IH Sunday w/mar. 66

um, i cant help you on this question, but it seems like you could have combined your two threads into a "IH Sunday w/ mar. 66 or single crown" thread...just a thought
wow, that sounds craptaculer......if your looking for a do everything bike, I don't think "Sunday" should be your first choice. and a sunday witha 6'' sc would have a bb height of like 12''. its a great bike, i really like it, but using it as mostly a freerider/huck/trail bike is totaly overkill, and a waist of a wonderful full on DH frame.
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:
why a 6 inch 66?
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?
how is dw's a conflicting answer?
none of the sundays come with a 66 fork?
which is what the question is asking
If you want single crown there is the new single crown Travis which you can even get in the 200mm which I would think would even be too tall.
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.
I've been running an 06 66rc2x on my Sunday for a month or so and I've got to say I'm digging the ride. I wouldn't go for the 6 inch 66 though. I've got a 13.0" bb height right now, which actually feels pretty good, but I wouldn't want to ride any serious rock gardens or anything.
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?
To each his own though!
Yeah, definitely, I am assuming that we are talking about the 6" model here? 535mm and lower AC height on the 6".OGRipper said:
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!

hmmmm, haven't checked out the marzocchi website lately, have you. ?Jm_ said:

66 RC2X
TRAVEL 150mm or 170mm Travel
ink:
But can't you lower it to 170mm - just remember reading something like that?
dw said:
These numbers seems wrong. Are they for the 2005 66? The look like the numbers for the 2006. Marz's site says 575mm for the 150mm and 595mm for the 170mm.
never understood the whole thing about distributors not bringing in certain models. just look at Maxxis last year with their SRY tires...Jm_ said:
www.wiggle.co.uk also claims to have the 150mm ones in stock. looks like its just a US thing.
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.

when you change cartridges does it change the AC hieght? or just the amount of travel?
Yeah, what he just said...

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:
The 66RC2X also comes in 150 travel in the USA - I bought a pair from Santa Cruz Bicycles and it came 150 - now I want to change it to 170 and according to the bumpf I got from Marzocchi tech support all that is necessary is to change the location of some spacers. The .pdf they sent to me is 800kb so its too big to load here as an attachment.
