-2* for the sunday is a bit excessive... unless you live at champery.

Yeah, I was thinking +-2 for any bike is a bit OTT, most people will be looking for a 1deg change at most I would have thought.

If a little is good, more is better, right? I soooo want a 60° HA, 12.5" BB, 900 mm handlebar width, 8" travel downhill bike. I would be the hippest kid on the block, yeah! :busted: ;)

Depends on how you like it.
Would the 2 degree insert not make it awesome at flat out speeds but at slower speeds/technical stuff would suffer?

the bb height would drop substantially too i would expect
Don't think so. The cups shouldn't change BB height much. The wheelbase would grow quite a bit in the slacker position.

I think the 2* jump makes sense. A lot of riders tend to have the fork height set to either extreme, slammed or jacked. This way they can combine the two adjustments to find a happy medium. Besides, those older Socoms had 90* H/A's....
 
Seems like you should be able to use these kits on just about any bike with a 1.5" headtube, you would just have to do the math to see what effect each would have with your perspective headtube length.
Could probably mix or match them two on different bikes to get a wider variety of change.
Unless this would lead to the bearings not lining up properly?

Either way, Really Cool Product!:thumb:

they need these for demo 7s that would give you a 63 or 64 head angle and would be dope to race to
