Varför kommer jag inte överens med min Ibis Mojo HD?

[unluckyPete]

Yes, it's a lot. You can find it for ±120EUR in Germany. They use to have it here https://www.bike-components.de/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=angleset

Steerer type doesn't affect the head angle change. It's affected by the lower cup. Standard version has 1deg offset. You can also buy a kit, which contains all 0.5, 1 and 1.5deg lower cups.

I was thinkning, is there really enough space to change the angle that much, when the steerer is tapered? It cant be much metal between the steerer and the frame? Weaker? Do you understand what I mean? :)

 

[unluckyPete]

I have checked some details, and if I get it right, the tapered version has the offset cup both on top and bottom. Straight steerer ZS version has offset only on the bottom with gimbal bearing on top. You can see the cutout here http://reviews.mtbr.com/cane-creek-angleset-review

Check workscomponents.co.uk. I run one of them and they are great and much easier on the wallet then CC.

Pete: how does 65.5 degrees feel? Cant decide if I should go by 66 degrees or 65.5 degrees.

 

[unluckyPete]

65.5 suits the bike nicely. It took a bit of getting used to the new geometry. Longer wheelbase made the bike more stable, but higher front end and longer wheelbase caused my weight to shift backwards, not having enough weight on the front wheel and washing out in corners. I had to adjust and ride more aggressively. It also forces you to lean the bike instead of steering it.

You also have to consider, that I've changed 2 things at the same time: -1deg angleset and 10 more mm of travel resulting in -1.5 deg change.

Your decision depends on what you expect from it and why you don't like the current geometry in the first place.

 

[Matthias87]

As an ex-downhiller and used to 63-64 degrees, I think it would feel more comfortable.

 

[unluckyPete]

What I meant is, there is probably a reason why you have switched form a DH bike to a "short" bike, so why do you want to change its geometry back to DH angles again:)?

 

[Matthias87]

Off course :) I want to have one very allroundish bike, but I like descending way more then climbing. Also think the bike feels pretty nervous over roots etc.

 

[Matthias87]

Maybe 66 is enough though.

 

[unluckyPete]

I would go with a -1, too. Or get the whole kit, it will be cheaper than getting the separate cup later.

Burgtec har offset bushings till ibis hd, lite billigare och enklare än angle headset

Tack för tipset.
Läst lite om dom och förstått att angleset är att föredra på Mojon.

Om du vill jämföra lite någon dag kan vi provbyta hoj, Jag kör ju en Enduro S-works med pushad fram och bakdämpare som du gärna får jämföra med. Har alltid varit sugen på att jämföra med Mojon... Min går att köra antingen med 26" eller 650b

:-)

Gärna xenonmorf. Du får dra hit hojen till Floda och piska lite på våran AM-bana.

JA, det är minsann inte alls omöjligt... fast nu regnar ju den fina isen bort :-(

Hoppas det fryser på igen snart annars blir det slaskigt!

Elller om allt töar bort och vi får lite vårsol ist :)

jomenvisst... känns troligt... :-)


Skall ni köra i helgen?

 

[Matthias87]

Finns nog chans för det!
