What did you do to get the BB that low?
Please let me know because I would love to do the same.


Thanks......

Dropped the Crowns down .5" to .75" on the Fox 40. Changed out spring and that is were the BB height was when I measured it. It also changed the HT angel to 65 degrees where I wanted it. Didn't do too much. I did drop the bar ride height down over 2". This made the bike feel way better than the stock ride height.

 

[scottishmark]

Same problem....different approach??

I let someone else take the hit on depreciation on the frame. I've stuck some Minions on it, a softer spring, some new grips and i have no idea what it weighs - the only thing i intend to do to the bike is ride it into the ground (roll on Ft.William opening weekend)!! Just as nature intended

apologies for overly large photo

 

[bizutch]

never apologize for size. Ron Jeremy didn't.

So you mean that you changed the spring on the shock to lower the BB & slacken the HT angle, & slid the crowns down on the staintions .25 of a inch?

Thanks for the help

I really don't think changing the spring helped it drop any. Now sliding the crowns down did help.

 

[Rover Nick]

So lowering the the crowns slackened it AND dropped the BB? How much did the BB drop?

 

[Jeremy R]

Think about that one.

 

[kidwoo]

^He put the front wheel on a fetus to lower the crowns so it DID get slacker.

Slackened it more no, but got it to 65 degrees yes. I think it was more slack when I got it.

Anyone notice that the Glory's glory hole is not centered in the downtube? The whole rear suspension assembly is assymetrical! I didn't realize until I ripped my DHX out to get it Pushed.

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

haha glory hole. my friend has a sticker that says that on his glory and some whiteout around the hole.

Giant Glory is the best bike I have ever ridden. Enjoy

So what are you guys running for rear shock setup. I'm around 6ft 180lbs on a 17" frame. I'm running the stock spring, with no propedal, volume adjuster so I can just see the second grey line and about 100 psi in the chamber.

Curious to see how other people are running theirs. (also boxxer wc with 145 psi)

yo...you bringing yourself to Sugar Mtn? If so, make plans to either hit Windrock before or after bro.

Im probably not going to make it out there this year

 

[f0ggy]

Yo, Im thinking about getting a glory because theres a good priced one on PB, its a size small 16.5" do you think thats going to be too small for me? Im your size at 5'11". Im super short on dough so im just tryin to scope out any good deals I can. What were your old wheels on there?

Thanks

f0ggy

I would tell you, but i've no idea! 0 propedal and volume adjuster in the same place as yours (had to adjust that up from zero at ft.bill) but haven't got a shock pump yet!
Anyone know the sort of PSI a 140lb skinny boy should start with?

Cheers, Mark

 

[FCLinder]

I am 175ish have a 450Ti spring and have the Bottom Out all the way in with 145psi in it. The bike is butter!!!!!

 

[scottishmark]

could do with a little more monkey Glory advice i think.

Basically the Xt mech i'm running rattles like hell!! Are Sram X7/9s that much quieter?

Cheers,

Mark

 

[k9handler]

Wow I am really starting to like the look of the Glory, at first I thought it was so so.

 

[Lollapalooza]

I just rode a Glory the other day. I didn't really notice the weight because it pedaled so well. The bike I rode absolutely ripped. I know what I'm getting next year (when they supposedly drop the frame weight two pounds).

Edit: That bike is really sick. I really like the Outlaws. They fit in perfectly.

 

[Laaz]

Slackened it more no, but got it to 65 degrees yes. I think it was more slack when I got it.

How could it be slacker, if the original HA is 65,5?

 

[paranoid56]

how do you know what shock spring weight to use on your bike?
I have been trying to figure that out on my faith 2

[yuroshek]

hey guys, just wait till the 08's come out in a few weeks. i already have mine on order. they said i should get it in august. its so sick.... u will see.

 

[Nagaredama]

I just read the through the 08 catalog.

Glory DH isn't much different except for the blue ano 729's.

Glory 0 comes with a 66RC3 and ROCO TST, looks really good.

 

[FCLinder]

Well when you take away 2 1/2 inch spacers and a 1/4 spacer it drops the top crown down. That will push the fork out a little more and make it slacker. I measured mine to be at 65d. Stock it was 66d.

 

[Laaz]

ohhhhh, i thougt you droped both crowns...

He is right, I will try to scan some pictures from the catalog. Also you can buy the glory frame set for 08. I dont have the pricing on it yet. All glory frames will be availible in late september, so I imagine thats when the completes will be availible.. Ohh yeah there is also two models of the glory 0, I cant remember then name of the other one but its silver with a pink 8 on the tt.

 

[Laaz]

Yust for info:
Large Glory frame with fox dhx and a steel spring weighs 13.448 lbs (6.1 kg)

[chappers66]

sweet awesome bike

 

[nh dude]

how much are you slacking these out ?
ive got about a half inch of tube through the upper crown which is right on top of the headset.
any shock adjustment reccomendations air pressure reccomendations. i just got a 06 with a 4.0 on it so no chamber adjustment.

all i have to say is those stock bars raceface evolve dh are the only bars ive ever bent but i did hit a tree . bike is so much nicer with 27" bars.

I had 1/4 spacer in the middle of the headset and top crown and a 1/8 spacer in the middle of the top crown and the stem. The stantions were out about 1/2 inch over the top crown. I was running Easton EA70 low rise DH bars. The head angle was dead set on 65d.
