Basically the bolts allow you to loosen the headtube to change an insert inside the headtube. Depending on which insert you use the headangle can be changed between 69 and 71 degrees

Same system Scott's use as well I think. Would I be correct in assuming it makes flared tubes a lot more manageable?

Oops, i just checked Dirt and i think hes talking about the hardtail on page 73 (issue 56), not his downhill bike, which would make sense.

Glad someone bought up the Gracia bikes in the new Dirt. Can anyone tell me what is going on with the rear deurallier on his manual photo on page 78? Is it a photo capture issue, or some crazy new thing bolted to the back? When you look at the picture, (hopefully,) you'll see what I mean.

Thats not crazy at all, its the back of a sram rear mech, its the bit that guides the cable round at the back behind the mouning bolt. In this pic its the little black bit on the left.
