QUOTE(huh? @ Feb 25 2009, 07:38 PM) you can actually, but you have to make a new compression ring for it.. but that route is much more expansive than buying a reducer cup + 1 1/8 headset.. plus.. 1 1/8 is abundant and you have much more broad choice of headsets but i can stil find the compression ring correct? pricier mate? care to shed the light where i cn find them?This post has been edited by iman_210: Feb 25 2009, 11:25 PM |

QUOTE(monkey13 @ Feb 26 2009, 12:33 AM) bro...jus use reducer is enough... uhm..anybody wanting to swap their 2.3 with my 2.5 then...n y do u want to get 2.7 tyres?? dont u think dat will jus b too big and heavy?? a pair of sweet 2ply tyres will do jus nicely... Maxxis Minion DHR 2ply mayB??? FYI,i change my tyres from 2.5 Kenda (front) & 2.3 Highroller (rear) with a pair of Minion DHR 2.3... Added on February 26, 2009, 8:59 am QUOTE(huh? @ Feb 26 2009, 01:15 AM) nope.. you have to MAKE ONE as in custom made..why is it more expansive? cause you basicly have to make 2 sets of things in order to make this setup work..one is a reducer, and one is a compression ring for the headset.. machining parts is not cheap and if you get the dimension wrong, it will actually put yourself on harms way.. guess its not readily available for purchase...hv to make em right?da bomb headset is one example of a headset than can be used for 1.5 and 1 1/8inch steerer tube.. i think kota kemuning has it the last time i went there..take a look at it.. that is how you want your headset setup to be..

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Feb 26 2009, 12:57 PM) You mean 32x16 with 2x4? i think for drop what i would do is maintain a speed i am comfortable, at the end of the drop, slight slant my body backward behind the saddle. On air, i would push the bike down and maintain my stance. Lastly ensure the springing action from my legs when I land on the receiver for comfort.So.. to do drops... basically you mean must be confidence, shut of the brain... switch to think with balls mode instead? : and i bloody hell make sure my footing is planted to my pedal and my hands are securedly fasten at my grip. |

QUOTE(huh? @ Mar 11 2009, 02:08 PM) 1:1 actuation ratio.. less ghost shifting.. and you can sell it second hand to me..lol..hahahaha.. I was watching a video on youtube comparing RD between Shimano and SRAM ..the RD move less when using SRAM as compared to Shimano...but then.. what is the point of changing when you already have a good setup right? I reckon my setup is good but 1:1 actuation is a sweetener indeed.

I havent tested SRAM but looking from the trend...most highend DH bikes comes with SRAM groupo installed.if shimano go to 1:1 like sram then they will have to pay the license fees.
