Filo Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 you will need to consider your rear hub also.the wider axle will play havock with you chain line.if you have a 9speed hub you could move your sproket,however if you use a trials specific say tryall screw on you chain line will be up to shit.

Junkee Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 thanks guys! i've thought that someone used this bb and can say how it feels on the bike standing on rear wheel, keepeing balance, etc Alex Dark, increasing Q-factor is good for me - i usually hit the bone on the left leg above my shoe.. So with tms bb pedals will stand much more further from magura cylinder. Filo, you are right! i didn't thought about this fact. But for me it's not so important - i use hope pro2 trials, so i'll be able to make the chain line go almost straight ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
