deviate Posted October 28, 2013 Share Or you could do Omega's mate's option - do a custom shock mount. imho that would be the simplest of all, and definitely the cheapest! its an amazing concept , but I don't think it will work with the carbon as it tapers , check the pic, (not my bike) http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/gt/678544d1330752136-2010-gt-force-carbon-expert-what-size-shock-can-i-get-there-pic4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIdn't know yours was the carbon. No place to put the stabilizing bolt. You need the insert to be fixed in 2 places to make a triangular jobbie majig. Won't work there. deviate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted October 28, 2013 Share Headset options will be Cane Creek (they have a kick-ass headset calculator on their site) or Works Components.http://www.workscomponents.co.uk/ Other than that you can consider offset shock hardware from burgtechttp://www.burgtec.co.uk/products/offset-shock-hardware/burgtec-titanium-offset-shock-hardware/ But be careful with different shock mounts, it will alter the stroke and may have a negative impact on how the rear handles. Burgtec only alters HA by .7 to 1 degree so you should be okay. deviate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively all you want to do is reduce the shock's eye to eye as this will drop the bb height and slacken out the HA. BUT! be careful what you wish for... deviate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted October 28, 2013 Share hey flowta , thanks , do you have those links please , thanks!!Headset options will be Cane Creek (they have a kick-ass headset calculator on their site) or Works Components.http://www.workscomponents.co.uk/ Other than that you can consider offset shock hardware from burgtechttp://www.burgtec.c...shock-hardware/ But be careful with different shock mounts, it will alter the stroke and may have a negative impact on how the rear handles. Burgtec only alters HA by .7 to 1 degree so you should be okay. Here's the threadhttp://forums.mtbr.com/gt/gt-sanction-force-reference-thread-452889-34.html The actual posts are in there somewhere. I think Crow's link for the offset bushing are the ones. Also if you want to go 650B, this method will also result in a slacker head angle (the author uses and angleset to steepen the headangle again)http://enduro-mtb.com/en/the-gt-26-650b-conversion/ deviate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
