[dan monnin1]

Im thinkig of switiching my pro headtube with my old a i was wondering if it was a better angle of better to ride and what were so advantages with an old a headtube on my pro

 

[Joe Manson]

It has a sligtly different angle, further forward it will last forever. Thats what i ride on my pro and i <3 it

 

[dan monnin1]

i heard somewhere that pro forks dont really fit in them and they wiggle

 

[Joe Manson]

eh?? naa, thats all to do with the headset

^ yh they are near enough the same as pro forks

 

[Steezeman]

You gotta grind down SR forks a little bit if you have them, like a few millimeters.

i was right about to switch to an old a headtube but then i got my xt so yeah

 

[Scott Trainer]

i ride an old a headtube on my pro, but its coz i was lazy and didnt feel like switching the headsets
it feels nice to me though

i used to use an old a head tube currently sitting on my new deck waiting to be built up with parts but ya i like old a tubes a lot better because of the slight angle difference
