Jon_lee9900 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 really looks nice, if i had the cash i would build identical. you think front discs are worth it, not scared about damaging it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_man_dan Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 yeh front discs are spot on u get a bit of wheel flex but it helps loads with wheel swaps and front ups lol bit of a unfair advantage lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 this build has pretty much persuaded me to go front disc (thanks for the question jon_lee) i had thought for ages that i'd abuse one but if it help on front wheel moves, a current focus for my improvment, then everyone's a winnerproperly sweet though bud, good effort on that build. love the style and the look, not tooo much blummin chrome like evrything else these days. stealth is the way forward!

I really like the look of the bike son. Maybe a longer higher stem though...about 120mm by 15-20deg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidehop Stuart Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I wish I had built up a 26'' now! That looks amazing!!Maybe if I've got some money next year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) And in what way would you think a front disc would help do all those things?just the potential to have a brake with a much more reliable bite and hold while still having modulation. and its just part of it i know, no substitue to techniquei cant seem to get my vee working well enough, its either got loads of bite but very little modulation or vice versa. just thought i'd explore the disc route and as has been said, it seemed to help him so mayb it'll have a similar effect for meplus being disc it wont be so affected my mud/water grit etc Edited November 28, 2008 by shamus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feather the brake for as much modulation as a disk and squeeze it alittle harder for solid lock SD7 arms and lever on reverse mount pace forks, pads are coustsinks running on the lightest grind possible.Only down side is it squeals a bit, but other than that its every bit as good as the 203mm mono trial I had, bonus is its 250g lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
