    What does less Fork Rake do for you? 2010 Glory 0 vs 2009 0

    Yeah think that should work nicely, im going to give myself some more sag in the rear and do the front up a bit stiffer, that should work awsome. Geeze new gear can be a bit tricky until you understand it properly,

    And then why the hell do giant bring both the rc4 and the dhx5 with 500lbs springs!? they should have a lighter spring as a base reference for tuning.

    Ah ok thats what i thought and talk about when im talking about rake, but i went on the giant site and the geometry section states head angle and frk rake as two seperate geometries. fork rake looks like its a measurement in mm from the front hub horizontally to where it meets the head angle.

    What does less Fork Rake do for you? 2010 Glory 0 vs 2009 0

    I suppose im more talking about the headangle then the rake of the forks, but the HA has to be less for sure. Yeah i get a feeling in the back like its getting hung up in the first part of the travel heaps more once the dampenning comes in i suppose thats the difference. I think the spring...

    What does less Fork Rake do for you? 2010 Glory 0 vs 2009 0

    Yeah i was thinking that however im 6 foot 5 and weigh 103kg so 2 kg wont make much difference haha. The bike itself is heaps more poppy and easy to get off the ground tho where the old one stuck down a bit better. just when pushing through a succession of rocks it doesn't go over the rocks...

    What does less Fork Rake do for you? 2010 Glory 0 vs 2009 0

    Hey guys just a thread to explain to me why in 2010 the glory has gone to having less rake? What advantages does having less rake do? When riding my 2010 Glory I feel like it wants to put me over the bars heaps more, especially in the rougher rocky stuff. I know the feeling of my old 2009...

    Freeride park building in wodonga

    Fellas, im gunna have to say im leading away from the can. it has some decent natrual features and its span is great for xc, but apart on race days, there is no way to shuttle it, and to be honest, the dirt is sandy crap thats really hard to work with. Wodonga is 5 mins away, and Barrandude 5...
