is that the velvet that goes 26'er and 650b?

 

Reason I ask is that I have a white one like that running in 26'er guise and 140mm travel. As I understand it, you have to add spacers to run the 650b wheels and this reduces travel to 130mm.

 

Just make sure.

 

I image that if they are reducing travel, it would be to reduce the risk of the top of the tyre striking the arch or frame at full compression ..... this could result in a fall similar to your snapped rigid carbon fork experience.

Ragley marley?

errr, that's my getto crown race setting tool. Plumber's pipe . The 'Marley' branding is from the pipe's manufacturer. Go figure.
