Pissed 1.72m (68") but couldn't get his front wheel over 2.06m I've heard Gilles has tapped 1.50m now too... (59")

145 x 25 degree - same as the Echo HiFi High stem. Nice bike, looks a bit like mine Ads

Neil's a great wheelbuilder with lots of experience for XC and road, but I wouldn't say his builds are up to trials. Like has been said, grab yourself a spoke key - will save a lot of hassle, time and money in the end! Adam

The Monty '221 ti' chains are basic XC chains (to save weight), no stronger than any other. We do have KMC Kool chains in stock.

The Vee pads are designed for and work best on smooth rims, but still wear and perform well on grinds.

They do indeed. The colour does, but they're completely different to Coust pads in terms of performance.

Hi All, Rock Pads have some new brake pads out. V-Brake pads: HS33 pads for ground rims, in a new colour: Pads for smooth rims: They will be finding their way into selected 'normal' bike shops in the near future. If any other retailers wish to stock these items please contact TartyBikes for a trade price list. Adam

Approx 15.5mm

I think it's just coincidence - the 74Kingz has been in testing for at least 3-4 months now, so designs would have been done at least 6 months ago I reckon.

'Available in Small (waist size 30-32"), Medium (waist size 32-34") Large (waist size 34-36") and Xtra Large (waist size 36-38")' You can't be smaller than that!? hehe

Haha, team issue... sort of They are the Mace shorts: http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2015 Quite pricey but well worth it I reckon, had them for almost a year now. Cheers for the comments guys!

Yep, you can - just needs a 12mm hole instead of the 10mm currently on there. Obviously I can't be seen to recommend that but I see no reason why it wouldn't work!

Haha, well yes! I have a feeling I would have been pretty badly hurt in a pisspot helmet...

The best helmet is one that fits properly! XC-style helmets protect (absorb shock) best, but need replacing after a good hit...

Ello ello, Few pictures from riding tonight: Dave: Bunnyhop... attempted to back wheel but didn't quite make it, so hauled the bike up to 2 wheels (still UCI clean): Nice sidehop: Stan: Gap up to front wheel from the 3-stack in the bottom left of the picture: Nice tap from short run up, made easily.... Same again from a different view, avec tweakage: Little techy move: Sidehop to back wheel from the sloping pallet on the floor: Adam: Gap to front wheel from the blue pallet on the right of the shot: Hook to back wheel: Bunnyhop to back wheel: That's all folks, hope you like The Tarty Boys

Hi Guys, 74Kingz have a new product out. Its a single speed tensioner, but very different to those seen before on the market! Weight is 52g Adam

Much better than our Swedish Your order left about 15 minutes ago Victor Thanks for the comments guys, appreciated. Back to work...!

They're completely different freewheels now! The new ones have been very reliable for us.

Spot on - ordered ours today so should see them soon enough! Adam

1085 is claimed with the Koxx Forxx, we've measured 1100 with a set of Echo Urbans. Head tube to BB shell is a the best dimension to look at though - you don't hang on to your front and rear axles when riding! Adam

Depends which frame - the 221 Prs are standard 110mm spacing this year. Ads

Juan Daniel de la Pena - world UCI number 4 I think... Very beasty, short mods for the win

Yeah, this was posted before those but it's taken a little while for Admin/Mods to approve this topic unfortunately Unsure on price of brake yet, it'll be up on our site as soon as we have one. Cheers Adam

18:12 you fat knacker, with 170 cranks

Its impossible to get it 100% clean unfortunately, the only way to get full braking performance back is a new rotor. The methods above will help though.
