Hey fellow Glory shredders. Have any of you had leaking problems with the Kage R? My 2014 Glory 2 came with one and recently it's been leaking a little bit. It seems like it dripped oil on the garage floor once or twice and the bottom bracket area was kinda wet. I noticed it stopped within the last few days or so. Just wondering if anyone else had the same problem. I also noticed the shock sounds as if there's sand inside it when it's being compressed. It sounds dry almost but not too much oil leaked out. Thoughts?

mmm mmmm

Maybe you Turn the coil too much went for a ride and over compress it, maybe

Maybe seals are worn, or the oil needs replacing, or you could have blown the shock, you should really bring it to your lbs because if there is a problem, continuing to ride on it will only make the problem worse ....

Either should fit as giant use a taper headtube, though a straight steerer fork is what they used to fit to their complete Glorys (from memory) with a headset reducer . Might make the fork more resalable to get a straight steerer?

+1 great plan! the headset is a 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" head tube (special giant stuff) get a straight 1 1/8" steerer and you're set!

no, the glory has a standard 1 1/8th to 1.5 tapered headtube.

The 1 1/4" bullshit still uses a 1 1/8th headtube just with a different size bearing.

To sum things up:

2010-->2014 Giant Glory:
1-1/2" bottom, 1-1/8" top headtube size.

Over drive 2, is a 1-1/4" steer tube on a fork... When Giant bikes come with this size steer tube, Giant will adjust the headset in the frame to accommodate, not the headtube! There is advantages to this steer tube size, but many fail to see it, simply overlooking the fact that its relatively new in development and adoption from mountain bikers.

If you want to change your fork to a standard 1-1/8" steer tube, all you need to do is pickup some standards headset cups for a tapered headtube... No big deal.

Go flames go!
