bousfield19 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 i also have one and i find it really nice to ride the one thing i did do though is to take the forks and replaced them with a set of fattys.this allowed me to run front hs33 it also dropped the front givving it a more streety feel to itoverall i think it is a bargain for what you get i dont know any budget bike that rides this good for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Davies Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I think you can only run a chris king hub in these frames (according to the ebay description) it might be worth bearing that in mind as a back wheel will cost you a small fortune!correct me if i'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 correct me if i'm wrong This is wrong, actually, though it's an easy mistake to make if the eBay listing is written poorly (I've not really read it myself) These frames have 116mm rear hub spacing - the same as a standard mod/BMX frame. This means you can run any BMX/mod hub that you want (as far as I'm aware) eg Profile, King, Deng stuff etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuie Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 yes that is correct...i am running a profile and it feels great, but the bike is a tad on the heavy sidespec 26" singlespeed specific street trials frame designed by UK trials rider Danny holroyd. New for 2006. 1060 wheelbase, chain stay 387mm, cnc dropouts, bb yoke and brake brace platee, 625mm bb to headtube, 20mm bb height. Rear hub size 112mm with 68mm bb shell.

Luke Rainbird Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Don't take that geo as guaranteed though - the few I've seen/ridden have all had different geo, and when we asked 24seven what the geo was on them, they couldn't tell us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuie Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Don't take that geo as guaranteed though - the few I've seen/ridden have all had different geo, and when we asked 24seven what the geo was on them, they couldn't tell us well i have one and everything that is there is the same as my bike....

Luke Rainbird Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 That may well be the case, but I'm just saying, so that if he goes ahead and gets one then he may not end up with that.When 24seven initially put these bikes online, they quoted the wheelbase as 1060, shortly after this then changed to 1080.We emailed them around a week or so ago, to ask the geo of the ones on eBay, or even if they knew what any of the bikes had been listed as/supposedly built to, and they couldn't even give us a rough guess.All the examples I've seen or ridden have been somewhere between 1060-1085 (that's including the 24seven headset/forks, so shouldn't be much variation there...) with around +10 to +20 BBNow, obviously the horizontal dropouts will have some element to play, and will depend on your gear ratio, but some of the differences seem silly, and the fact that the brand themselves couldn't give an idea of what they should be isn't all that great really.If you want a cheap way of setting things up, get one, but don't be alarmed if the geo doesn't work out as exactly what has been posted, that's all I'm really getting at!

Luke Rainbird Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 No problemo dude I wasn't trying to have a go/be nasty, just trying to explain how I meant a little more as I didn't write it out all that clearly beforehand!
