Noleen Elite on another frame
« on: December 13, 2009, 11:20:52 am »
I have a Noleen Elite that I love and I recently got a new frame that is set up for a 100mm travel fork.

Can I put my Noleen on this frame, or will there be to much of an effect on the handeling of the bike?

The fork that came with the bike is an RST Gilla that SUCKS!

you have to bear in mind that the Noleen will only fit head tubes of a certain height (I forget what the dimensions are) - although most bikes should be OK. Also the Noleens are around 80mm and therefore if used on a bike designed for 100mm might cause the steering to be a bit twitchy.

That is what I was afraid of :(

I am good on the height, so that is not an issue.

Is there a way to adjust for the difference?
