Rumour Has It...

I've heard a rumour that someone on here has built a frame which allows you to run the Surly Large Marge rim (65mm). I don't know if its a trials frame though? My source indicated Wright Pads would know more...

If true may I see some pics please! Pretty please with sugar on top!

PS: I been think of getting one of those rims myself drilling it silly and seeing how it would perform.

Someone did being my self and Alan my old boss at Bike Workshop.

We used a 100mm BB shell, straight plates off the shell to the stays.

Geo was +40mm BB, 1090wb, 72*

I still have the rim in the atic as it goes but the frame is no more as it was stolen from the shop about a year ago.

I might have pics on my server but i can unpack it as i only have 1 working leg and need 2 as it's a heavy milf.

If you want the rim i can get pics and you'll have to speak to me off the forum.

No current frame will run the rim on a rim brake, disc yeah but nowt eles. I even bodged my Pashely to run it but it wasn;t good!

It worked in my coust with some offset Magura mounts and i had to rasie them up with spacer to clear the frame.

Bigman and I drilled the rim. I am the only one here to of had it by the looks.

Sounds awesome and yeah I would like to see the photos. I would be running with a rear disc so no problems there. My email is fred.trial@gmail.com if you prefer to speak off forum.
