Pikey Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Those 2 screen captures seems to have the same 'reach' I remembered it differently when I was looking at it. Can't find it anywhere on the interwebs nowyea they are,thought they were different but smokin my socks. Thought I had an older screen capture from when I bought the frame but doesn't look like it. You not thinking of the 120?

Thought I had an older screen capture from when I bought the frame but doesn't look like it. You not thinking of the 120? Nope. Found it I just edited my previous post (on page 7) I remember telling you (when you were interested in my 120) that the M 120 & L Pascoe was only 10mm different in reach.Pascoe's being 10mm longer.

Weird that how come?
DubbelBuys Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 damn mate how the hell did you remember that? Weird that how come? Don't smoke any socks & drink LOTS of BEER!!! Must be the Pascoe's new yellow seat stays
Pikey Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Don't smoke any socks & drink LOTS of BEER!!! Must be the Pascoe's new yellow seat stays Because black makes things look smaller ????...Sounds logical to me ????
TAAHIRWP Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Black fork and its stylin....The meta am which was/is owned by missionS ..now that bike looked amazing.
Pikey Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 The meta am which was/is owned by missionS ..now that bike looked amazing.Ha ha...All mine....awaiting delivery from Zambia ???? Me got plans for that steed ????
Pikey Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Questions for the tech guru's... Can I fit my pike 27.5 on to a meta am and run a 26" wheel. as the mrp stage is 26 or 27.5 ,I know there is a 26 specfic pike. What's the difference barring clearance?

Can I fit my pike 27.5 on to a meta am and run a 26" wheel. as the mrp stage is 26 or 27.5 ,I know there is a 26 specfic pike. What's the difference barring clearance? The Pike has 10mm more travel than the stock fork of the Meta & the difference in the lowers of a 26" & 650B fork should be 12.5mm more or less. That should be a total of about 22.5mm taller on the front. Almost like running a 170mm fork on it. You can get a 150mm spring assembly for the Pike (ebay is the cheapest) Then it should be the same as running a 160mm fork. This will roughly slacken the HA (& seat tube) by 0.5º
TAAHIRWP Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Ha ha...All mine....awaiting delivery from Zambia ???? Me got plans for that steed ????I'm assuming you taking the bike without the upgrades? That beast was equipped hey. He posted in the "ENDURO RIDE" thread a while ago. So awesome!

Do those not reduce the travel?

TAAHIRWP Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 bought it stock. He wanted to keep pike etc?The pike he had on there, was it a 26 inch fork?
Pikey Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 The pike he had on there, was it a 26 inch fork?Good question I just presumed it was.

Do those not reduce the travel? You can ride it as is, but sometimes a longer fork (20+mm) might throw off the geo of the bike just too much to make it a 'spot on' ride. Slam it on there & try it out. You can also measure the axle to crown length of your Pike & compare it to Trailer's MRP. The bottomless tokens doesn't reduce the travel, but just prevents the fork from using full travel.It reduces the air chamber to give a more positive compression ratio.
