Okay I've been contemplating a 29er Hardtail frame with a 73 degree ST angle and a 71.5 degree HT angle.

I'm curious to know what impact/changes might occur to the frame if I were to pair it up with my older, but very nice, White Brothers CX1 suspension fork. This is the 68mm White Brothers fork - perhaps one of the early generation 29er forks.

Does anyone know if the CX1 had a different rake and/or offset than newer White Brothers forks or Rebas? And if so, what are those numbers and how might it impact the handling of a frame with the aforementioned angles? Would it quicken things up a bit by making the HT angle a little steeper? Or would it actually slow things down due to a different offset than what is currently used??

Perhaps some of you CX1 owners or previous owners can chime in here.

Thanks!

I think the CX-1 shares geo. w/ the current crop of .8 forks, Magic or otherwise.

My CX-1 and .8 both were on my Vulture and performed the same.

I'm 95% sure they match in height and rake.

We have to know what the atc is for the fork the frame was designed for. Kinda hard to predict handling traits otherwise.

 

[MMcG]

I'd say the frame was designed around an 80mm fork - either a Reba or White Brothers.

Frame in question is an Astrix Rook by the way.

I thought the frame was a "white one" (i.e. Zion or Inbred) What haapened?

AtoC on a CX1 is 470, AtoC on a WB8 is 480, AtoC on a WB Magic is 475.With the short travel kit you can make a CX1 450.

U must have got a great deal on the Astrix... thats awsome... can't wait to see it out on the trail

haven't ordered anything yet, and in fact, just put my CX1 for sale.
