29er / What headset do I need for the 098 frame?

« on: February 01, 2016, 05:46:46 AM »

Hi guys
I bought a 098 frame at E-Bay. In accordance to item description, the frame was supposed to arrive with a headset included but my frame arrived without the headset. $:-\$
I guess I'll have to buy a headset but I'm not sure what kind of headset do I need. The seller is currently away until February 17, so I can't contact him right now and I don't want to wait two weeks to begin building my bike, as long as I have most of parts already.
My 098 frame is a tapered 1 1/8 1 1/2 frame and I have a Pike RCT3 tapered 1 1/8 1 1/2 fork but I just need to be sure what kind of headset to buy because there are lots of options.

Thanks in advance.

29er / Using a 51mm offset fork in a 098 frame (46mm offset)

Hi guys
I have bough a 098 frame (still waiting to arrive).
I would like to go for a Pike RCT3 fork with 46 mm offset (in the frame's description and frames diagrams there is a 46mm offset in the fork) but I can't find that fork in 46mm offset. I can only find 51mm offset forks.
Does the 51mm offset fork compromises the frame's safety or does it add some risk to the frame?
I have read the differences between a 51mm fork vs 46 mm fork and I know the effect the 5mm difference over the bike's trail and bike's handling, but I don't know if it is safe to mount a 51mm offset fork in a frame apparently designed for a 46 mm offset fork.
