JoNnY__Mc Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Just looking for some reviews on the frame really, have heard of a few bad things but just want to know whether they are true of not...Firstly, are they strong? does anyone know of any snapping/cracking?I heard something about the chainstays and chainstay length being abit messed up as far as chain tension is concerned?and in result this effecting the brake set up?

eskimo Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 You don't need a booster to be fair. If your pads grip well there is no reason you will be pulling hard on your brake. Mine doesn't feel spongy atall. You can see a little flex but it isn't a problem.As for the chain tension, no problems there either. It is perfect without a half link.

Ben@LeicesterTrials Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Trust me Jon, don't go mod it's boring can't tap or front gap a mod for shit I don't think you'll be able to do much on one well epsep from gaps as thats what you getting one for basicley, what you told me on the phone. I think you should stay with a stock, I wished I'd never even gone to mod, I'm so glad i'm back on a stock now though there's lots more stuff for me to do on a stockMods also are crap for rail gaps, can't tap mods very high either, hard to front gap .. there only good for sidehops, you were just getting your taps going down aswell and gaps to front.

eskimo Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I thought people had problems with the cracking somewhere?Unless they were first batch ones... My one was fine that was with a Profile and Viz rear hubs at different points. Also a four bolt booster fitted with a little modification. But it is reccommended that you run some sort of booster.
