toyota200x Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Shimano FFW. Lets here about how you made that work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baladi Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) we have a local rider that tought of the posibillity of this, and he calculated the dimensions so that he could give a normal crank to a worker on a turning machine to modify it.the crank is threaded, and a pre made steel mechanical sleeve is put on there to make conection between the FW and the crank. and it holds up great. no problems iet on anybody.this option is pretty convenient, thus it costs you smth like 6 pounds. in addition, at extra charge(4pounds) he'll give you a steel bashring(pretty heavy:( ). you only nead a 127mm BB and it works. please ask specific questions if you dont understand smth...my techincal english is not very good.

Why are your leavers on weird?From: RomaniaBecause every other country except Australia runs their levers on the other side of the bars, and drives on the other side of the road.

monkeymoped Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 never seen one of those frames before but looks sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Jsy Chris Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I have never seen a frame like that either. Yellow looks nice, but the gold bars dont go IMO. But still a very nice bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 To be fair, I think having the levers the other way around makes sense but meh.Nice bike, frames lush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baladi Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 the frame is Magellan Tucana 2005 (magura version: 1080, 385,+2) . they all snap at the same spot: upper side of the downtube at the joint with the headtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
