monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Decided to change a couple of bits on the bike; Changed the Hope rotor (which was cracked in about 8 places...) to a nice Gusset R-Series and have changed the old skool pashley seat for a nice Federal Slim Pivotal seat with Slammed post (silly light for a BMX setup). So here we go: I like it. A lot. Edit: pictures look much better if you click through to the full size images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 how did you shim out the post to 27.2??Strangely enough, I used a shim !!Not many people seem to do 25.4-27.2 but Cane Creek do and I managed to get one from UKBikestore.co.uk although I believe TartyBikes will be carrying them soon.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Harding Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 love the look of it, as someone else said not sure about the bar and stem combo other than that looks top notch.Just out of interest how does that rear tyre hold up??Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 At last! Someone on a 24 is running a nice looking Pivotal setup! Hallelujah! Bike looks sweet anyway For you weight dudes, Knight Bike Co. do ti Pivotal bolts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thats si nice Dave! What bars are they? look really sweet!I'm warming to theres Inspired's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 how does that rear tyre hold up?I've been really pleased with it. Haven't ridden much in the wet but it's held for everything I've thrown it at and rolls nice and fast. Have had a few pinch's but that partly my fault for running skinny tubes.For you weight dudes, Knight Bike Co. do ti Pivotal bolts...Seat already comes with a hollow bolt, can't be bothered changing bolts on bikes- I just turn on my anti-gravity... What bars are they?Bars are Easton EA30 Hi Rise bars. Cut down by about 1" to make x-up's a little less awkward for my old wrists and shoulders!NO . . MUST . . RESIST!Ah, go on go on go on go on go on... You'll like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 officially the best looking 24 .... white is such a stunning colour...shame you dont have the eisbar hs33s then it would really look amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Ah, fair enough. Thought it was just the A.Bike Co ones that came with hollow bolts, not the Federal ones too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Ah, fair enough. Thought it was just the A.Bike Co ones that came with hollow bolts, not the Federal ones too Yeah, 310g for the seat, post and bolt without any mods. Pretty reasonable I'd say!

Mark W Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 No need to sell it to me, I've been hassling you trialsy bastards to run them for bloody ages Could even drill out the post a bit more too at a guess, make that even lighter... Trim the bolt down a little too maybe. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trim the bolt down a little too maybe. Who knows.Yeah, will probably cut the post down slightly (really, who needs a 70mm long seat post?!) and cut the bolt down a touch to minimise it completely. Just trimming down the excess fat you understand, I'm far from a weight weenie, just like things to be as they should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Cool. I believe that the inside of the post is also oval - could always make that rounded out too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Was thinking of maybe making the setup cleaner by using the 'wedge mod' on the post but I think it would be too much hassle and the gains (if any) wouldn't be worth bothering with so will just minimise what I've got.And OBM, yes the tube is ovalised but I don't think I'll go as far as drilling it... unless I can find the perfect size cutter in the wind tunnel of course in which case it would be rude not to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 What do you think to the seat setup now then Dave? Any problems with hitting your feet etc? I'm thinking of getting one on my Pure, but I'm abit worried about hitting my legs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of getting one on my Pure, but I'm abit worried about hitting my legs on it.Really like it. To be honest, I think the Federal is even more out of the way than the Pashley one was. It's certainly lower and with rounder corners. Possibly narrower too. I've yet to catch my troos on the seat like I did a few times on the Pashley. Ao yeah, go for it!

Tom Booth Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Awsome, Cheers man, bike looks so nice by the way. I'm reaally tempted to swap the pure for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
