db-t20 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) Well firstly i will begin by saying that i have the Diamondback T20 trials bike. It has maggies on front and rear and two 20" wheels(MY PROBLEM!!)Well i was just about to order some rims and tyres etc from tartybikes and noticed one thing lol. That both of my wheels are 20".I was wondering is there a way around this. because i cant use 19" rims , because of obvious reasons, (brake setup, freewheel and chain setup, etc etc)Anyone else know a way around this ??? help is really apreciated on this matter, and also if i need to get a new bike, anyone know of the best onza's ? thinking about the t-mag Thnks.

Ash-Kennard Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 you will need a different frame to rin a different sized wheel for the brakes to work, which is probably for the best if your on a db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) Why not? try that, you don't need a new bike you silly bums, it's only a wheel.Problem solved.ORBUT they're out of stock.

ytr_rich Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 easy way around that would be buy an onza front wheel and get a rear hub on it all sorted had to do it myselfhope this helps rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) Oh for f**k sake... I'm having exactly the same problem building up a T-Vee for a mate... all I could think of (but haven't tried yet) is setting up the evo mounts upside-down? Could work... And what ever you do, don't get a T-Mag. As soon as you get reasonable good you will hate it. Trust me, I started off with a T-Mag, was completely happy with it for about it year until I landed on the bash plate after attempting to get up a wall and the frame just cracked. That was the end of that. Get a T-Pro if you want a good value frame! Edited December 4, 2006 by Mr_Tensile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny_smith Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 why don't you just buy a echo front rim and use it on the back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 You could go onto the 'alans bmx' website and get some axle adaptors takes your 14mm frame down to 10mm thus allowing you to run a proper rear hub/rim and sh*t.....Hopefully.zoo baby!

bionicman Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) There is a way around this a mate of mine dozydame put a 19" wheel on the back of a t-vee the chain tension was fine and the brake worked pretty well the only thing is the brake has to be angled downwards Edited December 5, 2006 by bionicman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Right then I've got this one sorted for you mate.Rear tyre, buy this:http://www.bikedock.com/posit/shop/search.php (the top one).Rims, buy an Echo (07) or Try All front rim, cos they are about as big as 20" rears and get it built onto your original hub.Or buy a T-PRO, if you have that much.

Muel Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Seriously, never ever buy a T-Mag, my mate has one, its all right spec wise, but feels all fat, if you no what i meen. The T-Pro feels more like a competition bike, strong yet lightened and more refined. I prefer a ground maggy on the front anyway, and thats the only difference to the spec!

db-t20 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 lol m8, wish i never had the dam thing now... its a nice bike to ride but its too much hassle because of the stuff.
