Mark W Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Nah, I just remembered before a frame had guides there that people used to whinge about. You won't have a cable on both sides either, seeing as there's guides both left and right sides of the top-tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't have a cable on both sides either, seeing as there's guides both left and right sides of the top-tube Ah so there is didn't see the one on the other side i'm sure they'll make some kind of rubber frame to knee protection peice that will save some riders unwanted pain Whats with all these mods without bashguard mounts nowadays, thats one of their most defineing features. We've got mod-stock and stock-mods now happened to the normal bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Seeing as they've made one, and you havn't, i'd imagine they know more than you at least.I doubt anyone went to the hassle of welding that on, it's most likely a catalogue componant that has had that guide put on at manufacture, before anyone even thought those tube's would be used for a trials bike.True, I have never made a bike. I've also never written and book so does that mean I can't point out the faults in books either?!?!?Joking aside, I wasn't aware that manufacturers used catalogue components, that would explain it, so for the third time I WAS WRONG.I'll stick to what I know and say that I like the colour Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Now that people are firing out bashes for FFW cranks, it kinda makes sense to run a lightweight ring instead of a big plate of metal with a big rubber elastomer, some other blocks of metal you've got to weld onto the frame and so on? They work well on stocks, so it makes sense to try them out on mods too. Bashrings sorta distribute the force of an impact to bash away better too, instead of putting the strain in the middle of your downtube and on the rear of the BB yoke? Either way, I'm all for bashrings The other cable guides - nothing a file couldn't sort out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsy Ben Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Maybe the cable mounts are for if you want to run a cable disc or a vee-brake ? Mods with no bash-guards is how the future looks, espically with Marks point about FFW+bashrings pressure stuff. Maybe Cigeuna have thought this through more than we think...

Mark W Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 The one on the right seat-stay isn't a cable guide though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26inch Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Dont think dropouts will work that well as the bolts will limit getting chain tension right as you dont have to move your wheel far to effect the tension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 it lost its appeal when i worked out it was a mod to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickyw Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Look's like a bt raven 5.0 and a mission reefer all glued together. Does look swish though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) The one on the right seat-stay isn't a cable guide though...What else could it be there though? Unless I'm missing something! Looks like one, flat at one end rounded at the other!Davey Edited August 11, 2006 by Small_Gear_Big_Style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 The cable guides on both sides are so foreign people can have there levers the wrong way round and still run the cable down whichever side they want. If they've got cable guides for hat, they'll probably ahev some for V-brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V brakes are up the top of the seatstays, not all the way down there, and the disk mount is on the other side.... I still think Jake's suggestion was most likely, because there is NOTHING other than gears at that point on any bike!Davey Edited August 11, 2006 by Small_Gear_Big_Style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I reckon it's shit anyway. Looks like an old brisa.Doubt it'll sell very well to be honest..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) Why are we still talking about cable guides Spoke to the blokes at Ciguena and it's a prototype so I guess the the guides won't be there on the production version.

baz123 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 yeah, its definitely a mod, looks like a sweet frame though. maybe the cable guides are for the disks, who knows:P when is it coming out as i might consider buying one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunn_bmixx Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I could be wrong but I don't think it's a mod frame:1. Brake mounts look like stock positioning2: I can see a gear cable guide on the gear side seat stay3: I can see another gear cable guide on the gear side of the downtube4: I can't see any bash plate mountsIt's a stock for sure!Davey number 2 : This is a guide for a disc as it looks aswell number 3Number 4 : not all mods have to have a bash Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
