  1. I guess, but its not often people ask things like "does an XTP mod have higher standover than python" etc Hmmm im still miffed no one has agreed with my idea on the other page Maybe if porter saw it....
  2. whats that? another company is copying a frame type :o oh noes!! similar to the zona zip story imo but lets not go into another slating match The paint job on the holroyd is definitly damn good according to that picture anyway I agree with nadine, i think the BB looks higher too
  3. In all honesty I'd send it to profile europe and see what they can do. The last thing you want to do is start messing around with the bit that holds your weight steady Up to you though, I suppose tapping to a size larger could be done but....meh
  4. Tis a Kris Holm and no I just sprayed over em Why....have I missed some important info about them? lol
  5. Well I've just sprayed another rim (blue of course) and I thought I'd document it to give people who don't know an idea as to what to do: You will need An area to spray - This should be well ventilated and not be in an area of importance to someone (I suggest a garage surrounded by dust sheets) 1 x Colour spray paint - Im using some normal car spray paint availalbe from most good hardware stores. Remember you may have to be 18 to buy spray paint (as store policy) 1 x Clear laquer - Must be suitable to match the colour paint you're using. Again age restrictions may apply 1 x Fine piece of sand paper 1 length of thin wire - such as fishing twine 1 x roll of masking tape - and or scissors if required A rim to spray...I probably should have put that first actually.... OK first of all mask off all the areas that aren't getting sprayed. Will Arnold has suggest that my brake will be beasty with the anodised finished, so Im masking over the sidewalls. Now whilst the masking tape is on, gently sand down the surface which you want to spray. This is called giving the surface a 'key', basically It will let the paint "cling" onto the surface better As you can see I've also masked over the inside of the rim, because of the spoke holes. Although I can't vouch from experiance, I don't want paint being wasted on the inside of the rim where no one will see, so I'll mask it off to stop it going there Now to use your fishing twine to suspend you rim. You want it at the right height to spray it at but it really doesn't matter. Just don't complain to me if you've got back problems after hanging it too low Now you are all ready to start spraying!. Ideally you should be using primer too, but I've found this not to be necessary . Look at the can to see what it suggests and follow the instructions to the letter. If your can of pain doesn't have any instructions, then its a shit can of spray paint....and here is my guide: Apply in short "bursts" of sprays in a relatively fast motion about 7 inches from the work. This is so that you won't be too heavy with the paint, causing it to drip and look sh-sh-shite. Remember a gradual build of coats is key to a good finish. Also, another point worth mentioning is that when spraying like this, it is worth doing a small bit, then allowing to dry BEFORE TURNING. the fishing twine or whatever you're using can cut into the paint otherwise (which happened to me ) and make it look a bit crap. Just be careful, and DON'T drag the twine across your work 5 coats later (you can do more if you want of course ) and you should have something along the lines of this : It would be quite tempting to use this as it is, but unforuntaly there is a high chance that the paint would peel off. So to combat this, its time to add the laquer! Same application as before, check the can for guidlines or see above if none are given. I only used 3 coats for this, but feel free to use as many as you like The result is: Also as added individuality I added a piece of masking tape over the valve hole Happy spraying And PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ME WITH ALL THE PICTURES!!
