Jake. Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Just got the bike today in the post, thought I'd share. Will get a specs list if enough people are interested, I'm planning on getting new tyres: Rocket Rons for front, Fat Alberts for rear. Rockman forged 20" stem and Rockman carbon bars are coming in the post. I want Echo tr platforms but not sure. Maxxis welterweight inner tubes for front & rear. Front hs33 and new forks (no mounts on this one), the Hope disc brake doesn't seem to bite enough for my liking.

CalRobbo341 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Very nice! I like how the rear end came pre-built, lined up brake, chain and cranks fitted, chain tension ect.. And sorry to spam? But I have a 2011 Front magura, Trials edition cover, heatsink yellows, good bleed, standard clamps and trialtech 2 bolt booster! EDIT - Definately looks like it needs a new stem though! Edited June 26, 2012 by CalRobbo341 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunta Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Good luck not scratching your bars when putting them through the stem There's a video on tarty about how to do it properly I'd like to get some carbon bars for my bike next aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake.

Update: Rockman Carbon risers. Rockman forged 20" stem, Rockman sloping topcap, Trialtech cranks, Tensile freewheel, Trialtech halfring. When I ride the bike, the cranks seem to make a clicking noise at one point each pedal rotation. Any idea what this might be? I tightened the crank bolts up so it's definitely not going side to side. It feels as if it's loose, bit weird. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howvard Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 check if the ends of your cranks hit your magura slaves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 check if the ends of your cranks hit your magura slaves... Checked that cheers, pretty sure it's not that. Strange... May head up to radfest today to ride, maybe someone up there will know haha. I think it's something to do with the bottom bracket/freewheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Shorten that hose, Paint the front rim white, rear black or raw both to make them match Then send me a pic so i can knock one out over it haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Would shorten the hose, but it's magura royal blood, and I have no experience bleeding 2011's. Getting new rims soon hopefully, with front and rear silver hubs. Deciding between black/silver rims and black/silver spokes. Haha will do, I'm just adding all updates to this thread.

siontyrex Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 no need to bleed it just cut it on size near the brake cylinder and just put the other olive onto your remaining hose and screw it back together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
