JoNnY__Mc Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 that bike must weigh NOTHING i mean i have weighted up a monty... but with all the ti and carbon bits on it it must be ridiculously light if i had the money i would probably do the same though...

hugh_b Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 to be honest Adam it's looking rather "pimp".

Geeze lol love to do that "Hmm , i might try those new bars today"haha ^^ nice bike though That might sound a good idea, but if you did that then you cant sell it on as new you would have to sell it as used or not sell it and this money would be comeing out of his pocket so stupid idea really as it would cost a lot of money to keep doing it.

AdamR28 Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Cheers for the replies, glad it seems to be (mostly) liked The headset has been great so far, as said in the news topic its pretty close to a King, no troubles yet anyway!Freewheel mod: perfectly reliable for my riding, not particularly easy to do. It clunked a couple of times when bedding in but nothing at all on my last ride. It involves using 2 short, 2 medium and 2 long pawls (instead of 3 long and 3 short). I had to very carefully grind (file wouldn't touch them) a couple of long ones down, measuring with digital calipers to get them exactly the same length. The shape you need to make them is a little tricky too. Work on both ENOs and Echos. Obviously from a professional point of view I can't recommend anyone else tries it though Despite carefully chosen parts the bike isn't actually that light, around 22lbs I think... which is why it annoys me when people claim their bike is 19lbs or whatever!As for 'trying parts', of course I can do that, but then they are obviously second hand and have to be sold as such! Being around so many different parts and having quite a lot of years experience gives you a very good idea of exactly what you want though, its very rare I'll try something and get rid of it quickly.I was dubious about the Monty bars due to them being quite narrow and having a lot of rise/sweep, but I'm actually in love with them now! They seem to have made the bike feel more nimble and the shape just feels 'right'. Wouldn't mind trying 1/2-3/4" extenders in each end though...Stan's on the video at the moment, should be done within a few days he reckons CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
