MasterOfGussets Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Since you suggested this frame to me it's grown on me... now seeing that it looks very nice built up I'm definately thinking about it.Could you tell me the bb shell size, headtube diameter, tyre clearence, etc?

Ali Courtney Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Looks great with Bright green rims.Looks like you are running a mech saver, if so how well does it work ? Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 the b/b width is 68mm, you will probs need to run summit like a Try-All 127mm B/B or an FSA Platinum DH B/B.the headtube is 1 1/8"tyre clearance buddy is STUPID!!!! you could get like a 3" tyre in the TOP & BOTTOM!!!! its absolutly BEAST.with my mech saver,dependant on which yhub you have you do the following:the mech save comes with a "Q/R End" piece, cut it off flat, drill the hole to 5.5mm or summit, so that a "Bolt in wheel" like a try-all hub the bolt with the M5 thread will fit through it. then tighten it up if you run a Hope Pro2 T you need to "grind" the beefy bit Flat. the bit that sticks out. i have done this on my Caisso. and i SWEAR to you all. a mech saver if you are left foot or right foot forward doesnt matter, will save you ££££ on mech hangers put one on from the begginning and you'll be SAFE! 4eva. bashed mine to bits on both bikes and both my hangers are perfect also i dont know if you have noticed but mine is silver, thats a Marin one. instead of the Onza one (i have the black one on my Caisso), depends if your "colour Co-ordinated" like me LMAO!!! NOT Waynio..........................any more questions fire away and i will answer them. if you want a "tyre clearance" picture let me know and i will do it when i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfGussets Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Sorry, forgot to ask this before... is clean-bikes.co.uk the only place to get it in the UK? (Last I checked they don't list a price). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 tyre clearance buddy is STUPID!!!! you could get like a 3" tyre in the TOP & BOTTOM!!!! its absolutly BEAST. I think I'd rather have a slightly slimmer yoke and have the ability to run Middleburns or whatever with a 22t ring though, for me. Seems like that guy's having trouble putting a 22t ring + bash (or just a 22t-sized bash in general) on with his Bow frame. Not ideal, but there we go. Plenty of suave FFW cranks out now so no big deal I guess?Looks awesome anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An_toin3 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 i'm the guy having trouble this isn't funny, but i'll have to deal with it !!, Frame look so beautiful !,Better when you see it with your own eyes !, i was amazed when i saw mine for the first time which is today As Waynio said, the tyre clearance is huge just can't wait to get on it for the first time Here's mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 the 16t middleburn bash would fit but yes the 22t may cause probs.is it only the drive side your having problems with????if so you could possibly get around it depends how much "room" it needs????Waynio.....................no you will be able to get em from aire valley and koxx uk aswell as cleanbikes (i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a 20T would fit, but my bash is too big, so i really need some new cranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 what does it need??? 2mm/3mm???? if so use your existing b/b, put a spacer on the driveside thats about 3/4mm wide and then tighten the left hand cup "into" the frame a bit more, this may work i have found it has with some of my previous frames, as an example i got away with using a 68/113 !!!! b/b on an ashton justice with tensile cranks about 2 1/2" years ago. if you can get better pictures and closer ones for me to have a look @ An_toin il give you a hand in sorting it out???Waynio.......................

ben_travis Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 After riding it last weekend (one of the first to i think) I must admit that even though waynios set up is nothing like mine, it actually rode quite well. Yes this was suprising to me as im used to the +55mm bb and super low bar set up.The colours are manky IMO, but its because the bike rides well that ill let it off .Nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergy Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 i love the colours and cnt wait to have a go at fort william if ur there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Riding position looks about spot-on to me. I think a higher front end is better, but hey, we've all got preferences.As for the crank issue... wouldn't a super-long BB do the trick with Middleburns, like a 127mm axle?

danny B Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 it looks ok, saw it at koxx days not bad really doesn't make me jump up and down though but not bad as long as he rides it well, onza pedals definently finish it nicely hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 LMAO!!!! prize to danny B!!!i was waiting for someone to notice them yes "Synergy" il be up at fort william, as i say, just push me away from the bike or take it off me Riding position looks about spot-on to me. I think a higher front end is better, but hey, we've all got preferences.your riding preference is like me Snappel im way too old for this low front end malarky hehe. "OLD" skool trials set up.i think the dude has a 127mm b/b so it still may struggle a bit, but if you put a spacer to the driveside it may JUST get clearance.Waynio...................
