Yeah, it really sucks how all those headsets are the same size and they all work in all my frames. Silly standards.

ISCG is incredibly useful, manufacturers have to learn to follow design blueprints. There is absolutely no reason to require special guides for different bikes. (GT and Giant come to mind). It is incredibly limiting for guide choices.beaverbiker said:
who said anything about headsets? so a 1.5 headset works with a 1.125 frame and vice versa?Jeremy R said:
Except if you buy the Giant or whatever it is. You know, the one that decided it needed 2 headset cups just for sh1ts and giggles.Jeremy R said:
id rather have my chainguide rotate a little and absorb the large amount of energy. otherwise it'll brake the tabs off the frame or worse, that energy will go into other parts of the frame or even my body.Transcend said:
We are talking about STANDARDS.beaverbiker said:
There is a HEADSET STANDARD.
Is that enough or will a pie chart help?
Actually I did use a regular headset in my 1.5 frame with some $5 reducer cups. No problem.
I wish they were more standards actually,
Like all bolt on stems working on all the major co.'s fork crowns.
Little things that make life easier.
calm down reeee. i was implying "standards" meaning all the ones that are developed by over zealous engineers. not ones that are actually used.

bitter about what?
I really have no idea? Standards and engineers apparently.beaverbiker said:
I totally agree, and so does much of the bicycle industry. Thats why we got together and put together the ISCG05. You can read about it at www.iscg05.com.beaverbiker said:

I don't know about everyone else, but for e.thirteen and I, I spend time to improve every little detail. The end goal is simplicity, adaptability, and function. It takes time and thought to put so much detail into something so simple. The end result is a product that performs exactly as planned and works the same on a wide variety of setups in a wide variety of conditions. Its a constant improvement process, and as the owner of a company, I personally feel that I owe that to our supporters. To each their own, thats just my way of doing it, and it seems to be working OK, so I am going to stick with it.beaverbiker said:

no tacos at this time...they are under development still. If you want to run a Taco, youll have to make your own.Cant Climb said:
......going to have to wait then.....need taco....Acadian said:
Sounds like you need a taco.Cant Climb said:
If you read a few pages back, I explained the deal with the taco.
Has anyone tried using this guide with a Giant DH? I ordered on one and now im thinking i should have just gone with the SRS due to how low the linkage hangs down.
