  1. DunCon is polish brand which used to make street/dirt frames, then enduro/freeride full suspension frames (and parts for this types of bikes) and now they`ve made a prototype of trials mod frame, but I`m not informed what the exact geo and weight is, maybe Rafal knows a bit more

  2. Lovely machine, I`m really impressed by this frames nowadays. Looking forwrad for seeing some clips on it!

    BTW: is it possible to put tensioners outside the frame? Or just use bolts only, without tensioners? Have You tried it Bigman? I`m really curious how it will work

  3. I`m still drunk after previous night party, so I decided to calculate how many EP`s I`ll have after assembling new hub instead of FFW. Suprisingly I found enough power to create a summary of effective EP`s according to declared engagment points and gear ration. Furthermore, I calculeted how long is route of crank beetwen each EP. It`s not a brilliance or smartness, but just a few minutes of typeing it into excel. I hope that at least one of you will find it useful ;p :D

    cheers

  4. Got BT adaptors for magura pads (but its probably worthless to talk about them), got frame which seems to be suprisingly good and at last got BT front hub - red one, but its the same as white on ur picture. Extra light (170 w/o funbolts) and rly nice. Wheel turns very smoothly and axle seems to be strong enough - i`m quite heavy person and i`m learning front moves at the mo and it is still in one piece ;)

  5. Exactly what mine do, they hold well when the wheels turning in one direction but dont hold when its turning the other way. :S

    Same situation after grinding the rim? B`cause i grinded mine and it now holds in both directions, no cons of them now

  6. Pads: Ali C's JoyPads

    Time used: 2 months

    Rim used: TryAll

    Grind: Sharp fresh grind

    Ceramic: No

    Brake used: Sram 7.0+Avid levers+XTR brakeset

    What is your opinion of a working brake: Extremly solid

    Other pads used: CRM`s

    How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Much better

    Review: after fitting them in, on not grinded rim they worked extremly loudly and kept well, but only in fornt direction. After grinding rim they became a bit more silent (but however still loudly...) and held solid. They have not worn out at all! Good choice for everyone - they work same in dirt conditions, no matter if it`s raining or not. According to price it`s probably best choice i`ve ever made

  7. Got monty for about 6 months, it skipped twice one day, but during normal ride, not when i was jumping etc. Loud and reliable for me, much cheaper than ENO or TryAll. Think also about tensile - its huge advantage its fully rebuildable construction. But my personal advice is go for hope or king ;p

  8. Got bb7, seen bb5. Excluding adjustability the pads in bb7 are twice bigger than in bb5, and there are some equivalents of them, ie. ones produced by jagwire.

    Suprisingly bb7 is 4 grams lighter than bb5 :D

    I got bb7 at 185 rotor, it`s worth cash i payed for it. With bike I weight about 100 kilos, and it never failed to block the wheel

  9. Rly outstanding vid! I enjoyed it a lot! Imo You got smooth style, and everything You do looks very chilled.

    Could You give me the name of first song (before gorillaz, it`s played for a while and then cutted)? I`ll be thankful ;)

  10. having it for one week, starting to get used to after riding short echo. Feels great, both on back wheel and on two of them. IMHO mid bb rise is smth brilliant ;)

  11. There is no bigger problems with removing wheel from frame with vert dropouts and no chains tensioner - i`d say it`s more comf than with mech changer

    And 22:18 will fit with 385 (i`m sure, tested) and i think it will also work on 375

    btw: have You thought what happen when You decide to change gear ratio? ;)
