So I miss my old 03 Enduro sx that I had setup for slalom/dirtjumps/railing berms/play riding on..
I have amassed a large amount of spare parts and am going to turn a 2010 giant trance x into a slalom bike of sorts..I have a 36 float Im going to lower...Id also like to get a shorter length/stroke shock as Id like to shorten the travel and lower the BB...was planning on lowering the fork to 120ish...my problem is the head angle is already 69.5deg with the stock fork (150?)
Giant doesn't list bb heights but my 2010 reign was sky high...does anybody know how much shortening the shock eye to eye changes the geo? The stock shock is 7.125 x 2.125..
Im already going to be steeping the HA quite a bit by lowering the fork over an inch...dont really know what is a good HA # for a slalom bike..the new enduro sx is 68deg...Anybody else done this?...if anybody has any suggestions for a good HA # to shoot for or what stroke shock I should try to find it would be appreciated...
I guess if worse comes to worse I could get an angleset for it...
