Jake. Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Can't wait to have a hop on this thing, looks so fun to ride rocks on. Did well with the colour scheme too, looks almost like a 2k build of tarty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Glad I could help with the donation. Looks like a nice spec, students these days get way to many loans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Glad I could help with the donation. Looks like a nice spec, students these days get way to many loans I disagree. I personally had to have two jobs (one before lectures began, the other in and around free time) because the maximum loan per year I could apply for was £300 less than my accommodation per year. JUST accommodation. I still needed food/living money on top of that. ...And it wasn't particularly expensive accommodation. Some people do manage to get the best out of the system though. I guess my parents make just the wrong amount of money Can I ask why you're running a plate in stead of a ring? I can't see any advantages to a plate, and am constantly baffled as to why they're even around any more - much less on the super high end frames. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are 160/165mm try all cranks, they have so little thread on them, its dodgy as f**k to run a bashring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that may have just been luck. I really think they should put more thread on shorter cranks, I don't see any disadvantages that would come from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that, should have milked your parents a bit more. It was only a joke though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmertrials Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Can I ask why you're running a plate in stead of a ring? Frame came with the plate, and I never tend to land to bash. Also lack of access to a grinder in uni halls haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
