Hey man, I always like black. Is it new? What fork is that, the AM1? How does the head angle feel to you with it? I have the E13 reducer cups with a 06 Z1 Light. So I will lose a little height. I am debating whether to go with a 66SL to get a little slacker head angle.Cowboy-jeff said:Testing, testing 123..........
Yeah it's new, about 2 weeks. It's a Medium Satin black and weighs a tad over 32lbs. I've only had a few "real" rides on it untill the weather turned uglyaappling72 said:Hey man, I always like black.

Looks sweet!Cowboy-jeff said:Yeah it's new, about 2 weeks. It's a Medium Satin black and weighs a tad over 32lbs.

The head angle is fine, gone is that twichy feeling my 5.5 had at speed.
Thanks! No problems with the knobs hitting the down tube. I have alot of room to spare. Even with the Cane creek flush the knobs clear.Hanzo90802 said:Looks sweet!
Any problems with the top of the fork knobs hitting the bottom of the down tube like the 5.5?
Hey RonRonnie said:Jeff,
I was just curious. How much was your 5point5 weighing with the same build? I'd like a comparison.
Ronnie.

Can you measure the HD tube angle at all? Im debating what headset to go with, flush reducer cups and IS headset bearings or a headset like yours.
I probably worded that wrong, anyway you can buy a cheap tool at home depo for about 8 bucks or so, just hold it flat on the fork or stanchion (?) tube and it will tell you the degree of the head angle. You can find it in the tool area, its used to find angles for construction I guess like framing.Cowboy-jeff said:Drumstix
How do I measure my head tube angle?I'd like to know what the angle is too. Can you give me some easy instructions to follow and do I need any special tools?
I use a protractor made by General tools, here is the picture:Cowboy-jeff said:Well I searched and searched but I couldn't find a tool to measure the HA of my 6.6. So with the help of my wife I measured it. The technique I used is a bit primitive but seems to be pretty accurate. My wife held a bubble level across the fork and I placed on top of it a triangle that measures angles. The angle came to 68°. Probably not exactly 68° but it's in the ballpark. So there you go.
If anyones knows a better (easy) method to measure the HA, please let me know.![]()
