Can not find any information about setting them up in the manual for my Team DH.

It is clear with BB High/Low position, but what about travel and head angle?
Do anyone have information about this task.

My brother had extra manual about geometry setup with his '05 A-line, but this time there was not any extra manual for his Park Edition too.

Thanks,

But I need geo of my bike with exact shock position.

For example what travel will I have if set shock to Low BB and left position to the link?

Hope explained this right Smile

erm i think that would be the bike in the shorter travel setting, so it should be( but im not sure about this)198 rear travel , but im not 100% sure, get in touch with norco, they should be able to get you an owners manual for this bike, the webpage for the 2008 team dh is http://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/downhill_and_gravity/team_dh.php
hope this helpsBig Grin

Your frame is four way adjustable. For 2008 Norco only seems to mention 2 BB Heights and Two Head Angles. In reality if you want to split hairs and be super precise their are actually 4 of each but some of their relative differences are small that is why Norco has chose to only mention two now. In past years Norco have made mention of all four. Norco only mentions all four travel settings now.

The best for "racing" in general would be 219mm travel setting unless the particular course your are running has abnormally high obstacles then switch to 225mm setting.

Many thanks!

Now it's clear for me with the settings.

I have the 2009 Aline, and would like to switch to the longer travel option.
Are there any particular settings I would need to torque the bolt to after moving the pivot?
Or do I need to use Lock-tite stuff, or any other means of preventing the bolt from loosening?
I cant find any good documentation on the subject :S

I've changed my geometry/travel without using locktite and without any problems.
