FamilyBiker Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 the bike looks seriously nice,the chain is frightening me though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulotrialsrider Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Ha yes, it does need shortening, its not a simple chain however, the links are alien to me, so rather than get mad, i just ride, it currently works well so until she snaps or i bend the mech hanger i shall just keep it like that . Was good meeting you too Ross - no problem at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoSam Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Hi, nice bike had an Ashton myself although the newer effect. You've got a half link chain on there, break it/rejoin it the same as a regular chain. P.S: The chain is, as far as I can see, is on upside down and back to front.

Mikee Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I like it. However, I think that the blue chain, front rim and tyre is a bit too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I like it. However, I think that the blue chain, front rim and tyre is a bit too much. I do agree on that. Those parts in black would be better but its cool to see as its different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulotrialsrider Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I know what you are saying, it is a bit too much, but it has grown on me. The chain and tyre will be shortly changed to full black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
