Endohopper Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Perhaps more / better photos and a description would yield more replies . Does look good though , and I'm a big fan of these frames . I'm interested to see that you're running a fairly wide rim with what appears to be a well setup V brake . What rim is that and are you still able to achieve an O.K pad alignment ? I've been considering going wide rim too ( instead of the current Mavic D-521 ) but am concerned about the brake arms protruding excessively resulting in leg impalement issues . Either way - looks like a lot of fun to ride . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!!()`/D Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ok thanks for the comments guys, bit of a late reply as ive been a bit busy and forgot about the topic, ok now for the pictures requested...The brake setup is an avid SD5 brake with plaz v brake pads with all the spacers removed, and a bit of monty brake spray on the rim.The rim is a Mission :$ one from a wheelset that was brought from bikes4trials.co.uk but seems to be very like or even identical to the try-all rims available as both have machined sidewalls and the design is the same.More pics here:Click!Click!Ok for the rest of the spec:KOT stock forksHope seatclamp (Red)Unbranded seatpostShadow con bmx seat (very light) ideal for trials bikes with seats as there's not many available.FSA Pig unsealed headsetEcho low rise barsSaracen mad stem :$ SR suntour cranks with truvativ bashring and Abikes Steven hamilton BMX pedals in redHalo twin rail tyre (front)Maxxis High roller 2.35 (rear)Shimano deore LX BBShimano deore front v brake and LeversAbikes Edwin delarosa Bmx grips (very comfy)DaBomb tensionerUnbranded bmx chain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Good show ! You can save quite some weight by removing the bashplate , given that you're running a ring . I was always worried about the narrow rear triangle preventing a fat rim being used with a V brake , but you've put my mind at rest .In this photo :...it looks like your crankarm is warped slightly ?

I was always worried about the narrow rear triangle preventing a fat rim being used with a V brake , but you've put my mind at rest .In this photo :...it looks like your crankarm is warped slightly ?Thanks!, well the my next idea is to change drivetrain to an 18tooth sprocket on the front by obviously changing the cranks and i kinda like the bashplate being there, im not too much of a weight weeney and as for the warped crankarm, it seems to be fine, had no troubles and havent noticed any difference since i brought them (brand new) it might be the way the light is reflecting off the crank as they were originally black but were shot peened by a mate but do have a few little deep scratches here and there. Glad i could help with the whole rim situation.Edit: i wouldnt run a tyre thicker than a 2.35 on rear as ive just looked and theres not much room left for anything bigger on the top triangle.
