Prawny Baby Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 well, after a few weeks waiting on bits to come into stock, the ashton has finally arrived i was lucky enough to get £1700 to spend at tartybikes from my insurance Co after my new ashton was stolen just over a month ago.heres the result!a few things left to do still, waiting on a heatsink booster, and some bits for the hope braided hoses (need to call you about that ad) and waiting on stock for the new k24 200mm front brake, and a kmc thin chain.other than that, shes perfect!yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Pawn, That looks freekin AWESOME. The only thing I'd change is try and get the tensioner abit tighter. They dont really appeal to me the Rolhoffs, but if they work, its all that matters Anyway, one of the best Ashton's I have seen, Maybe I'll jump on the bandwagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 UR old bike used to be blue everything nick...bike looks shit i hate it. it was only ever blue hubs dave! and i was forever trying to get rid of them! but could never afford to change my king for a black/silver one!given the chance now ive gone with a colour scheme that will fit with any bike i get in future i could get another two links out of the chain, but i was in a hurry and the tension is so strong i couldnt join the chain with it tighter and couldnt be botehred to get something to hold the arm u while joined it ill get a proper chain and run it tighter really soon the echo CNC lever blade feels GORGEOUS too, although the frames horribly flexy without a decent booster so i cant really tell you how the brake is going to feel until its setup properly, but the blade is really comfy on your finger.it rides perfectly too, and im liking the 16/14 gearing again!and yes rob that is my spangly new car, and its AWSOME!best thing is, that the bike fits in the back without taking the front wheel off! just pop the seats down and throw it in!

Heatsink Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Very smart Nick!Sorry for the delay getting the booster to you - I've been unable to get to a PC for the past week. You should have it Tuesday this week.Have you worked out how to run a wide chain in the Rohloff tensioner? Any quick fixes would be gratefully received because I've got a spare one I'd like to ressurect for use with a KMC chain.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
