It’s not perfect because the Horst link gets in the way. But I run it as close as possible. Works decent, but not perfect. I’m not racing so don’t need dead perfect shifting

1/7/2025 1:28pm Some clarification. The Titanium is not CNC at all. Still printing those. On the aluminum bike the lugs are CNC. So material cost isnt crazy on that. I think there is another key thing about Athertons. Size range. 12 sizes stock in both carbon and aluminum. This is more than any other frame manufacturer can do, because they only make...

12/17/2024 3:06pm they actually say that CSG (Cannondale) will be handling all CS. I read that as any warranty etc. issues...at least for the time being

10/25/2024 9:05am Ok, so yes, chiming in hee. First to not as has already been pointed out we have a TON of headsets and combos. @ebruner happy to help with yours specifically (or honestly anyone for that matter) but please DM me so we don't clog the thread. General info on chiming in: 1. split races: agreed they are not ideal, and...

10/24/2024 10:59am We make them because the bike companies request them. and actually when you start digging into it, we dopnt make a ton of bearings, just combos with bearings for different uses. and we usually have decent stock for our HS. feel free to reach out to us directly and we can usually sort a bearing that works (many are cross...

Just going to leave this here...Rocky Mountain Bicycles is using the FSA system on the carbon Altitude and Instincts, and our own designed (FSA made) ZS56|66 round headsets for the alloy models. 10mm of reach adjust possible. The headset guts are just standard components: bearings, races, top caps, etc.

10/24/2024 9:00am oh the tolerances are there... it's just holding to them. BB30: 40.96-40.985mm PF30 (and all equivalents) 45.95-46 HT I have as well. only one that isnt consistently called out is BB86 (I am sure Shimano has the frame tolerance but never seen it posted). Its more as has been discussed ad nauseum.... the cost to hold those tolerances would make...

10/24/2024 8:33am oh agreed there are "simple" ways to fix this... then getting then standardized, and correct tolerances around the industry is a different matter... as an industry we can't get a round hole done right... now add a precise pin location to that.....

10/24/2024 8:14am Working for FSA I can 100% confirm that there is NO room in a ZS 56 HT to run a reach adjust for tapered. some for straight. The bigger issue for most users is getting the cups in straight (yes this really is an end user/shop issue that has to be heavily considered having dealt with other systems). The better...

10/24/2024 8:12am FSA has a system called the RAS. not a full +/- 10mm (20mm overall) but about +/-5mm. Being shopped to companies right now with an open design so that it can become a standard. Discussions on angle as well (though gets into a MULTITUDE of cup options if you combo it all). We are trying... just need bike companies to...
