Mattlikesbikes Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Mtb related. I need to reduce the OD of a king headset bottom plate by almost a mm. So the bearing race mounted on the steer tube will clear Lefty clamp for quick removal. Shouldn't take but a few minutes if anyone has a contact, I'd appreciate it.

AntonioGG Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I have a Sherline you're welcome to come use or borrow. I'm a hack so I'd feel nervous about turning your CK plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlikesbikes Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Two hacks make a whole, or something like that. I bet we can figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a booted lefty, due to ease of repair and maintenance. 2010 max 140. For less than the price I was quoted for an oil change on the 1.0, I had this one rebuilt with new bearings, races, air piston, seals, etc and reduced to 110mm. Pretty cool that I go from 90 to 110mm with only a 5mm AC change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you run the same % sag (20%?), then that's effectively no AC change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sag was the major.motivation actually. The lefty likes 25-30%. At 30% I only had two ish inches of travel, now I have three ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
