Anyone know a good alternative to a trialtech sprung tensioner? Need one for the new build but they're out of stock at Tartys and I don't want to pay £50+ to import one from Europe!

Well you're a big lad so something like the Zoo 26 is a decent solid option. As for maguras front and rear not being good enough I'd say with decent pads and a grind they're excellent and will have no problem holding you! One thing though is the geometry will feel a million miles away from the frames of old and take a bit of getting used to!

I did have a 90x35 stem to go on but it was 25.4mm clamp and the only bars I have to hand are some Truvativ Husselfelts from an old 4play I had. Plan is to source some TT high rise bars (I had some but gave them away) and another 90x35 stem. If I like how it rides eventually might go Pro 2 on the rear and some new rims but not desperate. And the ugly comment is off the welcome the frame got when it was first released, did not go down well

It's 95% complete so here's a couple of pics of my Adamant 24. Build is as budget as possible so big thanks to aener, Mikee and Dan Chandler for sorting me out a few bits and especially little yoshi for the wheels/tyres! May be a few changes to be made yet but need to ride it first. Next job is chain + tensioner and possibly brakes but I'm not 100% sure yet

Just got home and I still can't find it

Brings bike build to work to dish rear wheel over and do a few small jobs. Forgets spoke key

Free was the first trials vid I ever saw (home made) which got me back into riding after 7/8 years

Yeah that's the place! Few bits and pieces to play about on.

Not much natural that I know of but the Torrs in New Mills is good for a play about. That's pretty much where I started years ago!

Just don't run one

I've found the Shimano stuff seems to be relatively cheap so people just run them till they break then buy new again, Hope people seem to be in it for life (or quite a while anyway). If I was in for an upgrade I'd be tempted by some Hopes

Pashley for sure, the kinesis ones will be based on replacing suspension forks hence the massive size

What are the forks and frame in question? The +60 BB measurement is based on a certain set of forks so it will depend on the A-C measurement of the forks it was designed for.

By all means, sat doing nothing as I have another set of Tensiles with a 22t screw on sprocket as well

It's actually a combination bashring/spider

No, no and no. Should be pretty obvious that going out riding street or even hitting up the natural spots like Shipley Glen shouldn't be happening.

if I'd known it was for Tensiles I've got a set with a 5 arm spider and bashring fitted sat in my spares box

Nope, that's about it I'm afraid

Glad you said that cause my new 24 got the same length stays

1030, 385, +25, 650 reach I believe

I thought the same!

Cheers Adam, to be honest 10mm will do me. 1055wb on a 24 is a bit long I thought (and I'm pretty sure that's 09 spec Urbans) so anything to pull it back will help!

Has anyone got the difference in offsets of the various years of Urbans? I'm sure between the older model and the newer (2012?) there was 5-10mm difference and I'm after the shortest ideally for my new frame.

....because why not!
