shovel Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) recently cracked my Toxisn 1 frame at the bottom of the downtube where it joins the BB, it lasted me well and was a beast of a bike!Mr Travis kindly gave me an awesome deal on his old Czar frame though to get me going again and i've got to say it's a beast to ride, running the front end super low but it feels awesome, bigger gaps/sidehops and taps are getting there too and only rode it a week!only change from old bike is the lower front end/single speed instead of gears. i work at a bike shop part time so weighed it with our scales and comes in at 24.4 pounds, nice and light quick spec czar long frameecho urbans (magura mounts cut off)chris king headsetchris king hubschris king 19T alu singlespeed sprocketchris king alu cassette lockringrear magura with coust padsfront 180mm mono trialsecho 07' rimsmiddleburns with 22t hardcote ringsram chainbonty race lite stem 100x7degzoo barslimited out 105 mech with b tension spring removedhigh roller/cinder tyresand pics!

shovel Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 few little updates....rear tyre was knackered! the wire in the sidewall decided to come away on the inside giving me punctures and making the bike feel odd on the back wheel no high rollers in stock at work so went for a front Minion and was out last night for a bit and feels super grippy!!was also able to get another link out of the chain so took off my lizzard skin as there's no chain slap anymoreoh and since i'm such a tart i took some more pics after cleaning it today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Looks good needs spacers under stem though, would ride nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Looks good needs spacers under stem though, would ride nicer.no it wouldn't, rides great with the low front end, had a shot on bens czar and the front end is about 2" higher and it just didn't feel as good also i would need a high rise stem, not spacers as the steerer tube has been cut to suit the spacer etc at the moment....

But in theorey with the bb rise you should have stuck a few spacers underneath to stop the front end feeling to low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
