Muel Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Hi everyone, just thought that I would post up some pics of my 24" Trek 220, its about the wierdest spec you will ever hear of! I have done loads of mods to it, including snapping and rewelding the forks at one point, they are still strong...Any way here is the spec:FRAME: Trek Mountaintrack 220 24"FORK: Trek Mountaintrack 220 24"WHEELS: Emmelle 24" (Upgraded because I wore through the sidewalls in the original rims, which then blew off)FREEWHEEL: Tensile, until I get an ACS.SPROCKET: Onza 12t, the hub is screw on but designed for a screw-on block, so I had to put the spacer that came with my echo cranks in to get the chain line right.BB: Onza Square TaperCRANKS: Echo 6061, until I get an ACS to put on my old musclemans, then I can put the onza bash back on.CHAIN: Some old black thing in a box in the shedBARS: Renthal motorbike bars with 40mm chopped off either side! (They're huge!)STEM: TrekSEATPOST: Trek:SEAT: Some old XC thing with "flite" written on it.HEADSET: I have no Idea, It has the original cups and cones, but I mashed the earings so it doesn't have a cage anymore, just lots more bearings!BRAKES: The original Tektro arms with some fibrax pads that were in the shed and Shimano Altus levers.PEDALS: Mongoose BMX Pedals.I think thats it, let me know if I have forgotten anything, I'll edit the list.The gearing is abit high on 18:12 but its mint for more streety stuff, I would rather run 18:14, does anyone have a 14t sporcket that they want to sell for next to nothing? I am trying to spend as little as possible on it.Heres some pics: Edited January 19, 2007 by KuelMuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 O dear lord.... why?Any chance of seeing you riding it? For comedy value only.Its only for messing about on until I get a new mod frame, mine has snapped, and i had all the bits for it so it has cost me nothing so far, its pretty fun to ride anyway, untilyou try to get up anything bigger than a curb...

Muel Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 LOL! Those Echo cranks...They are going to be changed, they look a bit out of place really...Its probably going to have to come apart again soon, my Dad is trying to weld my T-PRO for the third time...but this time he is putting a huge gusset all the way down the down tube.

Muel Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Why are you getting an ACS free wheel when you have a tensile? Bit silly! should UP grade to a try-all or EnoIsnt a tensile better than an ACS..?And those echo cranks better than musclemans??Id love to see a vid of you riding it, how long have you been riding?I actually ride a T-PRO, but the frame snapped. So I thought I'd have a play.When I get my new MOD frame, the echo cranks and the tensile will go on that, but I may want to keep this running, so I am going to get an ACS to put on with my old musclemans, with the onza bashring.i looked all over, but i could only find one word to describe that stem, GODLIKE!I may change the stem for something more "trialsy" problem is it has a screw-down headset, so I only have some old XC things, but its worth a try, it does feel a little short...Dads almost finished welding the T-PRO, so it might be coming to bits later this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Honestly, not joking, this was the best skatepark bike I have ever ridden.I hate BMXs, they are too small, and my Scott YZ0 was only any use for going very, very fast on the road or on 4X tracks.
