I have a SC carbon nomad with fox 36 ,26'wheels and double barrel. Thinking about getting fox 40s . Would there be any problems with the headtube if i put 40s on it?

where the trails are
why would you want to turn a trail bike into a bike you can't trail ride? :hmm:

I"m sure SC would tell you "no way jose", but that frame doesn't want a 40 anyway.

Isn't this essentially what the Gwinduro, and Richie Rude's DH6c are? Not that that means the headtube won't file for divorce, but it seemed to work pretty not-terrible for Gwin.

I don't particularly see the point other than for park laps in less than stellar parks, but for a very specific set of trails, it should/could/mite work fairly well with a 170mm 40 for when the 36 is too flexy.

how many 40's are you planning to put on your nomad?


maybe if you convert it to 7"? i dont see the point in doing this though

whats wrong with the 36?
