SamKidney Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Looks beautiful mate! Rawed pedals next ? Cheers! Nahh, these have developed a creak/crunch and side to side play. Going to whack some Echo or Try-All pedals on there! Looks really good mate! Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 It's a 116mm frame right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 It's a 116mm frame right? It is. The hub came with snail cams. Ran the hub without them in my Ice as it was 110mm, but have added them again to attain the correct spacing for the frame. Replacing them with 3mm washers soon to make it look a tad neater.

SamKidney Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Jeez, get a 116mm hub. It is a 116 spaced hub! Echo do an updated TR hub for these/the lite frames without the snail cams (as theyre not needed) but with spacers that are 3mm longer. I bought my hub before then, when the latest echo frames required cams, so the spacers on the hubs were 3mm shorter, and the snail cams made up the 3mm either side. All works fine! Will look fine when I get some proper washers in there to neaten it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Oh I thought you said it has a 110mm hub, read it wrong. I run mine without any spacers, don't see why you cannot? Without the snail cams and just the axle spacers, when tightened the axle bottoms out on the bolt washers. If you look at it without cams, it is a 110mm hub. With the cams, which are 3mm thick, it makes it 116 spaced. Your hub will have axle spacers that are each 3mm longer than mine, meaning its 116 without cams Edited September 1, 2012 by Echo Lite 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in spending £40 for a hub, with the only difference being the length of the spacers. My axle is the same length as a 116 hub, just the spacers are shorter. This runs exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Im hoping an lbs close by here may have one knocking about in the store room. I'll settle for a standard High Roller if not, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Got an SD7 lever for sale btw Sam. Made a hell of a difference on my front vee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Happy with my FR5 thanks:) Same lever, just without the dial thingy. Setups dialled atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 After riding it yesterday this bike was built for me! Handles really well on the back wheel and the front vee is awesome! So tempted to go dual v-brake on the ozonys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 So tempted to go dual v-brake on the ozonys! Do it! Or atleast on the rear which i did! So nice to setup and where really stiff even without booster, and really good peformance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) I used to have one exactly the same as that near enough, agree about the vee, wish I still had mine! the only thin I would say is the stem looks abit overkill, it would be fine with something like a rockman with a couple of spacers Edited September 4, 2012 by onza limey20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive ridden one with the rockman stem on it and, after riding my own with this stem, it just didnt feel as nice. The only reason the stem looks overkill is its not the usual choice. Infact, in person it looks entirely right on the bike, and as seen here, Ive had more than a few people tell me its the nicest 24" theyve ridden. Its working for me and feels so comfortable and balanced. That and my steerer is too short to run a 150x30 with enough spacers to acheive the same feel. Yeah,but that speed dial thingy makes a biiig difference. How so? Edited September 4, 2012 by Echo Lite 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
