I probbaly put the wrong hub. It's the halo singlespeed hub same as the hope trial hub. Just different pawl setup. Taking a but of a risk trying it out for trials I just like the 6 pawl system it looks much like the insides of my tensile freewheel.

I already had the shimano cranks I will probably get something stronger when they break.

Thank god those aren't maggie mounts, or you'd have a tough time tightening the rear bolts.

Not to mention running a chain ;)

I thought the same as everyone else even though I saw it in the flesh just the other day, and it didn't have them on :P Thought it might've been an afterthough until I thought about just how impossible to run they would be. Haha. Freaky photo angle is freaky!

After a good look into this freehub.

The pawls sit in a steel holder which is threaded to the alloy cog carrier.

I am not keen on the fact its threaded alloy to steel. So long as I don't wreck those threads it will be ok.

But I tryed the hope freehub body on the halo and it fits so I will bodge one of those on if the halo fails. And if that then fails hope all the way.

Jafs finished the frame its in the post.

You'd be miles better off with a Hope xc.

Seems a waste to have a nice new frame & stuff, then top it off with a piece of shit carrying every pedal stroke.

I looked at them once, then I looked away.

Are the JAF graphics created in house Josh, or are they made at a specialist? Frame looks great good job!

Yep, all in house. It's just easier that way with people wanting different things :).

whens it gonna be built?

It will be with him sometime tomorrow, so keep an eye out, I'm sure he is ;).
