I read somewhere a few months back when the M6 first came out and there was issues with the drop outs and making the tire hit the seat, and having a super low bb height. So Intense made new dropouts that changed the Geo, now I also heard you could use these dropouts on a Socom. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this change and what the benifits are. Thanks.

Steeper headangle and higher BB, so for the Socom, NO benifits!

Ya that makes sense now that I think about it a little more. Make the Socom a little more XCish.
Thanks man

if the new m6 drop outs will work on the m6 then the old ones will probably work as well. This would effectively lower your bb and slacken the ht angle.

Nope, the original dropouts on the M6 where the 150mm dropouts used on the Uzzi VPX, Socom, SS and M3, so it will not change anything
