Duncy H Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Rightio I've just received my bike and built it up, few things need sorting which is why i'm posting some pics to get feedback from you knowledgable people. First thing to be changed is the stem, hopefully at the weekend it will be swapped for a 90x35* system ex stem. Then when i get a front brake i will put both of the brakes on. Can someone tell me if i have put the tensioner on right? It doesn't seem right to me, the chain is rather old though, it wants replacing. First impressions were very good, even with the long stem, the few streety moves i tried came to me with ease, very pleased about that And brakless trialsy moves sempt good too. Update: Whacked on a new stem and some brakes and it made a whole heap of a difference, it's so fun to ride, really up my street. Still need to get used to it though only had a ride or two. I'm doing the national at bracken tomorrow so i debuilt it and then rebuilt it with my speedrace frame. Would like to hear your opinions please Edited September 17, 2011 by Duncy H 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I thought that wet front tyre was actually meant to look like that.. would be pretty cool if Try-All made one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Looks pretty sexy, keep it brakeless for abit to get insane at spins. The tensioner's arm should be closer to the chainstay, take some links out of your new chain and it should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) cool to see the frame has finally arrived I've put a rubber inbetween chainstay and tensioner, as these sprung tensioners don't really stay in place, no matter how hard you tighten them.. at least mine came loose after a while and the chain had no tension anymore.. http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/6827/inspiredhexmai20113.jpg Edited September 9, 2011 by Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 bike looks cool, next step should deffo be a shorter stem though! Chris, why rout the chain under both cogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 in the beginning I had some problems with the drivetrain. the chain skipped.. maybe because it was too long and didn't have a proper tension. I removed some links and added the rubber. I couldn't run the chain the "correct way" anymore, but it finally worked then. maybe the arm was too long? I think I have the long version which is for 15-20 teeth cogs. I had 15t.. the standard one for 13-17 teeth cogs might have worked better?

PaRtZ Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 loss of man points for the pun. Id say either put brakes on it as it is, or swap the tyres for something more rolly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
