If you're mounting the guide via a BB adaptor get an ISCG Old guide because its a closer fit to the BB so its much neater Photos of my rebuilt Commencal to follow when I get the chance to clean it and take some photos. I'm still contemplating replacing my Fox Float forks with a set of U-Turn Sektor's but part of me wants to save the cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Bit of a change from riding full sus bikes for the last 11 years or so! Steel is real Hopefully go 2x10 over the summer, new rims to be ordered soon and change the brakes to something a little lighter weight. Any recommendations on rims would be great, want to keep the hubs but they're 36h so limits me slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Dunno if you'd be interested Craig but I've got a 36h ex721 sat in the garage, straight, not seen much use as far as I know. Does have slight fade on the sidewalks from rim brakes but its not worn bad at all. Yours for 20+postage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Craig, is that the Cotic that you were planning on getting? It looks very tidy I swear by Sun rims, I have EQ27's on my Commencal and the EQ31's on my Giant. I know I'm only a lightweight rider but I have given both bikes a good thrashing and the rims have held up nicely. For that bike the Sun EQ27's should be ideal EDIT: Dammit they don't come in 36h...

Cheers for the off Tom, but being a tart I'll be buying a pair of new rims just not sure what. Craig, is that the Cotic that you were planning on getting?

It is indeeds Ticcy, it's all right. Not ridden it as such yet, due to gammy arm, but the "car park test" seems all ok. Not overly heavy either. Yeah was looking at Sun rims but shafted on the holing. Guess it's Mavic's just not sure what, XM719Disc? I'd like XM819Discs but i think they're 32h only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 No worries, there not going anywhere if you change your mind . The finished article...

dirt jumper jake Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 New tyres which knocked a fair bit of weight off, & A prototype rear disc brake, which is utter shite. thinking about selling the frame and forks and buying a trailstar... or maybe just a proper "proper" Mtb all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 New cheap bike, bought in hope that my ti hardtail would sell asap... It's on ebay now so everyone go buy it! And my other mtb for good measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radfax Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Its been a while since i posted in here, Since Feb 2010 it seems! Anyway back then i had this.. Great bike but i was made a offer i could not reffuse so it went! I was with no bike for a while and then after a little scout through ebay i came across something i have been after for years! Ever since they came out i wanted one, but being about 14 at the time it was impossible! With a upside down photo! Got most of the parts to have it built up now but its been much more of a "on the side bike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsmax04 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 My Ragley up to date. When im looking at her, she looks awesome, but in the pictures looks really poor spec Ive spent loads trying to improve the spec too! Picture taken today on a sunny (but windy) Kitt hill.
