Gonna update as soon as i get more parts.. Thanks for the comment.. Cheers! If the tensioner doesn't work try upwards tensioning it, and holding it upwards with a thick cable tie..... depends on chain length but for some reason i can see that loosing tension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall_Rob Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Montys' are made for discs!You've gotta run that bike with double discs dude, it will look awesome.Imagine how smooth it will ride. No squeeks or brake squeelling.Plus the discs will finish the look of that bike off beautifully.I think you should consider it but it's your build so will leave it up to you.Great work so far though and think i may try and take up a simillar project, it looks satisfying to start from scratch and get a great bike at the end to either ride or sell.Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i though it was the Magura brake squeelling that made trials worth riding? Thanks for the comment! Cheers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
