Hi, thanks for your reply. I am also planning to make use of offset bushes. Did you had them made or you just got those from Burgtec? I am planning to have them made....
No i also had mine made, There is a guy here on pinkbike who mades them to order at less than half the price of burgtec ones ( only cost me £20 for top+bottom ) his advert is in the DH/FR frames section. and if i remember correctly his user name is Jezzah. Every one who has bought some has had only good things to say
It is a 1 1/8th headset and i'm using a conventional 'Hope' headset ( not an angle set type ). the two things that have made this head angle are; The short 110mm head tube length meaning i could move the fork lower crown upwards by 10mm. But the biggest mod is the 'off set bushes' in the top and bottom of rear shock letting me use the 222mm x 70mm shock with an i2i length of 216mm.
