For real. They figured out that shorter offsets were a good idea on the 36, why the hell haven't they fixed that shit? I'm running a 650b wheel in a 26" 40 and I'd STILL like less offset.

speaking of, you ever make any progress on those crowns?

No, been super busy. I might just pick up a set of the Mojo ones and save myself the trouble.

Have you ridden the 27.5 40s? I rode one for a day in whistler and then was on a 27.5 boxxers all day the next day. I liked everything about the fox better but it was twitchy in comparison.

They overshot the mark for sure

are all their offsets stupid? i got a 27.5 36 and the offset is like 3mm longer than my 26" mattoc

They go overboard on the 40s for some reason.

There are a bunch of different offsets for 36s

You can look them up

Yeah. I've said this on here before somewhere, but it felt the most fucked up in medium speed turns, where you're moving a bit but are going slow enough and turning tight enough that you still have to give it some real steering angle too. The feeling kinda fades (some, not entirely) when you're really moving out and aren't really turning the bars much. But yeah, it's dumb. It's like they decided a DH bike with a 62 degree head angle needs the same amount of trail as an XC bike. Which, mission accomplished I guess, but it's totally the wrong thing to aim for.

Check out the outsider bikes clamps.

 

[lobsterCT]

@ englertracing - Just tried to looks those up. Their Site seems not to work. Do you know anyplace selling them?

 

[HAB]

I've seen those. More options are cool, but I like the Mojo implementation a lot better. I've got zero interest in making the offset longer, so the huge range of the Outsider isn't helpful, and it just makes them heavier and not as clean looking. I also couldn't run my preferred stem (Syntace F44) in anything but the most forward position, since the bar clamp sticks down below the mounting plane for the stem.

 

[englertracing]

Im not sure whats up with the site but i paid half what the mojo clamps cost for the outsider clamps

 

[HAB]

Yeah, the Outsider ones are a lot cheaper. I'd need a new stem though too, which eats into the cost savings a bunch, and at that point I'm willing to pay a bit of a premium for the reasons I mentioned earlier.
