Well i finally got time and my lifting setup finished to start working on my XB fork conversion. As i though before i took the frontend apart, to have the XB forks to clamp correctly in my X1 triples, the top of the fork sticks out the top of the triple about 2 inches therefor lowering the bike and not allowing the use of handlebars. If I lower them to make them the same as the X1 location, the lower triple is clamping on a thinner tapered part of the fork. Those with XB forks, does this sound correct? The real way to do this is make a longer stem and lower the bottom triple clamp down about 2 inches. Also, i know i have asked this before and not sure if anyone has tried it... does the XB lower fit an X1 upper? Im going to take them apart and take some measurements. |

ok- i now know for a fact, X1 and XB internals are completely different and are not interchangeable. |
