hey, i have looked around everywhere, and can't figure out if the glory 8 comes with a 83/150 setup or a 73/135?

anyone know? thanks!

Correct it is the same frame as the 8.8 just different linkage and
a steeper head angle. I got the frame and set it up as a dh rig.
I really like it! If you put an 8in fork it slackins out a little more.
I don't really notice the 66 head angle unless I am on a super steep
section!

yup, i am planning on getting the 08 and tossing my 888works on it to rally DH.

anyone want a sick deal on a 66rc3 1.5 with a headset and stem? just drop me a pm. i'll be looking for wholesale on it.

additionally, is it just a matter of swapping to a longer shock to make it an 8.8? or would i have to buy a linkage too?

pretty sure i heard you just needed a 9.5x3 vs. 8.75x2.75

What fork are you running?

What is the BB height? Can you also list the tires on the bike when you take the measurement.

Thanks!
