ben_travis Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Well, here is another of these crazy white bikes. Absolutely loving the geometry, its riding as big as my old (high) bb adamant was.That or im getting better :|I wont go into the spec as its a full deng build.Basically, thanks to Steve at heatsink for the brake adapters and pads, really loving the v-brakes at the moment, thanks to tarty for their continued support and advice on components and setup recently.So my sneaky little secrets are that im currently running an echo freewheel up front (18:16) and full on V-brakes front and rear.Loving itSome riding picshttp://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....st&id=16174http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....st&id=16173http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....st&id=16172 Edited August 1, 2007 by ben_travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(deanie-b @ Jul 31 2007, 08:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Freewheel is what deng sent, i thought what the hell, ill try it, if benito can use a freewheel, it can take the power from my skinny legs. So far no problems at all. Hopefully it will last me a fairwhile.Front vee is awesome, the heatsink pads on there work really nicely, running a grind front and rear cos im a MAN. new vid on its way min. Maybe after that some respect will be regained. The Vees are truly AMAZING though, especially the rear one. LOVING IT.and to the reverand - when the vee arches round (not like a magura eh ) it hits pretty much square on. same with the front. They are prtty much perfect . ill double check for you and maybe change em haha Edited July 31, 2007 by ben_travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
