Duncy H Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Right found another crack in my xtp2 so that makes 6 and a few have got bigger and I thought in stead of getting a new mod frame (and I can't find one that takes my fancy) I might well try stock.Now I would like to use as much as I can from the mod and firstly would the cranks be ok? I run 165 try-all cranks with a 18t fixed sprocket on and after a bit of searching have found that if i ran a 16t back cog it would be ok. Is this the case? Also would I have to lengthen the hose for my rear brake? It is a magura and is just about the right lenght on the mod? I would be using monty ti bars although have heard these are not so wide? would they be ok? bearing in mind I aint the biggest lad anyway. Also I would have to get a bashring and have seen that people such as ali c have been using the thread on the bb to place it on the bike. Can anyone explain this in further detail?Any help is much appreciated and if you would like anything from my mod i haven't talked about give me a pm and we can go from there.EDIT: Also looking at getting a new stem so what would be best on a tight budget?

Duncy H Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Just had a look round this morning and have found that the cranks are 165mm so what would be the best gear ratio to use with these with a 18t front sprocket?Also took my bb out and have found that it is 122.5 mm (try-all) will this be ok as I was goin to run try all cranks with fixed sprocket and try running a bashring on the bb threads?

Ash-Kennard Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 ideally on a stock you want 170+ cranksmaggie hose will probs be long enough, if not buy a new hose for like a quidyou can use pedals, headset, bb, bars, front hub, brakes, grips, valve caps, chain, depending on the stock, cams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamWood! Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Ive just moved to stock from having a mod, this that ive swapped over are: Brakes, bars, cranks, bb, headset and snail cams. ( ive got a modstock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Right, need to know if the 165 cranks I have will be ok to run on it? And need some info on this way that ali c has been mounting his bashring using the bb threads, and would my 122.5mm bb work ok with this?

Duncy H Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Anyone else wanna share their precious knowledge? Don't have a clue about stock tyres, can someone give me some pointers please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 You want something dual ply on the rear, a rubber queen or a maxxis minion, and something single ply on the front agian a maxxis minion should do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Yeh if you're a basher, I only run single plys on the rear, they're bouncier and feel more responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I think i will run single ply in both, I need to know if my bb will be wide enough to take a halfring either on the cranks or on the bb threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Should be, I'd ask Tarty though. A lot of BBs use a spacer adapter thing to use the bb in a 68mm bb shell frame, and some frames are 73mm, but some BBs are 68mm standard.Just ring/email Adam at Tarty Bikes, he'll be able to tell you.

Duncy H Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Right, it looks like to be able to run a bashring on the bb I need a skf bb as it is the only one with a spacer which is what the bashring replaces.So it looks like I will have to run one on the cranks, now will my bb be long enough though?
