ti-mig-guy Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hello all. I am new to this forum, thought I would say hello. I am a mod rider, Koza Ti Mig, running Maggie's, nothing too specials. I have had my Mig for 4 months now, and am still trying to dial it in, and build confidence. I am looking to make contact with other Ti Mig owners, to ask a few specific questions about there drive train. So please say hello if you have one, or have a mate with one. Also want to say I am glad to see that there is a forum where flaming and being an as**le will get you banned. ...I wish I lived somewhere else, maybe where people will stop asking why my bike has no seat...

ti-mig-guy Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi and welcome, even though i dont have a Ti Mig, what would you like to ask about the drive train as I might be able to help you out? Tom. The chain stays are very wide, and I am unsure if the BMX rear hub I am running is the correct size. The frame is Titanium and the C.S. are very flexible, so the frame will be stiff when pinched in (I guess). The issue is that my rear cog-fixed- is to close the center of the hub (hope that that makes sense), causing the chain to skip and jump. My front free-wheel is as far into the BB as possible. I can run the chain extra loose and it does not skip. Seems to me that a wider hub may be necessary. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ti-mig-guy Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I am a little embarrassed to say...My language sounds kinda like yours but we say words like-douche bag and pimp, and never say things like wanker or mate. Would you like to guess? The forum I was using until today was full of totally useless, mean, disrespectfully little "botches" so I am glad to be here.

Diz Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 ...I wish I lived somewhere else, maybe where people will stop asking why my bike has no seat... Yeh, unfortunately you'll get that a lot. I've just started telling people that because its only a cheap bike they didnt add a seat to cut costs. Kinda solves two problems. One being to make the person asking the question feel a little stupid, and two, generally the people that ask are chavs who are eyeing up the cost of the bike so that if the steal it they'll know how much its worth. By saying its a cheap one they usually aren't that fussed with robbing it....bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride a triton deema myself, really do like titanium as a frame material If you take the rear wheel out, use a tape measure to find the distance between the dropouts, generally for mods its 116mm and for stocks its 135mm - the hub should sit snugly between the dropouts, the chainstays shouldnt be squeezed when you tighten the wheel. BMX hubs are 116mm, normal mountainbike hubs are 135mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti-mig-guy Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 No pics today, camera is dead. Will do it on Monday. I like the spin on not having a seat meaning the bike is worthless, will definitely use that. Not from Russia or anywhere close, but it was a good guess. I am from a medium size town, Spokane, in Washington State, (not D.C.). I am 29, and have a nice life. I am a self described tree-huger, father, and Buddhist. Didn't mean to come off like I only wanted to say hi to Mig owners, if it seemed that way to you. Hello everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
