Quick - - someone UNinstall Paint from his computer!

For some reason there wasn't a paint program on my computer, and getting the original MSPaint wasn't exactly easy.

Hey look...I changed the head angle.:rolleyes:

One last try and then I'm out of this one.
All I've been trying to say is that if you take a 6" head tube and a 5 1/2" area between the clamps to fit it into, you can alter the head angle SLIGHTLY by playing with that 1/2" difference either up or down when deciding where to make your cut. That's it. That's the whole point, That has always been the whole point on my end. There is that little bit of area that you can "play" to manipulate the head angle one way or another. It's really very basic. There is also this from the frame builders section: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=280093 I asked and got an answer And yes gastro, I know what assuming does. lol |

So what's going to be the final outcome, ap? If you want, I've got a lefty that'll fit for sure - - Salsa might not crazy about the fact that it has the accessory righty to it too:

Ya, back on the first page.
It was only the principal in that there is that slight head angle change that can be manipulated. Operative word being slight. Last I checked though, there are a ton of bike catalogs out there that list their head angles down to the 10th of a degree, and there is that slight difference. That was it though. That it can be manipulated by the amount being cut out depending on where you cut. We are only talking about 1/2" at the very most, probably closer to 1/4 if they are lucky. The reason I even posted at all about it was for in case the bike in question has an overly slow or an overly quick head angle, that problem can be compounded or rectified just a little. Again, very slightly being the operative words. I figured though that since they are looking at cutting it any way, then why not try to kill 2 birds with 1 stone as the saying goes. |
holy robocop! |

I believe we've sufficiantly killed this one. I'm having a shot of Houssongs tonight after my ride now. Too bad you're not near here as I'd gladly share as a peece offering |

:beer: I'd like to thank you all for the lively discussion; this is one little problem I will not be dealing with again. |
