feetupfun Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I agree with Bo Drinker. One of the best things about my (standard) Godden Majesty is the way the steering works. I would not change it for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not change it for anything. I thought it would be easier and cheaper to change the angle myself, rather than looking for a set of forks from a later bike, which I suppose is going to have exactly the same effect?

michaelmoore Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Changing forks doesn't change the steering head angle. cheers, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest majestyman340 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Changing forks doesn't change the steering head angle.cheers, Michael Not sure on this, but think the later forks are leading axle, and also have different fork yokes, just thought it would be less costly to change the angle by altering the head angle as detailed on here in previous posts, rather than looking for the later forks? What have you found are the main benefits of using modern geometry on the trials frame projects you have been involved with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmoore Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I covered all of those questions from you in various posts over the last week or so. Those answers are still good, and you should be able to search out my posts and find them pretty quickly. That would be a faster answer for you than me typing them over again. cheers, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I dont have that much understanding of all the technical details you have provided, so am mainly interested to hear how bikes you have modified handled before and after you made the changes?

majman Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Finally, well said Woody. I remember my first ride on a Majesty (after riding 3 standard TY's into the ground) and thinking what a bike, handles like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do all the smaller Majesty frames have the same geometry as those intended for the bigger bikes? Saw a very nice Majesty 200 at Fell Green on Sunday, which seemed quite a bit different to by bike.
