Carbon 456 owners pictures and spec

The 18' frame doesn't feel small, I think it's the geo what makes it feel longer, I'm 6ft 3 and anything bigger would feel like moving a 22" 29er around lol.

Personally I would save a little more & keep and eye out for offers at Planet X. I got my frame for just over £250 & if you need a headset you can make use of PlanetX fitting one of their headsets before postage for an extra £10

Decided to try tubeless on my beloved 456. Got some lovely ztr flow wheels and the whole process went really smoothly. It's transformed the ride, just feels so much faster and even lighter. Highly recommended.

When the nights become a little lighter I shall be using my 456 for commuting the 35mile round trip on a night shift, I will be doing approx 14 of my 17miles each way off road (including Wharncliffe Woods) 8)

I ran 120mm for the first year I had my 456 and it was great on road and light trails. Wasn't too bad on the rougher stuff either to be honest.

Does anyone know where I can get a 1,5" crown race for a On One Smoothie Mixer headset, I have at 1 & 1/8 at the moment but i'm buying some new forks. There's no mention of this headset on their site anymore so I guess its discontinued.

I know the bottom bearing is a standard size so would this fit ?

Hope have the fitment guides - I'd start there or contact OnOne

One On got back to me, apparently they are trying to source a new supplier, I doubt this is going to happen any time soon so it looks like I need a new headset.

I'm not sure if you've bought a new headset yet, I found my 1.5" Smoothie Mixer crown race yesterday, drop me a PM if your still after one.

Forgot how many cracking 456's there are in this thread - none more so than mine
