DownhillingKing Posted January 31, 2010 Share Both off. I don't mean when the forks compressed you know like on the triple tree forks you can adjust how high you want your stansion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted January 31, 2010 Share no matter, but just take the BB Height when your bike is set for you to ride.? on the matter of changing your stanchion height, does it reduce your total stroke available or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillingKing Posted January 31, 2010 Share on my fork you have to measure 203mm and that is the lowest that you can drop. So there has to be 203mm stroke length at all times or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted January 31, 2010 Share so u saying you can have more than 203mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted January 31, 2010 Share nvm.I've got snot for brains this weekend. You cant have more cos the travel is limited by the lowers. the clamps can be moved up and down to accomodate different headtube heights, thats all. oi. that took me long enough you very cryptic murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillingKing Posted January 31, 2010 Share Yes exactlt I can increase my stroke length but the travel stays the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted January 31, 2010 Share hope that tire comes quickly. rear's getting nice and loose. feels very much like i'm riding with a high roller High roller is great, just the transition between the main tread and the edge knobs are discomforting, if there is such a word.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillingKing Posted February 2, 2010 Share Went for a ride on Sat with Jason and wasn't feeling very confident on the bike, hit tokai again on Monday and I felt like that oak on that orange morewoood we saw the other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted February 2, 2010 Share yeah, that's how it goes. you have to ride, every day. no substitute for saddle time. How i wish I could ditch my current job for a year, get a half day job or inherent from a superloaded longlost family member, and just pony up every day.

Diepseun Posted February 2, 2010 Share can any one tell me where the paarl track starts or ends? is it easy to find, and can any one drive up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted February 2, 2010 Share track is two parts: top part called the playground, and the bottom part which is the forest section. The two are separated by the tar round you take to get to the entrance of the Taal Monument area.Once you reach the gate to the taal monument, the start of the track is on your right (there are actually two areas to start your descent into the playground, but the one closest to the boundary wall of the taal monument area is the best one IMO.anyone can go there. it's gratis. Just watch the crossing area between the playground and the start of the forest section. You have to cross that tar round that takes you up to the monument, so beware of cars.Capricorn2010-02-02 07:15:07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
