Headtube angle question

[TomK]

what size bolts do you use so your bars are further forward. I know dylan kasson does this but i dont know who else. I am just wondering what size bolts to use. i know a pointless thread but i want to try this out.

i use a 3/8th bottom, 3/8th back. 1/4th in front

 

[TomK]

you have to drill out the hole in the bottam so it will fit a 3/8 bolt right

5/16 bottom.

5/16 inside.

3/8 behind.

yeah i drill out the bottom hole in the foldy and headtube

 

[scooterkris]

why would u do that? do you break the bottom bolt so you need a thicker one or somethin? if u break the bottom bolt get a 8mm high tensile 12.9 bolt with the 6mm allen hole in the bolt instead of a hex end. they are the strongest bolts you can get.

useless pointless post but i DO NOT like straight up bars.

^^ if the bars are actually 90Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?º then it's dumb, but steeper than usual is better, at least in my professional opinion.

For sure.

If you can use the same bolts all around that's one less tool you have to carry, and the bigger bolts probably clamp better.
