cai Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Constructive critisism, I like it Get a shorter stem, with more rise! Will consider thisGet some bars without a crossbar thing. Some deity's or something like that, about 2.5ish " rise. Mine are 3" though, I'll consider this though as it would be lighterGet some smoother tyres, so it rolls nicer and looks alot better. I sometimes ride Natural with Ozzy, and do alot of Trials. So I'd prefur grip over rolling speedMake it single speed and get a propper tensioner, it will look soo much less cluttered! I use 22:16 for full on Trials, 22:15 for a bit of both (the gear I would single speed it to), and I use 22:14 for big bunnyhops and stuff... so I like the option of flicking through gears as I rideGet some nice forks on there, some fattys or something, anything but onza! Deffinatly! I had some Ashtons but the steerer was too short for me to run the all importan 10mm spacer Will be getting some Urbans soon thoighGet a better seat post, prefurably black one! I like the silver, plus its really light and is pivitolAnd then, it will "possibly" be the best looking mk2 yet. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Owen. Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Cai, fair play! If you like it like that, then keep it exactly how it is!

Oli Smith Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 The seat looks out of place mate. And the bars. Its looking more dirt jump than trials. But apart from that bud its all sexylicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ill put my opinion on what you can do to make it better! Get a shorter stem, with more rise! Get some bars without a crossbar thing. Some deity's or something like that, about 2.5ish " rise. Get some smoother tyres, so it rolls nicer and looks alot better.Make it single speed and get a propper tensioner, it will look soo much less cluttered! Get some nice forks on there, some fattys or something, anything but onza! Get a better seat post, prefurably black one! And then, it will "possibly" be the best looking mk2 yet. OwenYou are referring to something like... this? Sorry I can't help it. This was taken in June 4th. The ratio is 21:15, but now I'm running 21:16, which makes the chain tension just nice, I don't even need to use a tensioner. Come September I'll get the heli-coil sorted, and shorten the rear brake cable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnyMilton Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 sorry, but its not bonnie either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 That would be so fit without the blue stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yeah, I realised that too. Everytime I look at my cranks I feel like using oven cleaner to make it silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 You should! Silver (actually black would be nicer) coloured cranks & bash would be far nicer Also how do they ride with that short of a stem? As my bike feels lush, but could do with being abit 'flicky-er' - would getting a shorter stem help? Or do I need more/less rise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'll be changing the drive side crank arm to a black monty from my friend (deng crank spline fitting is loose, lol).I use a short stem cos all the while since I started riding till now it has always been a short stem. I think it should help, shorter means faster reaction, higher bar also helps you to pull easier because higher bars makes the bike closer to you. However, a higher bar also means your bike takes up more space and your front wheel will be lower when you pull to your "overshot" point. So it may reduce your bunnyhop height.high bar = pull easierlow bar = pull higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
