How does the HT angle look to you guys? I replaced 170mm Jr T and the A/C is only .5" shorter. Feels very much the same as my old DC.

I have the same set up with a z150 and I love it. It is a little quicker steering and does real nice X-ups.

Hey you can move your shuttle forward to get a slacker HT angle like mine... did you know that?

That uncut steerer tube looks scary. I have seen this more and more: is it cool not to cut your steerer tube or something?

 

[rockcrusher]

Yeah, but I do a lot of technical climbing and trialsy stuff and prefer the steeper angles vs. more DH stability. I have tried it in the slacker position but it was to slow for tech (uphill) stuff. I would love it if I could have both settings for uphills and downhills, you know some quick adjust thing so I could just pop it slack for DH after cleanin' a hard tech climb.

Would you cut your brand new fork right off the bat without finding out what you like for spacer stacks first?

It is cut now.

Not trying to rag on you. I have just seen a few bikes posted with uncut steerers. And yes I test mine out first too...

So what is the axle to crown measurement on the Z150?

Sorry I looked it up it is 538mm.
