I wonder if anyone in the Transition forum has posted about a crud guard already? I could fashion one out of tape (two pieces of black duct tape adhered to one another, with the ends stuck to the frame) easily enough but it would look really janky. A section of inner tube glued down could work too but it would still look rough. I'll have to think about what other materials I can use.
The upper link opens up on compression and closes on extension so I picture it acting like a nutcracker. Removing the pivot bolts then sliding a section of inner tube over it would cover it but it would look shi**y and probably be unnecessary. I’ve been ogling my bike since I got it and this is what I get for ruminating too much haha
Good to hear, just placed an order as well.
What degree did you go with?
Yeah, 1.5° will bring in the front center and wheelbase quite a bit. I waffled between 1° and 1.5° for a while but settled on 1° based on what I was trying to achieve from my previous bike's Geo. As you say though they're not terribly expensive and moving forward you would only need the top cup If you were to change to 1° or even go back to stock you could still leave in the lower cup which is cool. Furthermore there's a large shoulder on the upper cup so it's really easy to remove.
Yeah, Works or bust. The Cane Creek angleset should be named the Cane Creak.
As far as I can tell, Works is the only company to offer a ZS56/ZS56 angle adjust headset. Which is odd, since the 1.5" straight headtube in theory makes the whole thing easier. Do CC or WT even offer such a beast?
Oh yeah yeah, I didn't even think about that piece. You're right, neither of them offer the ZS56 upper.
I believe DH bikes have the straight head tube (at least my Intense does).
Thank you.
