nigelhicks Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 Given my recent propensity for going over the bars, I think a 65 degree head angle is about spot on.What is the offset of the fork? That will make a huge difference to how the bike handles on that HA. I donno dude. Whats the offset on a Pike RCT3? or RC? ... cus thats it
Nofearnofun Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Have you told the cuzzie at omnico that you are not happy with the service on the can? I only got the shock back on Tuesday and had to work yesterday so besides for a lap around the pool and some trials in the kitchen I haven't tested it since the service. This weekend is a boys, bike and beer road trip weekend so by end of Sunday I will have a better idea of how good/bad it feels. Don't get me wrong with all my bitching, the Jekyll is a lovely bike to ride! But..... It could do with a bit more plushness when taking the bigger hits... I hope it will be better now that the shock isn't 10mm into its sag before I get onto the bike!
Nofearnofun Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I donno dude. Whats the offset on a Pike RCT3? or RC? ... cus thats it Best to check with SC, I know the 2015 Giant Reign uses a different offset to the standard pike to optimise the suspension.
nolipoli Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 What I have read so far is that the normal Pike 27.5 is a 42mm, and Giant managed to get a 46mm offset for the Reign.
