Exactly - The French have different names for bikes than we 'English speakers' do. Street simply means 'to be used on the street', having thicker tubes to make the frame stronger. Their idea of riding style pretty much remains unchanged... so it's not meant to have 'streety' geometry in the same way we would mean streety.

*confused* ! 315x315 pix

Who? Ali isn't! I'll let him answer the other questions when he's at home cos the spec'll probably change at some point today anyway

Some pics of Ali's prototype Ozonys street frame the XS26. I believe the geo and design will remain unchanged, but the graphics will differ. Also available in anodised brown. Projected retail price £369. Geo with Ali's setup: 1085mm wheelbase, +25mm BB, 382mm chainstays, 680mm reach, 72 degree head angle. Frame weight 2.1kg/4.63lbs, bike weight 9.98kg/22.00lbs. Cheers Adam

Will the carbon ones be going spare? Forks I assume that means, not rocks? hehe

He didn't.

The V!Z forks do seem to be good, Ali and Waddy's are doing fine. The steerer is threaded about 50mm down but can be extended if you like, we have the tap for it, just ask 6 month warranty. Slightly stiffer than the Controls due to the steerer design (wonder who came up with that?) Control forks are also very popular and for good reason, great price, excellent warranty - 6 months, pretty much no questions asked. Ads

Yeah, sorry about that, website is having some issues at the moment... will be back up shortly! Adam Edit: Working now

Geo is 1085, +40, 383, 72 head, 660mm reach. Hope you like! Ads

Click 'Silver, 4-Bolt Disc' from the drop down menu and it shows the price next to the stock level indicator - this is the same on all the sale items where 1 or more of the options are still at full price.

The 20" ones have been pretty reliable actually, I would say 80% are fine. The warranty still applies too.

Nope It's really disappointing. They are listed as 'From £60' because only the Silver Disc Only forks are £60. Add these to the basket and they will show as £60

Yeah, you can't get the Comps in 24" sizes unfortunately... go for the Halos if you can, I've found them better than the DTs (snapped a few Plain Gauge DTs while bedding wheels in before): http://www.billys.co.uk/english/group.php?prod=skha-14g-k http://www.billys.co.uk/english/group.php?prod=skha-14g-ss Edit: Bum, no 241s... erm, not sure what to suggest now. Maybe the DTs? Ads

There shouldn't be... any chance of a pic? I do have one silver V!Z stem here which is a slight anomaly (maybe 3-4mm shorter than the rest) but the others (all the V!Z and Meta) are identical. Cheers Adam

Ok, I've just measured both the stems and they are 170mm (along their length) x 35 degree. Sorry for any confusion, I often take the manufacturer's geo on stems without actually measuring it... Guilty as charged! Have edited the two stems in question now and will measure the others as soon as I get a few spare minutes Adam

A sad day... Craig you dipper.

Yep The V!Z are 20mm longer though. For the tensioner - it does push the wheel over to the left a little, but 1/4 a turn on all your drive side spokes will sort that. Ads

Jon you need to smile more

Twice? As Dave says, Maguras are usually set up with two M6 connectors on the crossover, the braided ones however are not like this.

If you think it may be the ratchet, check the ratchet... and lube it up while you're in there! (Light chain oil)

First contributing factor towards it skipping lol. Will have a hunt for pics now... Edit: Hmm, they all seem to be there for me?

There could be so many things that aren't quite right with the freewheel... are you certain it's been put back together correctly? What lube did you use?

It is true that they are much better backwards than forwards though, both with lock and bite?

Problem 1: That's just how vees work unfortunately. Problem 2: What greases/lubes have you used? Noodle?

Weelll... the weather is looking uber-gash, so may not be riding this week! Will post up here when we decide to go Photos sounds good Mitch
