Brian Fantana Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Had a close look at this frame at Revolution cycles earlier today ..... very very very nice!!!http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/bikes/mountain-bikes/full-suspension/1379693784877-1fbewezo1bjzk-700-80.jpg It looks like an awesome ride. Similar geometry as the Bronson with single pivot simplicity, and as far as I understand, very well priced.

Flowta Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I yell you something.... that Marzo on the front of my bike has transformed the bike completely. She's now a completely different animal. And I like it!!! I don't know if it's the slightly slacker head angle (not a lot at all) or the resulting difference in the trail on the front end, or just the fork making the bike feel so planted... but I just feel as if I'm going soooo much faster, and as if it has a whole WHACK more grip. AFAIK it has a greater offset than the Lyrik and most other forks for that matter. I'll check later where I think I read it and get back to you guys Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

Flowta Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah, from looking at the fork it does seem that way. Lyrik's crown is very flat as well. Ok so the Lyrik has 40mm offset/rake versus 46mm of the 66 FYI some guy put a list together in this threadhttp://forums.mtbr.com/shocks-suspension/standard-rake-offset-suspension-forks-736488.html

Especially with the additional 10mm A2C measurement. I still need to play with the angleset...
Bizkit031 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 That would definitely make a difference. Especially with the additional 10mm A2C measurement. I still need to play with the angleset... Did you install your own angle set.?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Did you install your own angle set.?It's not in yet - I need to get a shim built up as it's for a 44mm bottom cup and I have a 54mm bottom cup. But once that's done (I have someone who can do that - also a hubber) we will just get the lbs next to him to use their headset press to press it all in. But as for normal headsets... yes I install my own.

I had a look at Cane creeks video looks pretty easy to install,so gonna give it a bash. You can make your own headset press with stuff from a hardware store.

Sorry - mine's a 49mm at the bottom but my head tube is 54mm or so. EDIT: And yeah, they are pretty easy to install. You just have to get the orientation of the bottom cup 100% - it's directional, and if it's off by even a degree it will affect the geometry negatively. Edited July 24, 2014 by cpt armpies mayhem

You have a straight steerer,mine is a taper one with 44mm on top. What headset(brand)did you get?
