Ross McArthur Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Firstly I was like the disc tabs grew back!! Ha ha! Then I remembered. Looks good. Its about time the lightness fairy chopped that steerer down, dont you. Oh, and sort that bash out, its doing sweet FA just now. Either turn it round or take it off like a real man.

Ali C Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 those frames are possibly my fave ever stock frame, they just ride sooo well! That's a nice looking build too, I would ride that* *if I still rode long bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps, the bash is staying on. nice! must be quite lightweight now.. is that a trialqueen on the rear? do you like it? Yup its quite light around 9.4kg with a little room for improvement tubes etc. Yeah its a trial queen, not had a chance to ride it yet, ill let you know how many pinches i get at the end of the weekend. I just can't accept the truth Thats because "you cant handle the truth!" Cheers for the comments lads.

315r Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Nice work Jambo!! Last week end I bought a new try-all light tires and a maxxis flyweigth front tube for my yaabaa, and everyday I'm more and more satisfied with this bike. The difference was absolutely amazing in weight and general ride feelings with this tires / lose of weight. The next step for me are get some wellgo pedals and rear try-all Hole rim. Other thing that I had in mind was to "sacrifice" the rear disk holder, exactly in the same way that you do. I thought in that before I have seen your bike, actually I marked the line of cut two weeks ago. I'm going to cut the disk holders of the hub too. As soon as I'll get the try-all hole rim and build it I'll post some photos of my yaabaa. We can share "experiments" with this bike Jambo Cheers!!

Rob Leech Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Looking rather swish How are you finding the rear rim? Any obvious problems with it like? I've been looking at getting one, but havent seen anyone except the atomz boys with them. Cheers, Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a brand new hubshell on my hope, my old one had the disc tabs cut off it, cant bring myself to cut disc tabs off a brand new shell. Pretty sure i could get it under 9kg if i really tried, but i still wouldnt ride it any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think id buy another id imagine the wee bit of extra weight on the trialtech one makes for a slightly stiffer rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
