Dan S Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Finaly, i built up a bike and rode it a bit. The bike is very similar to all other manuses except it's weight - 7900g. Rides different to my kamel I had before....I guess I need a higher bar. comments welcome. Edited February 18, 2010 by Dan S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan S Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) My scales must be broken as mines 7.9 but got parts which are less weight etc hubs,bars,bb ? list of the parts? I have Reset BB and a 520 g front wheel. Probably the wheel wins the difference. p.s change those forks before you die 3 rides old and I don't do much "up to front" moves - how much time do I have left? what would you recommend? new rockman fork?

Dan S Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) My spec: rockman manus - Rockman manus koxx forks - Echo SL t-master stem - Tryal 3D stem with alu bolt echo sl headset - Echo Sl headset pro series onza rim - Monty kamel Rim (250g or less) echo sl hub - Tryall 'H' Hub hope ti/carbon brakes f & r - Hope tryall F, hope mono with Tryall rotor and +20 adaptor. Alu bolts in both lever blades. Try-all carbon bars - Monty 221 Ti bars ti reset bb - Ti Reset bb try-all superlight pedals - welgo Mg1 without much paint try-all cranks - monty cranks pro series onza rim single walled. - Tryal No war echo rear sl hub - Monty 221 Ti hub try-all front tryre - tryall front tyre maxxis creepy crawler rear - Monty Eagle claw with nobbles off I have to admit that I like the new Onza rear rim more than tryall. And I (as well as you) forgot to add the tubes. maybe they make the difference? Mines are 120 each.

kristaps Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 They are very short and straight and beating my aurem, then I placed 2 washers..and all is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan S Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 strange that all rockman users complain about little space between a crank and a frame. I have 10-15 mm left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispyboy Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Sweet.. +1..forks is light, but you should to change it crispyboy.. why you are using maxxis rear tyre? better than monty? Maxxis tyres i think are the best out there. Try-all seem abit hard maxxis are hard but have alot of flex aswell and monty are just to flexy you get tyre fold on everything strange that all rockman users complain about little space between a crank and a frame. I have 10-15 mm left. You must have a 170mm bb ? They are very short and straight and beating my aurem, then I placed 2 washers..and all is ok where did you place the washers ? being dumb haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan S Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) You must have a 170mm bb ? Reset TI comes in 127.5 only. maybe I am mistaken.....not exactly 15 mm.

Mr Rankin Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Really nice bike you got there mate, these are my favourite frames at the moment (except my sexy sky obviously) Ryan's bike is sooooo light, couldnt believe it when i saw him the other day. Rides lush too. The silver one they have bought out looks even more sex IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristaps Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 where did you place the washers ? being dumb haha Between BB spacers and cranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
