Thought about the Kalula? The geo is very similar to the Izimu plus you could run reducer/slacker cups to slacken the head angle if you wanted.

Just wondering if anyone uses angled reducer cups to slacken the head angle??
I think I will order some but not sure wether to go for 64 or 63.
What you guys running?

I don't own one... But I would imagine the 65* HA is pretty damn slack when you are sitting in the recommended 40% of sag. I would try it as is before you went to some angled cups.hey Guys

Ah, the man speaks sense!
I'm running the hope stepdown headset which is flush on the top and external at the bottom. It extends the axle to crown a little to keep it slack but as said already that with 40% sag it's plenty slackhey Guys

as said, the correct sag should be 40% at least; some guys even ride it with 45% sag; with a static HA of 65 you can imagine how slack it will be with the correct sag..... and believe me - it fells really slack
Ok guys, I will take your word for it and keep it at 65, see how I get on!
Cheers!

So Makulu means large woman. Awesome. That means I won't have any re-learning to do once I get mine! I'm experienced riding those!

Thats wrong. Makulu means big. period. My grand fathers nickname to us grand kids was 'Kulu which is short for makulu because he was so tall. Makulu intombi is a big woman in the same way makulu indota is a big man. If anyone out the can read and write zulu, feel free to correct my spelling, I only speak the language, I never learnt to read and write it.
Where you getting yours from? I've been waiting WEEKS for mine to come...
