I have mine on the middle geo as well. I mesure the BB height and i get 13.5" ! Ill probably get 11" with sag. Im worried for Bromont since the rock gardens are pretty massive. I am thinking about changing the Chip for the 64 deg 14" BB one. Any one tried it and saw the BB go up a little ?

Btw my previous bike died of a down tube dent !!!!!!!

30% sag, Obtained with a 500lbs coil. No choice then to run it a bit stiff and add some compression !

Hmm...next time...don't measure it, ignorance truly is bliss!
Could pick up a CC 1.12" angleset upper, a 1.5" angleset lower to get the HA back and run the high chips...?

The 2011 Tr450 still has the drop in bearing top type headset. Therefore not Angleset compatible. The 2011.5 will be 44mm ZS top cup wich is Angleset compatible ...

As for ignorance id say this.... Never again. My wallet wants to know always Big Grin
