eskimo Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I guess most people have seen those 26" mod frames now. I seen them at Tartybikes but are they featured any where else?What are your thoughts on them?Might be a nice change to ride one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medwaytrials Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) 26" frames that have been modified with horisontal drop outs and holes for snail cams and 116mm hub spacing. Well I dont like the hub spacing and surley the wheel will be pulled out, there is alot more preasure on 26" hubs then 20".

medwaytrials Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 With the hub spacing what i meen is you will not be able to use common stock hubs like the pro 2 and chris king. There will be more preasue pulling the wheel out of line or pulling the chain loose as the there is more preasure on chains on a 26 inch due to the gearing being lighter to pull round the larger wheel. Also the wheel only needs to move a little and the tyre will be way to the left if you get what i meen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
