Tomm Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 What is it? A Trance? It's a nice bike anyway - my girlfriend has a Trance and she loves it, they just seem like brilliant value bikes. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's not a Trance, it' s a Giant Yukon FX2. Same colours as a Trance model from that year, but lower spec and deosn't have the Maestro linkage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 BB is too low, those 90mm fox forks are a little too short for the bike but they're so damn good! and the frame's too low for proper xc but minor issues to be fixed when i get money! Thinking of sticking with a spesh frame, or maybe a dmr trailster2 anyone have any experience with one? would they work with 90mm forks? Any suggestions for (low budget) frames please guys?

Thinking of sticking with a spesh frame, or maybe a dmr trailster2 anyone have any experience with one? would they work with 90mm forks? Any suggestions for (low budget) frames please guys? I've got a Trailstar. It's currently got 100mm DJ3s on it but for a while I had my Pikes which are adjustable from 100 - 140 mm. 100 feels nice, quite snappy handling and great fun through twisty stuff, but it gets overwhelmed by steep stuff and big rocks. With the forks wound out to 140mm it's a completely different beast though, it feels like it'll take anything. Of course it probably won't, it'll just snap at the headtube if I use it like that for any length of time They're nice frames, feel spingy like all steel hardtails should. So I imagine with 90mm it would be on the low end of what you'd want. Somewhere around 120 would probably be nice medium. They're quite small though - Even with the seat fully up (420 mm post) it's not big enough for me really. Also mine's got really small chainstays, max tyre is like 1.9". That's a fairly big annoyance if you're planning on using it as a serious XC bike really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Any suggestions for (low budget) frames please guys? How about an On-One 456? Pretty nice for the money, or could pick up a Dialled Prince Albert 2nd hand for not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Tomm are you sure you can only get a 1.9 in there? I had Moto's on when I had it and they're what 2.3, 2.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: there she is I was in a local bike shop the other day and they had a brand new set of these still in the boxes at £140 each along with a matching front and rear mech to the brakes. The brakes look amazing in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's all I was able to fit in, although it's a bit weird and some tyres will fit better because of shape rather than actual volume. This is for 26" wheels, right? For 24 there's loads of room.

Tomm Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Yeah it was fine with 24". I used to run my trials wheels (Wide-ass Tioga rim + 2.5" Maxxis) with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 To be honest I forgot it was 24 & 26 with APS, I just remembered it being a 24 frame. I'd quite like something like that again actually, so I can run gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualjoe Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hope and Avid are both pretty good. My urban machine: Just a trip down to the shops is exciting on that thing! Swap a few parts around and we have: Forks are rental jobbies after mine snapped within the first 10 minutes of riding in Morzine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Bucky - You can use any size disc (it doesn't matter), although 160mm is likely to be more than enough. Those forks have ISCG mounts and whatever brake you buy should come with the mounts. Otherwise you would need to buy an appropriate adaptor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
