monty madness Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hello, and welcome to the start of my Monty 221 pr build from the frame up. I bought my first trials bike last week (Onza T-Bird), but i have decided to upgrade starting with the Monty frame i have just bought. From the onza i will be using the Magura HS33`s and middleburn Crank, everything else i have just ordered from Tartybikes.co.uk which includes... Echo anodized green rims, black Spokes, Onza Hubs, Rim tape, Onza carbon Handle bars, Onza Fallguy forks, Onza Stem and a set of maxxis Creepy Crawlers from Ebay.. Everything should be here on monday, hopefully lol. Well heres a couple of pics of the Onza and the Monty frame i will be using, and as of monday i will be updating this thread with fresh pics of the build.. Thanks for looking guys, and look out for updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxie_Monty Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Could be a fun little setup for a new starter bike mate, with a few other components changed for more better spec'ed parts . Keep this updated would like to see how the bike improves over time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold it on a few weeks ago to somebody on here lol yes mate it was off ebay, it arrived today. I have just de-stickered it so i can get some custom green Monty stickers made. When taking the stickers off a sticky layer is still on the frame do you have any idea what i could use to get it off without damaging the paint?? thanks mate Edited July 9, 2010 by monty madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green stickers will look awesome too, you kept hold of the ones you took off so you can get them copied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, it should look well in green i just need to find a shop that can copy the stickers lol, if i cant i have a few green monster stickers to fall back on, either that or leave the frame as it is...

monty madness Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 heres a few pics.. got a bit of a problem but ill show you the pictures first lol Right, now for the problem lol. I have tryed lacing the back rim, got all the spokes in (I think there right), got all the nipples on, tightened them all up, but now theres 1 spoke thats loose even though its tightened right up and were the loose spoke is the wheel has a bit of a hump when you spin it.... Any ideas anyone??? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty madness Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 good stuff building a wheel is actually really easy, just sounds like you might have got one long spoke by accident should the spoke come out or will i have to take all the spokes back out hope not lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 should the spoke come out or will i have to take all the spokes back out hope not lol you might be able to pull it out without taking the whole wheel apart if you take the nipple off it, but if it's too long it might be stuck the thread length on each spokes is roughly the same, so take the nipple of your problem spoke and another random one and measure from where the thread starts, up to the hub end of the spoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty madness Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 just took the nipple off and the spoke is the right size,, ARRGHHHHH any other ideas what i could be?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) just took the nipple off and the spoke is the right size,, ARRGHHHHH any other ideas what i could be?? Would have been an idea to pay Tarty £10 to build it for you. Looking forward to seeing the finished bike mate!

craigjames Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Back off the tension on all the spokes and start retensioning it again, don't rush it, it's an easy process to get wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty madness Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 cheers guys,, i took the back wheel into the shop and he said it is laced correct, he told me to lace my front wheel then take them back and he will true them for me. I started to lace the front wheel and had another problem lol, the spokes were to short so i rang up tarty bikes and he said they had sent me spokes to do straight spokes for the front, so heres what it looks like but i dont have a clue if its right lol.. its looking good though and its a perfect circle after a little tuning of the spokes.. can anyone tell me if the spokes look as if there right please??
