Probably gonna sound retarded but, what with the 2 on the left hand side the top crown looks wayyyy higher? Why?

Charge262 (Jan 2, 2012 at 9:31)

They are the optional Drop crowns.

JonwithoutaH (Jan 2, 2012 at 9:52)

I see , why would you want/need them? (sorry about all the questions , only got into downhill a month or 2 ago after saving for a dh bike) Big Grin

Charge262 (Jan 2, 2012 at 9:52)

Raises the front end up a bit. Technically it slackens the bike a bit more.

Ahhh right I see, thanks for answering Big Grin

@Charge262: Sorry mate, but it does not slacken the bike a bit (only the lower crown's height affects HTA). It raises your bars if you so choose, but more importantly, some bikes have a long headtube/headset combo that requires the drop crown...

No. It drops the forks lower on the bike. Pushing the front wheel down. This makes the wheelbase longer, effectively slackening the bike.

eddie1170 (Jan 3, 2012 at 9:06)

Only the top crown is increasing in height, the bottom one is the same. So the fork length will remain the same but the bars will be slightly higher. No increased wheelbase of slackening.

couldn't you slide the crown with the steerer tube up and make it so that the top and bottom crown are both flush with the head tube therefore making the bike slacker?

Charge262 (Apr 9, 2012 at 1:10)

That was exactly the point I was making.

p3borick (Apr 9, 2012 at 11:18)

Yeah my friend had his setup like that and it does slacken up the bike

8 more broken boxxers Big Grin

Maybe if you install them wrong, or are a hack...

These are all Blackbox ones, so don't worry, you'll never get to touch one.
