rupintart Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Finally got it up and running. I couldn't keep waitin on RCP to finish my frame, so I got one for the mean time. Not quite sure why the uploader keeps giving me a server return error, so you'll have to click the link below then scroll down a lil to see it completely built up. 17.68 lbs It's a little flexy in the rear end, but I really like the geometry. Hopefully I like the sky geo, or I may be coming back to this bike. http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=46586 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Nice crank clearance This looks super nice. Because frame suits the fork really well! Really wish I had the money to splash out on a Sky 2 complete, and then add carbon forks + bars :3 Edit: Just seen the complete comes with both of those -.- Edited May 7, 2012 by Echo Lite 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) I can guarantee they will still catch even with that clearance as when you ride the bike you are applying weight which is gonna give a slight flex if thats a way to put it. No doubt you will end up having to ditch the burns its what i had to do when i upgraded to a modern frame. Even running your cranks on the widest b.b on the market can still cause catching reason being middleburns have a 28mm clearance offset. modern cranks such as trialtechs run on a 33mm offset. I hated the day i had to get rid of them to say i had mine for 7-8 years and they come with life time warranty as those cranks were the bomb in the old days still are now to be fair as i ran mine on the original rs7 bash then upgraded to a cloud9. if middleburn were to re release some cranks with more clearance i would quite happily go back to them. But now i have bonded well with my trialtech set up. EDIT: Just remembered i even had to get a grinder to my burns ( which brought a tear to my eye seeing £100 cranks getting butchered) to see if it would resolve the problem it did for a while but when it came to setting brakes up it was a problem. It was pain when i upgraded to say i was running on square taper lol Andy Edited May 7, 2012 by Andeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupintart Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 The clearance is quite a bit better now that I have the TNN pads and backings on there. I have a normal level of clearance and it no longer knocks the cylinders. I do still have some rear end flex that will hopefully be alleviated with the new one piece axle and fun bolts kit on the King. Looking forward to the upgrade as I REALLY like the way she rides! Thanks for the compliments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
