Three Quick Questions

[Savage_Animal]

Alright, allllmost done with this subruban build, just have like two quick questions and I can order the rest of the parts.

1. I decided to just run two seperate forks, my f100 and a the trailblade 2 20mm. I can switch them out because my hub can go back an forth between 20mm and 9mm. I have the normal 1 1/8 Chris king headset(here: https://www.universalcycles.com/shop...ls.php?id=2432 ).
I am wondering which extera race to get on this page: https://www.universalcycles.com/shop...ls.php?id=2487 is it the middle one?

2. For the f100, would it be stronger to run 3/8 bolt on, Quick Release (which I already have the kit for but not the lever, or this https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=12529

3. Is 1650mm too long of a cable to not cut?



thanks a ton, as soon as I get some answers I an just order up the parts and be done.

get the 3/8 bolt on... i hope its stronger then a 9mm... ive broken 3 within a year

[ThePriceSeliger]

Bolt ons are stronger for sure, but they are 10mm axles and not 9mm.

As for the cable, convert it to inches. My Animal Illegal is 49 or 50 inches and it's a bit short. Anything around 55-60 is more than enough.

Alright, I'll go witht he bolt on
the cable is 64inchs
anyone know what baseplate I should get for my ck headset tho??

[ThePriceSeliger]

You're running a giro? What is the baseplate for?

If you're running a giro, your cable doesn't need to be that long. You will just need to cut it to length.

Yeah they are x 100

Edit: Unless you're running pegs and are not SUPER smooth you WILL bend it.

no

the baseplate (crown, race... whatever you want to call it) comes with the headset and goes onto the bottom part of the steer tube. But ima switch between two forks, so i need an extra baseplate.

I want to know which one will work on this page: http://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=2487

[ThePriceSeliger]

Oh sorry. I missunderstood. I can't help you there, I run integrated.

Mine is roughly that long, I just run it wrapped around my headtube once...I can spin once to the right, and maybe 3-4 times to the left that way.
