@elmoneighties: I didn't say there was defo a spacer under the crown, just that that seems to be implied by the fact they list the fork as longer even thought it is the same according to Fox. I now think that a spacer is unlikely, but I still can't explain where the different fork length on the geo chart comes from. That alone is almost enough to shift the head angle 0.5 (assuming some rounding error), but then of course the other numbers should change then also.

@fabio77: I got a similar response. Odd if they changed the mould for such a small shift (or maybe it is easier than I think if production is in house?). I also didn’t see a spacer on the blue paper (and that would also change the reach and other details) but it is odd that this frame is listed with a longer fork length without explanation.

@ohio: The geo chart also shows a 4mm longer fork - which I assume entails a spacer under the headtube, since there is no a-c change between the 23 and 24 fox 38. So, if it is not a different frame (which I guess it could be since I think Orbea build everything in house), then I would guess it is a 4 mm fork spacer and a new yoke to bring the bb back down and keep the rest roughly the same... although I would guess that should change the stack and reach a little. If anyone has answers on this please say! I have a 22 Rallon and would love to be able to add a spacer, change the yoke, and remove a spacer in the shock to get these geo changes.
