Hi Im am thinking of removing the spacers between the frame and the top bracket on my forks on my giant glory 11 as i have notice a lot of people doing it and was wondering how would it effect the feel of the bike?
Are you talking about the dust cap on the headset? it is a pretty tall piece. If you remove it you will have to add more spacers above your crown assuming you slam your crown down further. Basically slamming the front end more is going to give u a lower front end which will make it easier to corner but it will also put more weight over the front end. This will also make it not as comfortable when it gets super steep. So there is a trade off and totally depends on your riding style and the terrain you ride. Can always take it off to experiment with bar height and figure out what works best for you.
Couple photos after I got the 1.5 degree CC angleset installed, as well as a new chain and 2.7 DHF up front. Waiting to hear back from Point 1 to get the podium pedals also.
Boxxer internals are getting replaced since the compression settings change nothing. Not sure what happened there.
