as topic...

i tried emailing the guys at this link but they never replied
http://www.readytoridecycles.co.uk/intense-socom--ironhorse-sunday-ha-reducer-cups-172-p.asp

theres no news on the k9 industry cups since march or something

so where can i go? im going to put the cups on a transition blindside with a 120mm headtube...looking for -1.5 or -2 degrees as 65 degree head angle feels horrible on steep + brake heavy trails

thx

RTR always replied to my emails really quickly. That's odd. I got theirs, took about a week for shipping.

i dunno..i sent the email twice...pm'ed the dude advertising the cups in the forum 13 hours ago but still no reply...

im really interested in these cups because i really like my blindside but its a pain in the a$$ to ride on the local trails (comparing to v10s, supreme dh, and the list grows on)

I ran Problem Solvers reducers for over a year and never had a problem. They're heavy, but they're simple and they work.

Azn Devil, very sorry, we have had a bit of a catastrophic problem with our mail-server and havnt actually recieved any e-mails other than order notifications from our website in the last 7 days which as you can imagine is causing a little problem!

Were hoping (and have been promised) things will be sorted by the morning so all e-mails will be responded to asap once we get them though it may take a little while.

Appologies for anyone who has sent an e-mail that has been ignored.

I have replied to your PM (i only log-on infrequently on here im afraid) just let me know what Q's you have and ill help you how i can.

The cups are still available in the fitments advertised.

Thanks, Rick

These look pretty cool. I have a bike with a 130mm head tube. Would they work in my bike? I see the site says +/- 5mm so the -1º would fit but what about the -1.5º fit?


Why is there a max length? Do the cups interlock or something like that?

how flush are these?

Who makes the -2* Headcups?

If you are referring to stack height, mine was reduced by 1.5mm compared to the e13 reducer cups after installing these (the opposite of what I expected due to the angle, a pleasant surprise).

hey udi are you using a set of these cups? do they work for you?

They work great. IIRC the lip thickness is 2.5mm (maybe 2.0mm) vs the 3mm on the e-13 cups. Depenidng on your top crown, you could run w/o a top dust cap and get your total stack height in the range of 10mm. IIRC a great product for less than I could get them made (no anno..I did all the CAD work) here.

They do require a bit more attention to instal than a non-offset cup as you need to align the cup with the line of the frame (and with each other). The cups are marked and the directions include a procedure to get things aligned...no problem if you have the tools and know how to properly instal a headset...just takes a pit more patients.

The 2* cups were/are a K9 industries product IIRC. Like everything they have their name on, they are vaporware. My guess is that you will have a new frame before K9 releases any product to tthe market.

Yeah I've been using them for a while now. My sunday measured at 63.5deg with the new cups, also extending the wheelbase to ~46.05" (+0.25" or so) which I was keen to try. Great product, great price.

Does anyone know if a Cane Creek IS-8 will fit in those reducer cups?
Can't get hold of an IS-2 so just got me an IS-8...

Yes.5

Could I run something like this on my 05 DHR to extend me wheel base some more?

Probably. How long's the headtube?

 

[Spahman]

it's the 1.5" top and bottom

 

[FarkinRyan]

it's the 1.5" top and bottom

Wrong measurement mate He means how long is your headtube top-to-bottom, there are 2 different sets of these to fit different length headtubes and yes, it will lengthen your wheelbase.
