  1. defintiely more chain wrap needed, can you not take a link out then use the tensioner to push upwards?
  2. one of the best mods to ride, awesome spec as well....just need some better front pads
  3. nitro'd and polished i think you'll find
  4. shorter stem = shorter feel to bike, although harder to lift front end due to less leverage...... er, shorter bars should help you pull it up; and a higher front end always helps, more stem stackers, higher rise stem, higher rise bars etc
  5. 27" wide, but fine if you extend them, or like short bars
  6. holy shit that looks lethal
  7. what rim do you nee, probably be able to furnish you with a wheel or rim for the ride oh, and if you do come; bring that stem please
  8. still; frame won't effect that...its the bb that mine touches; even if its out of the bike
  9. zona zenith....just touches a tad
  10. there's a place for this thread...chit-chat, you're validated now as well,m so you may as well post in full members
  11. i run a 2 bolt on the back of my zenith ( although the brake area of that is basically a cnc-d lump )and im more than happy with it. Had a 4-bolt on the zoo pitbull, and that was fine also...depends on which booster you go for, and on which frame. I'd say only really flexy frame need a 4 bolt booster, although the use of an aftermarket lever blade (read : longer / more braking force ) may facilitate the need for a stiffer braking area, and therefore booster.
  12. pretty nice frames to ride, but i quote someone off forum ( cant remember who now ) " the fraems obviously been designed by an artist not an engineer"...due to the lack of s-bends int he chainstays and seat stays....partly resulting in a lot of the cracking around this area. So if you do have, it'd be advisable to whack a booster on there to prolong frame life
  13. id say pure as well , far nicer riding frames in my opinion Edit: ride at least one of them...or just generally have a go on other peoples bikes, to try and work out what geo you're looking for in a frame
  14. 219 bars are damn strong, although look a but in my opinion
  15. it's pretty much a case of what tarty say's go's
  16. sounds like all the pawls have destroyed themselves...hopefully a warranty replacement, if not...time for a new hub
  17. well, if you have tensile cranks you can....but it is just about possible with a tensile FFW and echo cnc cranks,and a bash
  18. seems mighty darn complicated think ill stick with water, although do post up if it is completely successful
  19. 100-120mm stem, mid rise, wide bars but with a fair bit of rise
  20. im eagerly awaiting the "meek - justice"
  21. supposed to be pretty good and strong from what ive heard..same as this though im fairly sure http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_inf...;products_id=31
  22. bigman...your bodges might as well have been factory made....awesome job on the rims as usual
  23. ive got echo cnc cranks, gu bash, truvativ gigapipe dh bb (128) and a tensile FFw....and it still rubs, no way to make it fit. Tensile cranks, or new bb would solve it, but it's sort of groubd itself a little groove in my oh so soft bb shell so all's good.
