66rc2x on a TransAM; Is this a horrible idea?

certainly would change things up, though some folks using 160mm anyway.

Though if you "generalize" and for sake of argument you estimate each inch of travel to be approx a deg of head angle change, the 2006 RC2X (I assume you have the 170mm version), the head angle would change from from the posted I think 68.5 deg head angle at 518mm fork (which I assume means static/unsagged measurement) to then about 67 deg [68.5 - (555mm AC - 518mm AC) / 25.4 ]

However, if you then estimate using this estimated 67 deg static head angle that you will run the 170mm fork using about 25% sag, that would put you in a "riding" head angle of about 68.7 deg which doesnt sound bad to me for such a bike

Flip,

That's only 10mm taller than my TA with the Lyrik. You can pedal mine around in that setup to see what you think. I don't think the extra 10mm would be that noticeable.

That said, I do leave my fork in the 140-145mm mode most of the time, but there are a few guys running 36 floats on them without issue.
