Axle to crown length

[mfoga]

I am looking to upgrade my fork and doing calculations on how the different forks will change the head angle from what it is now. I have been able to find this for Rock Shox and Marzocchi but can't find this anywhere for Fox. Anyone know where to find them or the lengths for the Fox 36 forks?

Beat me to it...familiar with the land of Turner-dom are you? It makes me proud to be a homer when you see the amount of quality info that my fellow homers have put together in the Turner forum.

Thanks but how about up to date info? The Fox specs are from 2006.

My guess would be that the 06 stuff is the same as 07 and 08. As far as I know it was just internal upgrades between those years, aside from different colors, and the different adjuster for the TALAS system.

Then again, that is only a guess.

Also, if you were curious, the rough change in head angle is about 1* for every 20mm of A-C length. not exact, but it gets you a decent enough estimate

The problem is I am looking at a Talas and the 06 version is 150mm and the new ones are 160mm so I doubt the length is the same.

I am have done the math to get head angle change for the others I am looking at.

This is from that page: 36VAN RC2 (2006) en 160: 545mm

The information on the mtbr link was grabbed from this forum: http://forum.velovert.com/index.php?showtopic=31530

The difference in a2c between the Fox 36 with 150 mm of travel and the newer ones with 160 mm of travel is 10 mm. Simple, eh?

If you want to find out the changes to your geometry, use this calculator: http://lunik.muha.cc/geometryCalc/

I found these a while back and just put them on my server for you to download.
