A couple of other possible variables to consider for this change-out (I went
from F36 160mm 2010 to 160mm 650b Pike, and -1 Angleset to 0 degree headset):
1) forks have gained tapered steering tubes over this time. As a result I had
to change out my zero stack lower headset cup, to an external cup. So the
effective AC length grew >2cm rather than the 1cm I was expecting
2) I'm no expert on trail/rake so won't attempt to explain what to expect; but
fork offsets have also increased on 650b forks. Potentially you will also feel
a subtle change from this also
Overall the new geometry I got was not as good as what I had before, so I
ended up also getting some offset bushes and this sorted things out for me
fortunately
Last point: Avalanche could also be considered for the old fork?
