Ibis HD3 "Quicksilver" 8

Sweet setup! Care to elaborate on your headset configuration?... Are you running a neutral Angleset bottom cup to increase A-C height? Or is it an angled bottom cup? Just curious because I’m entertaining thoughts of installing an angled headset on my HD3.

I had a ZS56 lower cup mounted on at first on my small frame. While installing the tapered fork, I realized there was play in the headset. After taking it apart, it appeared the tapered steerer was too long to fit the headtube. Rockshox and Fox changed their tapered standard length but Formula being a smaller brand has not yet. Was putting the bike together friday noght and leaving today, I had to find a quick fix with parts from home. Only way was to put an external cup to raise length of headtube. Problem is EC56 only exists as part of angleset. I had a 0° lower cup laying around from a previous built. Increasing headtube from the bottom also makes the bike a little slacker.
Lots of my friends who are racing on HD3 are using 1° angleset though.
I'll decide when I come back from NZ if I do it too or not.

this bike is a blast!

27lb + 16 oz = 28 lb... nice try. haha

I put it in grams (coming from Euroland) and it automatically converted it to lbs - and ounces apparently.

Bike of the Day March 1, 2015!

Awesome bike!

Thanks Michael!
