Mark W Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Nice setup dude! If I had a stock it'd pretty much be exactly the same as that. Kudos for the real rear tyre/front brake setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customrider-Rhys Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 dem ti bolts just finish it off, looks really nice nick, the new ti pedals should finish that off nicely. and from riding it, it is actually nice and light, and feels lovely to roll around on.

Rusevelt Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Nice and clean looking. No plans to run a rear brake booster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Nice and clean looking. No plans to run a rear brake booster? Not really, seems to work ok without one and quite like a bit of flex, makes it easier on the ol' braking finger after long natural lines or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct mr hawkeye, its a rockman I did have a TT, but after the ~17th rear rim you own you tend to lose track haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 hahaha i have a slight ulterior motive to asking, the rm rim any good holding a grind ect? thinking of getting one for the stock that should be coming together soon.......

N.Wood Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah from what I've found it seems to be pretty good, I've not found a modern rim that holds grinds specifically better than others as each ride the conditions are different and so it always changes. But yeah seems to work as good as the others, still straight after a 8 months or so, pretty light, clean looking graphics, nothing bad to say to be honest! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Whip looks good dude, very tidy. One quickie, what's the rear sprocket? Looks like it has a large spanner fitting for removal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 It's a Trialtech Race splined sprocket - The Neon hub is splined and the big spanner-looking thing is the lockring to keep the sprocket tight. I got fed up of threads on hubs. I cracked the original neon sprocket and tarty replaced it with this TT one. All has been workign well for a year or so now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 You went through the trouble of changing the bolts to Ti i assume to save weight, and you left on the valve caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
