TAAHIRWP Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Thanx man!The Crossmax ST's are great, even if they are a bit narrow, but they are much stronger than I though they would be and pretty stiff. The fox 34 (150mm) is a vast improvement over the 120mm Reba I had before. Its a 2013 model so the CTD damper does make the fork dive a bit when braking etc, but I don't notice it too much.I'm under correction here, but I think Droo from Stoke suspension mentioned to me some time back that the the 2013 floats are a bit problematic, he mentioned it could be sorted by upgrading/swapping the internals out. Obviously comes at a pretty penny. But hey just thought I would mention so that you are aware there is an option for you out there should the fork feel requires a bit of a tune.

I have not had any major issues yet but I got the fork at such a good deal that spending quite a bit more for new internals does not seem like something I would be willing to do...yet. But it is an option though. Thank you.
TAAHIRWP Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 The Crossmax ST's are great, even if they are a bit narrow, but they are much stronger than I though they would be and pretty stiff. the rims you have sure looks schweet. I noticed there are different versions of the crossmax, SLR, ST and what not. Are the STs 19mm internal width? how do they compare or how do they fit into the mavics 3, 5 7 and 8 series stuffs? price?

the nerd Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Now I can also be cool with a dropping seatpost!
BaltazarMarques Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Saw your bike at Redbarn on Sunday. Looks awesome in these pics and even better in real life. Colour scheme is dope!!
BaltazarMarques Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 You running a FUNN stem on there? I assume your Giant has the overdrive 2 system? I don't know much about it but a friend has just bought a 2013 Trance SL and want to run a shorter stem.

Yip its got the Overdrive system, but the fork has a normal tapered steerer which allows me to run a normal stem on there (FUNN Stryge 60mm). Not sure about the availability of shorter stems for the OD 2 system....

That's the quickest test I reckon.

Internal width is 19mm, so its a bit narrow. Note sure how they compare to the 3,5,7 series rims etc as I have never had experience with those. I got them for a good deal, 2.5k from ASG some time ago.
