picki Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 its not a bianchi, its a crescent with bianchi stickers/special paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Make Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 (edited) its not a bianchi, its a crescent with bianchi stickers/special paint! ← But still they were sold as "Bianchi" trial frames... So it is not a Crescent Illionois that have been painted after purchasing. Martin Kleivard (Sweden) bought all the rest 20 Bianchi frames, stripped the paint and refinished them in a nice cameleont purpleish to green color.

Janson Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Exactly. Kleivard sells the frames, but I guess they're quite pricy! Nice frames though... Not very mainstream UCI though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 The rotor is just stupid and i cant figure out if the magura is all carbon or just a carbon cover :lol: How does the stem cap work :lol: ← Thats just plain silly. yeah whats the deal with the top cap?? ← or it could be a normal stem cap with carbon firbe sheeting stuck on it???? can you not see a slight dimple in the middle of it???

Janson Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I explained the top cap before. It is pressed over a normal domed aluminium cap. The edges on the CF cap sits around and under the normal cap, so it stays put. I've lost mine though. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials tom_s Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I quite fancy a set of those carbon covers for my magura's. i didnt get the whole post about what the cost was and spacers and what i had to measure etc etc... i aint no good at currancy coversion... and i aint tech enough with bikes to understand what to measure... sumone fancy helping me out. if not i'll just leave them..but i think they wud look really at home and tarty on my bike. cheers Tom. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 (N) :P :P :P ...... I always thought "Carbon" was a different thing to "Carbon Fibre" Another simple lesson learnt :D ← carbon is a different thing to carbon fibre! :D go stick some bread in your toaster, burn it, and the black shite is carbon :P don't think you could make a disc rotor out of it though! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XE.com's usually up there with the latest rates :D Edit: Whack a spacer on the driveshell, as the spacers don't take up all of the shell, so measuring it all won't give you an accurate measurement. Line up the ring to where you want it, measure from the side of the spacer nearest the hub shell to the nearest (and closest part) of the sprocket you're gonna use, and then do it on the other side to the end of the driveshell :D Edited March 8, 2005 by Dave Gill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials tom_s Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Thanks Dave, im appreciate the diagram.. and im sure alot fo arty effort went into it buddy! but i dont see how a diagram of a hub etc cud provide me with the details i need to purchase carbon magura covers! . lol..thankyou though.

Da Make Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 carbon magura covers! .Tom :blink: ← Information? HS-33 = one size fits all, his email: mika.makinen "at" fintrial.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials tom_s Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) hmmmm.. i though somewhere on the post it said there was something i had to measure or something. Magura covers are 10€, and S/s spacer kits are 15€ (both sides). You have to measure what sizes you want yourself, and he'll whack you up a set. He's able to make them to 0.1mm tolerances. thats the quote above if its worked correctly. unless i miss read it...and it was talking about the spacer thingy for the hub/cassette.. ooh i dont know.. i just fancy them magura covers!! Tom. (im such a muppet!!!.. the measuring refers to the spacers to space out the single speed cog etc..right?!) god im blonde!!!

Da Make Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 ( http://www.fintrial.com/images/parts/maguracarbon1.JPG ) Mika asked me to put this pic here to clear out this Magura cover issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
