sirmoun10goat Posted February 2, 2020 Share Do yourself a favour. Take any bike, remove the from wheel and lower the front by 2cm and let it rest on a box/plank/etc , take a step back and have a look for yourself what happened. You will notice the HA is steaper (is more upright) and the BB will be lower being the most obvious changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you will slacken the angles slightly......... Realistically it will 'work', but depending on what you are doing as a whole, the effects will differ. sirmoun10goat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it would help the OP to visualize the impact Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markellis Posted February 2, 2020 Share Do you own a 650b and are considering the Rs1 as an upgrade or do you own an Rs1 and are looking at going 650B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Don't forget that you need a specific hub for the RS1? Another wonderful SRAM idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 2, 2020 Share I have an ibis mojo slrAnd just trying something newOn that bike? No. Fox 34 stepcast would be a better option if you're looking for something light, in my opinion Markellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted February 2, 2020 Share 650b with a marathon fork is the new groudie must have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
