steve-winder Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Adam, nothing else to say other than....... perfect. must say i havnt seen a bashring trapped behind the bb shell before but looks absolutely spot on. The red parts have a very defined contrast to the rest of the bike. Yet another work of art bike build from yourself. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rankin Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thats lovely ads, bet that rides amazing! I rode Ali's in belgium and am slightly in love, might be time to get a play bike with bigger wheels How light do you think it could be, over 10 kg seems a lil heavy these days but disks are a lil bit heavier arnt they?enjoy pimping it man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 How light do you think it could be, over 10 kg seems a lil heavy these days but disks are a lil bit heavier arnt they?It's now 9.36kg with Conti tyres, could shed another 150g with lighter rear rim and different rotors...Discs are a fair bit heavier yeah, with my current setup they are probably 500g a bike more than a pair of HS33s with light brake clamps!!

Mr Rankin Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Shite man thats a hell of a difference with just tyres.....mmm im interested......Do you have a weight for a standard one built up with a try-all component set? Also, do the standard bikes come with a steerer tube long enough to put a few spacers like u and ali have done because that makes a big improvement to the ride?Cheers dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess at mine taking more street abuse, but still ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Bike looks lovely, silly light too without comprimising on strength where its needed. Get some rockman rotors on there and you'll be laughing.Just ordered a conti rubber queen, i guess thats what you're running now Adam? Bigman told me theyre quite tall in profile is this right, as ive got a 07 control. guess the stanley knife may have to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 The rubber queen is huge, bigger than a 2.5 maxxis; I think mine measures 29" diameter @ 20psi if thats any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 The rubber queen is huge, bigger than a 2.5 maxxis; I think mine measures 29" diameter @ 20psi if thats any help ta i know theyre wide, a 2.4" conti measures up a lil narrower than my kenda im using at the moment. but yeah it was the diameter im a little worried about. just have to try it and hope.

forteh Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) ta i know theyre wide, a 2.4" conti measures up a lil narrower than my kenda im using at the moment. but yeah it was the diameter im a little worried about. just have to try it and hope.The section of the tyre is really, really round, sort of balloon shaped rather than the squarer carcass of the maxxis, picture attached doesnt show quite how big it is but if you compare it to the size of the maggie slaves it should give you some impression of size Thats mounted onto a dx32 (38mm wide) so on a wider rim it will probably be a touch wider.edit: Im guessing the carcass at its widest point is about 2.6-2.7" can get a better measurement later if you want.

Muel Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've got mine on a 47mm Atomz rim, it's fairly huge! It rubs both sides of my frame when I pedal hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
