  1. So if I use a front 160mm caliper at the rear I will need a 140mm disc? If thats correct I rather use a +40 adaptor then a +20 one to use a 180mm disc on the rear. If you look at tartys the +40 adaptor moves the caliper on a diffrent/nicer way than the +20 one does. The +20 seams to move the caliper so far from the discmount on the frame while the +40 moves it more "up" rather than "out".

  2. 200mm caliper does not even exist... If you buy a brake with 200mm rotor on tarty you get it with +20mm or +40mm adaptor to use on the front 180mm/rear 160mm caliper

    Crap, why cant they do diffrent size calipers for every rotor. I think that an adaptor just weakens the break. I guess a 160mm rotor will be to small as a rear brake.

  3. you need a +20mm adaptor on the rear, couse the BT has a internatinel standard mount. the rear 160mm caliper is the same as a front 180mm caliper.

    But if I use a 200mm front caliper at the rear, will that work with 180mm rotor? Call me an idiot but I think this is weired and annoying!

  4. If you would like to go dual disc on a BT Raven 7.0 with a Zoo pitbull fork and you want to use 180mm rotors, do you have to use the Hope +20 adapter for the calipers or is there calipers that would fit right on. I would prefer not to use any adaptors if thats possible, and is there any diffrens between front and rear except that the levers are vice versa.

  5. oh my god i just read a topic about this company been really $h!t but now iv seen this its changed my mind!

    Yeah, I have read alot of crap about them to but I took a chance and ordered this frame and its brilliant, realy nice work by them!

  6. No its not, and its damn nice ;)

    You by anyone knows that :D

    That is PBs old one isnt it? Looks nice.

    No its not, the frame and some of the parts is the same as on his bike so they kind of looks the same.

  8. ^^Second! I always just ask the shop that sells the hub for spokes. Even if you're not buying them together Tarty should have no problem pulling out the right spokes for you.

    Tarty gave me the measurments for the hubs. They would have helped me with spoke lenght if they could, but I got Zhi rims and they dont know the ERD for them. Now when I have the hub measurments and I measured the ERD my self (bit tricky to get that exact) I use DT spokecalculator and Im just fine. Seems like 264mm should work both sides, front and rear.

  9. if you have the hub you could try measuring it?!?

    Well, I dont have the hubs yet thats why I would like to know so I can order spokes.

    If you have the hub measure the whole flange and then just half it. You should be able to get it fairly acurate.

    Dont know if I understand you, but if I want to know the diameter of the flange why should I measure it and the half it?

  10. I got some alloy bolts laying around. I allready use some for the rear maggie but can I use them for the front disc and the steam to? I mean alot of the parts on the caliper are made of aluminium and are not very thick. And the stem clamp is made of aluminium and are not very thick either. Will the bolts realy snap?

  11. I have a wheel built up with DT competetion spokes (2.0-1.8-2.0). Now Im going to build a new wheel and wounder if the DT Revolution spokes (2.0-1.5-2.0) is good/strong. It will save some weight anyway but Im not sure if they are strong enough. Has anybody tried them?

    you cant go wrong with that guide

    I had a wheel built by a local shop and I was not happy with it but I never complained about it. After that I bought some good tools and used that guide and started to build my own wheels. If you use that giude its not that hard, my first wheel turned out to be realy good. Just take the time and there will be no problem. Its actually realy fun building wheels, and a nice fealing knowing you can do all the work on your bike by your self.
