N.Wood Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 The thinner the better. Whatever the 'standard' size is, it's only going to vary a couple of mm either side, which i doubt wil be noticeable. I've never thought 'ooh, i'd love this bike, but the top tubes too fat.. Better buy another one'Just don't be retarded and go all Diamond Back T1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Just don't be retarded and go all Diamond Back T1.How wide is one of them then?ie: how many inch's wide between the inner of your knees you think is okay for the tubes to be? This is going to be a good width mind!!My headtube i'm using is 39mm OD, that will go up a bit more i think pending what i use as part of mistery term X and then the other mister X parts are 16mm all in so it could be...62mm wide!!!62mm on my Coust V2 is just past the last of the welding were the top tube join the two seatstays!So yeah guess i could say is 62mm deamed okay as a width of ''toptube'' or the void between you knees/inner legs when rididng a bike (not off bike or eles where) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hands sweat see and the table gets the covering and the felts pads on the mouse do the rest!! Mind i have hold of the thing for a good 12 hours day least and easyDidnt that gest asked when that Vario Styx came out, that has a 100mm bb. All i've done is thusTake a 100mm bb, fitetd a set of burns and form the drive side bearing thread measure all the way tothe taper on the burns, you can have +5mm on any BB shell if you run burns! Then i got a tube, machined it down, lather in two rings, too kthe BB and machine it down to fit inside the shell, checked it all with cranks, hey presto leeson bb style but uber wide100mm BB shell/yoke offers maximum stiffness and stability. Wide BB shell also provides huge tyre clearance.Oh and cos i'm me and cos i can! Edited July 30, 2006 by Wright Pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Anyone?? Do you think 69mm wide ''toptube'' is too wide for the likes of you, yes/no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_dude217 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 i like fatter downtubes because they don't look like they are going to brake but they are still light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Yeah but one being 69mm wide is that gonna be okay with you and work okay for you...thats the question not do you like thin or fat!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bite me Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Anyone?? Do you think 69mm wide ''toptube'' is too wide for the likes of you, yes/no?alot actually depends on how low the top tube will be or if it is curved i mean i used to ride a t-comp and that was really wide and flat but low and bent so was ok whereas others are thin and high but its all personal preference and also if you wanna sit on it when u get tired lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) I personally would be fine with a 69mm toptube but i can't speak for everyone as everyone will have different views. I say bring on something new and ingenious to the trials world . Edited July 31, 2006 by Krisboats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
