mm on the stanchions ?That is a 150 mm. travel fork. As far as I have been told (even by them) that it should measure around 155mm...
Wyatt Earp Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 As far as I have been told (even by them) that it should measure around 155mm... Increase your air pressure as then measure.
