gofasterpinch Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 hello everyone. My name is chris and ive been into bikes for ages. i first got into trials 2yrs ago but havent been able to ride much due to me having problems with my back. i recently bought a monty frameset to build my own 26incher which was going well until i bolted a rear wheel into it to find the frame was on the piss! so ive decided to use my Trek Bruiser which ive had for a while, im looking to get into trials and street with it. so far it is pretty standard apart form ive fitted a 32T chain ring. im living in newcastle at uni but im from lancaster originally. im also really into rallying, currently building my own rally car. im also into taking pictures and making videos (mostly skate stuff atm) :turned: Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hi, welcome :turned: i recently bought a monty frameset to build my own 26incher which was going well until i bolted a rear wheel into it to find the frame was on the piss! Do you know that Monty require 25" rear wheels because they're, um, special? So the frame isn't buggered or anything, it's just Monty and their stupid standards.

So the frame isn't buggered or anything, it's just Monty and their stupid standards. yeh i knew that, but that onlt means the brakes dont line up ont back. you can get brackets which bolt into the 4 bolt magura mount on the frame to move the brakes up an inch for 26" rims. i have pics soem where i'll try and dig them out. the wheel was sitting at an angle in the dropouts and the wheel was a really tight squeeze into them. i took it to a frame builder who showed me what was wrong. one side of the rear end was twisted by 5mm so the sidewall off the tyre sat flush againt the rear triangle. here is the only pic i can find atm, i did have one showing the wheel in the frame but i cant find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
