Thread: Making the switch to an '10 Boxxer. Stem/Headest Opinions Needed

Ahh stack height. That's what i was asking about. I have a normal 1.125 king headset in a 1.125 bike, so I don't think I need any reducer. All I need to do is measure the stack height and use that to select a crown height, right? I'm thinking about putting this on an 06 SX trail so it will slack it out quite a bit. Can the race be lowered? I don't want any funny business about going to 178mm though.

Anyone have a ride review of the Boxxer Race. Christmas is almost here. LOL

dirct mount holes are the same across all the boxxers, so the Sunline will work. there are dozens of stems out there. all depends on what you want as far as weight, reach, rise and adjustability. nothing wrong with the cane creek double flush. pretty standard. other option is e.13 reducer cups and an internal headset. get the same result really. and i believe the Blindside uses ISCG-old or regular ISCG tabs (not ISCG-05).

Cane Creek Double XC Flush Headset is great. Super low rise and no problems so far. If the mounts on the crown are the same (which im almost positive they are) sunline is a nice stem, or go with a 26. Not sure about the tabs but a Gamut P30 or P40 would be my recomendation. (In red for your bike). BTW good choice on the race for a intro level fork too. Money savings too

ill let you know how the 2010 boXXer feels after my first ride i just am waiting for my code 5's to come in and i want to get top dollar for the elixirs so i dont want to wear them out
