3dd Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Got new frame and forks last friday, finaly got it built up, had a ride on sunday in trials park in Barrow farm, unfortunately did not take any rding pics but it was amazing.So here it is, my stinger, might cut forks a bit lower though. Also a bit heavy at the moment 11kg, i think because I got some beasty tyres on it - nevegal 2.5 and 2.1Riden it for 3 hours yesterday and finaly got used to it. Haven't riden for 3.5 weeks before that, so i was very impressed when I did a tap i would strugle on my old LE. So I fully agree to Ali C that longer do help, I can feel it, but I still don't understand how, because you would need to tuck lower? Frame also feels very stiff!Anyways want to thank tarty for sorting me out that quick as I know they were very busy last week.And I changed my marta that I used for a month maybe to a hope, 100x better! Love it! Next time I will take Adams advice and get hope straight away!Tip* always listen to Adam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathie wafie Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 NICE! Looks like mine It's got to be lighter than 11Kg!?I was thinking that 11kg is way to much! Its a light build, and the Kenda's i had where stupid light?? Unless you've got a different version of the Nevegals?lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 LOVE that. They ride so well, and the long c'stays really were shockingly nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dd Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Well my scales might be wrong, I just weight myself 68kg and then bike and myself 79kg. I dont know what is so heavy, i know it shouldn't be! My Gu LE was about 9.7kg with echo forks, try-all ones are about 200g heavier. Front tyre is about 680g and 1kg for the back one, so tyres are fairly light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dd Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 NO, the trick is, you weight your self and yourself with a bike, and then substract. But somewhat I think it is not exact... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetrial Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Those Nevegal 2.5`s weigh in at 1440g on my ParkTools digital scale. They came as stock on my GT Fury, and were the only part I changed on it. Schwalbe MuddyMary 2.35 (Freeride - Folding) weigh 850g, so there is some serious weigt to shave off there.PS: My current MuddyMary tyre on the back of my trials bike weighs 730g after I cut some tread off it.

F That! It said it was about 900g... I think I got one of those then, because its fairly heavy! Need to change back one ASAP!Later Edit. Just weight my bike on proper scales - 10.2kg And I am happy again! Edited October 14, 2009 by 3dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha Goat Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Is that a King on the rear? How are you finding the horizontal drop outs with it? Are you running a snail cam?Thanks, John Edited October 14, 2009 by Tha Goat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dd Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) ... very nice, but spotted the deliberate mistake. You have the brakes on the wrong way around!!!Yes, It is because I am not english and I got used to brakes this way, at least non of my friends can ride it properly but me AndIs that a King on the rear? How are you finding the horizontal drop outs with it? Are you running a snail cam?Thanks,JohnYes it is a king, I am running snail cam on one side, asked tarty 1st, also noticed that stan was using one with his hydroxx, I realised 2 would not fit into the frame anyway. 1 is more than enough, just need to squizee the wheel in a bit harder when putting into drop outs. Works a treat! I also had to make the hole bigger in the snail cam to fit the 12mm fat king bolt.Andwtf I told you straight off the Bat that that magura disc would be shit. Well done Adam!!!Meh gogz, I had to try it. Edited October 15, 2009 by 3dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 to be fair the spokes usually go into the rotational direction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 The arrow on that one points the other way?Obviously if you flip the rotor it points back, but generally you'd stick the etched side outward. End of the day it'll make naff all difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
