Bigman Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Few changes since the last pics.First off all I folded my loverly square hole rear rim so i have a new atomz rim with 28mm holes instead of the 25mm that are in the try-all rims, also took a drill to it the other day.Also decided to give a front magura a go, managed to pay £11posted for a mono lightweight hub and £14 posted for a set of 4 bolt pashley forks and £25 for the front magura, so quite cheap realy, and currently i am realy liking it, abit more hold than the disc, only down side is the small amount of noise.Pics:Spec:Ozonys XR26 framePashley 4 bolt forksTMS 135mm x 25deg stemTrialtech barsFSA internal headsetFront mono lightweight radial lacing onto custom square holed echo 06 rim with Try all front tyreRear CK classic (Turquoise) laced to atomz rim with 7mm holes drilled at each spoke with maxxis high roller tyre, trialtech 16t cog, carbon fibre spacer kit and alu lock ringTry all 170mm cranks, trialtech single side bash, 18t trialtech sprocketCustom push up tensionerFront and rear HS33, 4 finger lever blades, koxx blues rear and greens front, modded echo 4 bolt clamps and 2 bolt RB booster on rear, drilled magura 4 bolt clamps frontWelgo MG1 magnesium pedalsTitanium and alu bolts in places.I am not sure on the exact weight at the moment, might weigh it at some point......Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Bike looks better loving the pashley forks too. Are those custom drilled holes in those Magura levers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 That looks sweet Adam, tensioner looks familiar. Does it have a roller or a just a fixed pad type thing?Any idea how much drilling the rear rim saved? Looks cool, I might have to give it a go.

MATRIAL Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 wooww ,,, soo nice ,,, the fork looks awesome ,, any idea of the aproximate wheigt ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Ahhh, I was going to do something similar with mine, but I got a new chain instead.I've wondered about doing one for the Kot, but I need a twin wheel one, with the 16:13 gearing the chain length is about 2-3mm too short to take another link out, so I've got to wait for it to stretch first.

totaltrials Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Looking good Adam. The bike aswell ofcourse .I was thinking last night of doing exactly the same thing to exactly that rim. Looks good. Did you use something like a pillar drill or did you do it by hand with a handheld drill, looks really neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 All that effort on the light front wheel and you put near on 1kg forks on it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 First bike ive seen with not one deng part on it. Talk about weight saving near enough everything is drilled:O. The small amount of noise you mentioned could possibly be something you have drilled/modified as there may be a stress point on the bike somewhere. Looking tidy aswell the bike.

Bigman Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 The forks do not weigh to much realy, no heavier than a set of koxx forxx...First bike ive seen with not one deng part on it.

craigjames Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 looks good adam, love the look of that tensioner. is it literally just held in between the hub and? as in its not sprung in anyway? need to make a new tensioner for the new frame and king ive got, sick of bending mech hangers. any pics would be awesome dude.
