MiuSliS Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'd say change pedals, cause those vps look poor. Besides that eveything looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2wtrials Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Rides real nice.... the riders crap though!What pedals are the in thing at the moment.... and not stupid expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) VP/Onza/Echo/Tryall cage pedals. £15 for standard ones, or about £40 for ones with stronger cages. Take the inner cage out for extra grip and less weight.Infact I have some Tryall cage pedals here with stronger cages you can have off me for a small fee if you want? Upto you mate.

Rusevelt Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 For an A2, that is in bloody good condition its unfortunate that nobody really liked them as they were the early generation high bb frames to appear on the market. BB rise was around 40mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Was +55.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Was +55..I thought the 2005-06 Adamant A1 was 55mm before they lowered it to 30mm in 2006-07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hiya Jon... will message you.The BB is +40 as built and now i have a stem and bar combo i get on with it feels really nice.... mate who has a pitbull loves it and is buying a frame with roughly the same geo.
