I used Smart Guys on my T-Rex for around a year with a Hope Trial brake with absloutely no problems whatever. Really good forks if a little weighty and seriously ugly!!
Dave
thanx
-
does anybody uses smart guy with disk brakes? or used before?
I have a suspicion than it does not strong enough to be surely safe when bb7 onboard. am i right?
-
searched a bit....
didnt found answers on:
Which stem to prefer?
does anybody know about complete onza limey2 bike? what part specs?
-
recently i was offered to buy a Limey2 frame
just want to ask some(a lot actualy =) ) questions to those who is alredy runs limey.
how does it feels?
What is the Geo with 400mm Echo fork?
Which stem to prefer?
and another one: does anybody know about complete onza limey2 bike? what part specs?
-

Come on, "even a chipolata would work with tar" (Tart, ages ago )
You can not say how good brake is then say you use tar, it means fook all, sorry, but it is true!
Adam
show me the maggie that works without tar and grind any well?
even if you use good pads the dust will make them work bad in some hours of riding.....
there tree ways to get you brakes realy to BRAKE:
1)a little of tar on one side of rim
2)a little of grind on both sides
3)a water: put water on rim, brake some and then dry
as for pushing power - avid set flex frame mounts on my pitbull seriously
-
actually there is no need in avid ultimate
im using handmade adaptors+ avid 7+ avid lever+ teflon cable+polyurethane pads+aligator housing and a little of tar
its more than enought to stop rear wheel in any case.
Vees are damn good!
-
using em too
not bad, but space between magura screw hole and Vee console hole on theese adaptors must be shorter, IMHO
-
wait a minute, that video where guy on giant doing front_wheel_gap and lands his face on top of concrete wall?
if so, nice to hear you continue to ride, i realy hope you are ok after such bail, cuz that was scary....
-
nice)
any photos?
whats about gapping on such short cs?
it was as hard as hell to gap on 375mm chainstays(raven6 long) after riding s 385mm ones(pitbull'04)
-
as it has been already said:
gat a lighter chain,lighter tyres(or just another front tyre, back one you have seems ok to me),get rid of rear mech....
-
the headtube angle for 1100 is 70.5 degrees
1065 version have 72 degrees....
huge amount of the frames bought bu russian riders has been broken
-
i used to unplug housing from lever and plug it again. no air.
maybe u will need to drop some additional oil-drops in lever holes to be sure there in no air will be in system
-
staying as close as possible to 1.16 is the best to my mind
for example:
22/19 at 170mm cranks and 22/18 or 18/15 at 175mm is perfect for me
-
i gas nothing fatal will hapen
or , in worst way, maybe frame will be bended abit
-
sidehop to left..
yeah, here is the another interesting question: "chocolate leg/sidehop side combination"
is i sad i am right footed and sidehopping to the left (aha, keep it away from drivetrain...and mesh hanger =) )
-
vees is the right choise ;-)
-
another vote for "right foot forward"
...just like Damon Watson, Craig Lee Scott, Matt Staples and others.... ;-)

use premiere or vegas for editing(both of them understands mov format) and output in non-encoded format then encode with VirtalDub
under Linux use Cinereella, but its damn bugfull(( and mencoder or theora for encoding.
-
the gear ratio must be some close to 1.2 or just a bit easyer
examples:
22/19
21/18
18/15
maybe 18/16
mind that ratio depends on your cranks lenght!
-
I used to have an 04 pitbull long version and the geo was 1085 Wb, 385Cs and +10 BB with echo urban fork
yes, thats right cs are exactly 385mm long not 383 - just measured
-
385! really, f**k thats long
i was sure they are 383mm long ;-)
so the geo(if i remember exactly...):
head tube angle 71 or maybe 71.5
bb rise with 400m fork: 15mm
cs: 383mm
-
right iv got a GU long and i was wondering what the best bar and stem combo is for it... cheers for any help... adrian
actually gu's bb is quite high, if i were u i would get some 110mmx10degrees stem + Zoo risebar
souds uncofmortable to you? then maybe 20 degrees VIZ stem, but not higher
