onzatpro09 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Is that frame 135mm spacing or is the hub machined down? I like the idea of having a mod along side my 24 but don't trust FFWs and want to run dual disc Very very good looking BTW. The brakes look really good on it, just need some black unground rims now Edited September 6, 2014 by onzatpro09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Like this a lot. Shame I can't get a pro2 on my 24, its 116 rear. I'd get a pro2 bmx but the smallest cog they do is 15t. May be a bit light on a 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yeah so Ian from hope told me. But 12t would be way too harsh on a 24", unless I drop down to 16-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzatpro09 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 thanks mate aren't they meant to be bringing out a 12t version soon? There aren't disc mounts on the BMX hubs are there? I might (hopefully) be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsbikingnunn Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 how does that front brake work? i have one spare and im debating whether to use it Do you mean how well does it work?

jack dickinson Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Do you mean how well does it work? It seems pretty good but I've only had one ride on it well i know it works asthetically because i have the matching hubs, but wondered if it worked as good as any other top disc brake.

Callum219 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Smooth the rims and then spray paint them. cheap fix until you have the funds for new rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a non-question. There isn't really much of a comparison between a Mono Mini and a Saint, stick the Saint on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
