Still at 100, believe it or not. The fence background makes it look a little slacker than it really is.
The measurements don't quite match the spec- at 80 mm travel on paper I was going to have very little stand over clearance, yet at 100 mm there's still enough.
I've only ridden it once, but so far it's been remarkable- composed and responsive without being twitchy or sluggish. Front end stiffness and steering is impeccable.
You should take it for a spin, but only if you're ready to order one for yourself.
The tapered steerer requires the lower race to be external, which moves the stack height up another 8 mm. I opted for the standard steerer so I could run the full internal 44 mil standard headset. With a regular QR dropout and it's been solid so far.
Looks great, and laid back, fork still set @ 100?
ReplyDeleteWhat does the BB measure out to?

And I'll measure out the bb height for you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like some of my "issues" are solved.
ReplyDeleteI really want one...
....1X9, niner carbon tapered fork.....

ReplyDeleteI've made some updates to the build. The saddle is now a Bontrager RXL Evoke 148, and the handlebar is Bontrager RXL carbon low riser.
ReplyDeleteOn other bikes I've run the Ergon GX1's, but I thought I'd try the GA1's on this rig. So far I'm pretty happy with them.
