Ross McArthur Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Wow, whats your gearing? 16: something? Is there not a bit of annoying slapping action going on from the chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Good luck finding an 11t What seat is that, out of interest? Gusset or something? Looks sweet anyway (the whole bike, plus the seat )! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks sweet anyway (the whole bike, plus the seat )! Its a Odyssey Senior2 plastic! All the Bmx'ers hate it, too small I have a pretty wide Ultegra 11t cog..But afraid that it won't have enough grip in its teeth and slip Edited October 18, 2010 by Skorp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Aaaaah, interesting! I had the Senior 2 on mine, but with padding on. Hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell did you get it to weigh that little, i thought 24" were near impossable to get under 9 kg? Also what tires are they, they look pritty rockin I have just bought pretty light parts all over.Cutting off wire tabs, brake mounts and blasting the frame and fork saved alot. aand i have a Echo TR frontrim at the rear! Dont need a heavy , wide doublewalled rim The Tyres are Schwalbe Tabletop 2.25 Wire..They are okey, abit to light to use for trials, exept as a front tyre.. Works fine for chilling around brakeless Edited October 19, 2010 by Skorp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not really.. i had Trialtech 38mm rims on before, so the 37mm front rim does not feel any different! When it comes to strenght i guess the front rim is strong enough aswell. Since im only fooling about brakeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
