LEON Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Both frames turned up today, here's the 24". 990wb 74ha 370cs +20bb Cheers to Jonny Jones for the stickers at UBERSticky. Top notch vinyl that sticks to the welds. http://www.facebook.com/#!/UBERSticky Gonna try & match the paint first before I build the 26", I can't live with white forks.

LEON Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Cheers! I'll film as soon as I'm rehabilitated, haven't ridden in a while & need to set things up properly, I'm gonna ache bad for weeks. Can't wait though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Just had a quick roll around and bedded the Saints in, all I can say is f**k. Believe the hype! The front is brand new & it's almost too much with the 203 rotor, in a good way, the rear is 2nd hand and needs a slight bleed, it also has cheap pads so I'll sort that later. but it's not far off. The set up in the pics seems perfect, bar height etc. I'm struggling to set the 26" up though, any ideas? I want maximum easy pulling up, but don't want it too cramped, it's 1025, +20, 378, 73, and I'm 6ft. It's got Trialtech hi rise bars but I've got quite a few stems I can swap around. I've never had a 26" that has a bb any higher than -5mm bb... Edited March 21, 2013 by LEON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) i´d say go for the same setup as on the 24 but with 10mm less stackers,or maybe a 90x25 stem instead of the ritchey Edited March 21, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's got Trialtech hi rise bars Out of interest how do the high rises measure up relative to the tactics? The numbers say that the Dabomb's have a smaller rise but the pictures I've seen don't look like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) i think the description of the tt high risers said "total rise",that´d mean rise from bar clamp to bar end,and normally bars are measured in "rise" as rise from bar clamp to first bend. i think. edit:what i wanted to say is that if the dabombs are measured in the "normal" way,they´re "x rise" plus upsweep,depending on the bar with it could give another 20mm Edited March 21, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the tactics are waaay higher, after using them I actually don't like the trialtechs much, too low and too much backsweep (tactics have very little) TT has more upsweep, but the Tactics have much more rise. I'll try get a side by side pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think Inspired or Tarty (whoever writes the description) uses total rise, which is not that helpful as everyone else in the industry measures differently. Most manufacturers measure something like what Peter said ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Cool beans Cheers dude. A big portion of the TT's rise is due to the upsweep, the tactics don't have too much upsweep so most of the measurement is all rise as you can see. Because TT have a lot of backsweep, you need to have them rolled far forward to make use of the upsweep, which is no good for people who wanna bunnyhop, if they're set pretty straight or back a touch then the backsweep becomes downsweep.

Ali C Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Measuring bars by only using the rise of the bend is silly, I got so frustrated trying to find a bar last year because you can't use that measurement to work out which bar is the tallest. Using total rise is the only sure fire way of working out which bar is the tallest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
