Alun Goch Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hey, i ride a 05 t-mag spec2, and im in love!I find it really nice to ride, and feel right at home on it.But then again it's my first decent bike (I started on a Base t20).What I have noticed, and alot of people tell me too, is that it does feel slightly larger up front, which I must say I got used to very quickly, and I now find it more comfortable.Only problembs I've had are1) I managed to crossthread the titanium bolts that come with the RB booster into the maggy mounts 2) The chain seems REALLY close to the frame, just where the seatstay comes from the dropouts, and Ive discovered it has been digging into the frame abit 3) The ACS freewheel that came with the bike was absolute w@nk and lasted only a few hours of riding (it was first time i came across this problem so i had no idea what to do, didnt even think about tightening it, just assumed it was broken!!) and managed to go through about 5 of them in 6 weeks, some outlasting others. I had my dad 'borrow' me some RAF (military approved) loctite from his work, which lasted a while, but eventually came loose. I then had my local garage weld one for me, still going strong 4) Oh yeah, and having so many new freewheels, i had to obviously, take the old ones off, which was hell!! I think it was Supercycles that sent me a free tool with their replacement ACS, which didnt fit, so I had to get my old man to make a tool, with a huge lever, about a meter, no shit, and I turned while he pressed it down into the freewheel!!The last one I took off was the worst, and even with copperslip (anti seize grease) on the thread before it was put on, it just wouldn't budge!! Soooo I put it in the over, then rushed it outside and did the same thing, but with gloves!! And it just about budged.I now have a rather bling gold driveside crank!! I think its the laquer thats changed colour.I think I might put the other one in sometime.... BLING BLING5) Got a sweet haircut (on my shin) within 15 mins of my bike been put together, after a failed pedalspin, much to my dads amusement But apart from this, sheas beauty, and like I said, I'm in loveAlun(wow did I really write that much?!~) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawnmowerman Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Cracked one in 5 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Plod Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Haven't had mine long. Had tons of problems in terms of getting bits from my old Monty X-Lite 01 to fit the T-mag so had to get my wheels built up and such and such. But now its all complete its well nice. Feels really nice but only concern is that the front feels a bit too low for me but thats probably my bar and stem set up so think a new set of each is required on payday Overall a really nice bike, just got to get used to it.
