El Cristoff Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hi, This is my t-pro, and I was wondering if the spacers on the headset should be there? I've looked at everyone else’s mod bikes and they all don't have spacers on them. Will it improve the bikes performance if I chop them off?my t-proCheers in advanceChris.

Ben Cox Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 with those forks those spacers are worthwhile, the forks are so short without the spacers you will be dragging your knuckles along your tyreBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 All it means is that your front end is higher thats all. I used to have something similar, then I got a new stem and had to put all the spacers above the stem (before I tapped the star nut down and chopped the steer tube)Don't worry about it, it does look a little weird, but if you like it then who cares? You could always try it a little lower but like i said if you prefer a high front end then leave it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoNnY__Mc Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 forking hell look at those bad boys... :|...only messing they look quite funky... its worth trying your bike with different set ups, i dont ride mod so dont really have much idea... but that stem looks quite high rise so it may well ride nicely if you take a few spacers out those frames ride nicely with a monty bar and stem... or a zoo bar and stem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Gawd damn, they short forks lolYou should try getting some echo team forks (the older ones...[can pick them up fairly cheap]) i can guarantee, your bike will ride really nice... the front end will be higher, you wont need any spacers... and it will feel nicer on the back wheel also...

Fixed Pants™ Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 im pretty sure its to compensate the longer steerer tube, not because theyre too shortsorry for shit typing, my kb is broken and im using an osk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
