Walleee Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Take a link or two out of your chain and reposition the Tensioner so it's pushing the chain upwards. Works, (and IMO...) looks better that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theone2be Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Haven't got a weight yet, I just finished building it like 10mins before i put it on pinkbike. Any way if it does turn out to be heavy its ok I was a dirt jumper and 26" street rider before trials so i'm used to chucking round not the lightest of rigs. Not bothering with a grind on the rims because the rims are next to be replaced. Onza hog with a hope XC on the front, Onza ronnie dont know what hub yet on the back. (new wheels will help weight, i think im going to become obsessed with weight now I think some carbon bars are in order soon ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theone2be Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Ok I just weighed it. So (voice like a boxing introducer)"Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and Girls making his way to the ring weighing in at 27.9lbs my bike"Any way its weighs 27.9lbs, sorry i had to do the boxing thing, it was too hard to resist, well looking at other stock weights its not bad.

wilky_mod_legend2 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 HiNice bike, looks good to start on, theres a few things i would change mind you, i would deffo say get a grind and a nice pair of pads, also take a link or 2 out of you chain keep it looking tidy.You might also wish to think about changing to a v-brake on the front, it looks nicer and the bikes i have been on works better as well.Looks good iam sure i will see you at some of the local rides.Have funGood luckWilky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
