By that he means low...very low. Sundays have low BB's anyway and that's great in many ways but using a shorter single crown would lower it further.wingman24 said:and a sunday witha 6'' sc would have a bb height of like 12''.
That would not be too good. The BB would be super low. Head angle would be around 67.5 or so.rm raider said:Wondering how the bike would be if there was an 6" Mar. 66 . Bike would be used for freeriding, jumps, racing,and some big drops.
Any info would be great.
wingman24 said:wow, conflicting answers in two treads that are basicly the same question, concerning a bike you designed, do you do your own marketing?
the Breakout + has the same AC as a 7 inch boxxer, so it gives a pretty decent head angle at 66 degrees and a 13.75 BB height. Not too bad at all. The 6 inch fork though, thats too much in my opinion..wingman24 said:wow, conflicting answers in two treads that are basicly the same question, concerning a bike you designed, do you do your own marketing?
Yeah, definitely, I am assuming that we are talking about the 6" model here? 535mm and lower AC height on the 6".OGRipper said:It would be helpful to specify which year 66 you are talking about since they changed considerably for this year. An '05 will be taller and have less of an effect.
You can't buy the 6" 06 model. You have to buy the 06 66 SL if you want a 6" 66. Otherwise, they're all 170mm aftermarket.dw said:Yeah, definitely, I am assuming that we are talking about the 6" model here? 535mm and lower AC height on the 6".
On the 05 7" version, the AC height was 555mm. That is similar to the Sherman breakout + and it wouldl ride fine in my opinion. You would have a 66 head angle and 13.75 BB height.
Hope this helps some!

These numbers seems wrong. Are they for the 2005 66? The look like the numbers for the 2006.dw said:Yeah, definitely, I am assuming that we are talking about the 6" model here? 535mm and lower AC height on the 6".

blame US importers then, you can get it in the UK...Jm_ said:Nope, that's not correct because it's including the OEM and aftermarket forks.
You can't buy a 150mm version. I tried already.
No. That was the older 05 66. The new RC2 cartridge won't let you do that anymore.CBJ said:But can't you lower it to 170mm - just remember reading something like that?
I don't trust that site. It looks like a cut-n-paste from the marzocchi description. Once someone has one that they bought aftermarket, I'd believe it.dante said:
never understood the whole thing about distributors not bringing in certain models. just look at Maxxis last year with their SRY tires...Jm_ said:I don't trust that site. It looks like a cut-n-paste from the marzocchi description. Once someone has one that they bought aftermarket, I'd believe it.
Marzocchi IS making the forks, but at least here, we can't get them.
Brian Peterson said:Ok.. Since this train has already jumped off the tracks...
Every distributor chooses models they feel are best suited to their particular market.
New RC2x models can have the travel changed by changing cartridges.

wingman24 said:when you change cartridges does it change the AC hieght? or just the amount of travel?
150mm and 170mm versions are both definetely available here in the UK, I have the distributors stock list in front of me right nowJm_ said:I don't trust that site. It looks like a cut-n-paste from the marzocchi description. Once someone has one that they bought aftermarket, I'd believe it.
