Dan6061 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 If you can put the Magura mounts on the mod frame, then I'd be well up for testing it! But I don't want to change my rear Profile and buy a whole new brake to test the frame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossMcd Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 my matee james davies is in nmc and wants to ride the mod aswellcheersleon xPeople are selected to test the frame due the the reliability of sending stuff etc. And because he is still in NMC he hasnt proved himself yet.

He may not send the frame to the next person in line. That would be my main consern if i was asking people to test a frame for me in a similar manner to this.

Dang! Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) I do not wish to moderate the forming of the list, I haven't the ability to get to know most of these people. It is important that potential riders be cleared by the community at large, because it is the potential of loosing their chance to ride that is at the heart of the matter.If you have a suggestion for a potential rider, but they are not on the forum, they are not known well, there is a language barrier, or any other reason they can not speak for themselves. I suggest you have them either contact me directly or contact me yourself, so that we may discuss it further. Word to the wise:If you find yourself attempting to do vouch for others, make sure there are others who will vouch for you.As much as I would like to take all of you at your word, some random person vouching for another does not carry much weight unfortunately...However, a well put together letter (read email) of introduction and intent, goes a very long ways.Hinmaton-On another note-The Mod frame has it's own tension system and does not need snail cams and what-not.I would like to make the rear spacing 110mm?

RossMcd Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The Mod frame has it's own tension system and does need snail cams and what-not.I would like to make the rear spacing 110mm?Have the spacing left at 116 so then people who run echo hubs or whatever dont have to wreck the bearings as the snailcams arnt in place. This happened to my echo hub as there were no snailcams and there were constant play on the bearings. also put little threaded holes for the use of snails as well as the tension system. Or possibly have one or the other so people have the choice in what they want to use I would also like to see or hear what you have planned for the tension system. Sounds interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Rob Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Sounds like a pretty sound decision to me.Who will vouch for me ay lol.Not sure on the mod spacing as i don't ride one.Probably best sending Adam at Tarty an email to discus some options with him. He sells too many bikes/frames so should have a better understanding of what the public want then just a rider calling out a spec that they want to test.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dang! Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I edited my comment- The Horizontal dropout has it's own tensioner, and does not need a snail cam or what not.It's thumb wheel actuated- similar to a Magura TPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Looks awesome ! I'd be very interested in testing one, also run a rear disc, 203 so would try as best as i could to put the frame through it's paces Also like to think i'm pretty reliable aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I edited my comment- The Horizontal dropout has it's own tensioner, and does not need a snail cam or what not.It's thumb wheel actuated- similar to a Magura TPAI had similar tentioners on my Mongoose and they were very hard to turn and adjust. have you got any closeups of the actual tpa bitty ad how do you find it for adjusting?Oh is that the mod frame btw?

Dang! Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yeah- i's not a new invention by any stretch of the imagination. Just 44's take on it.I'll take a close up- it's a clever little bit of fun, and it moves freely.Here's a rendering, I will get photos later...The frame shown is the smallest of the Mods. A custom job for an Elite rider in fact.The disc mount is 180mm. I just don't see myself making it any bigger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Why 180, out of interest? I've found 160 is plenty powerful enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The dropout actually looks really good well done!But is the screw just threaded into the little metal part that pushes the hub? may be better if that is one part. Like if it was the end of the actual bolt just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dang! Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Why 180, out of interest? I've found 160 is plenty powerful enough.I guess it just worked out that way-I think I would be willing to go 160mm though, just not bigger.
