  1. only have the frame left, thats why its the only thing listed with a price, frame is 200 with bb, as new, cheap as the frames were 400 rrp

  2. get an 18t sprocket where the teeth are central rather than offset, then the teeth will be in the same place as on a freewhel, sorted
  3. 110mm takes a standard mod hub but the dropouts are double the thickness to take up the space usually taken up by snailcams
  4. brake cleaner spray should get any contaminant off
  5. phil who run selectbikes now has a bikeshop in maghull, liverpool not sure whether he has any trials stuff anymore best bet would be to ring him on 0151 527 1537
  6. diameter wise he means, the headtube is flush witht he crown of the forks on the sky 2, with this frame, it isnt
  7. it has a different piston size, by a few mm's, hence it not being as powerful as the mono trial
  8. thats the one dude, its been on 3 different frames now and i cant fault it
  9. yo dude, its a crank bros cobalt headset, there ridiculously cheap on crc at the mo, works with the built in crown race on the forks perfectly yeah
  10. they were well usable but welded a little bit wonky, meant the slaves had to be on crazy mad angles for the pads to make aquare contact with the rim to anyone wanting to run a rear disc on one, its an awesome frame for that, same geo as sky 2
  11. i had one of these, such a nice frame to ride, was spot on running a disc, but when i came to run a maggie, the mounts were welded on wonky, just something to check if i were you
  12. I thought the same, iv had these bars on my last bike which i sold and didnt have a single problem, touch wood
  13. Cheers dude, mainly as i can get them trade price from the bike shop i work in and the frame., perk of the job ay
  14. hey guys, just thought id whack a few pics up of my new frame, got this last week, its my second limey 320. iv had a few frames since my first and none have been as comfortable as this for me should be able to guess spec, if not just ask
  15. iv had two and they have both been flawless, never skipped once, id never use anything else
  16. just get a king bmx hub, nuff said
  17. pretty much all bmx forks have integrated crown races, the crown is in such a shape to sit against the bearing eliminating the need for a crown race my 2011 sl forks do, and im sure my trialtechs did aswell http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_forks/echo_sl_20_inch_2011/c13p11618.html <<LIKE THIS im sure i ran my trialtechs as im running the sls now, without a race
  18. pretty sure the forks have an integrated crownrace, take your race off and see if the bearing runs against the forks okay without
  19. that looks better, all black with a few coloured parts i say go for that one
  20. thats ace then yeah marin are the only company iv come across with a true lifetime warranty no questions asked replacement. we'v done quite a few hardtails, only a few full sus frames (all of these are years and years old, some 10years or older) and one guy who hammers his rigid urban "marin point reyes" so much that i think hes on his 3rd frame and 2nd pair of forks
  21. all helmets have to meet the same standards, so its not like youll buy an "unsafe" one by spending less. although the more expensive ones are made to a little bit higher quality and look nicer, but either is better than none
  22. sweeeeet, a mate of mine has an old school klein, pace forks, king hubs, xtr v brakes, sram x0 gripshift old school is cool! wev had plenty of old mount visions in for repair (im a mechanic at a bike shop) youll be happy to know that they last forever, id probably keep the frame if i were you, they are so fun to ride. and on the offchance you do manage to crack it, marin warranty is second to none if you still have the original reciept they just replace it for you. the nearest modern replacement is the new mount vision with a fox rp2 shock, had a few very happy customers when this has been the case.
  23. have a look on ebay for some paces, will go with all your xtr kit sweet they are light as hell aswell http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PACE-RC36-SUSPENSION-FORKS-/140658113623?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item20bfe07c57 or these, are lovely, if you dont mind spending a fair bit come with the v brake boss clamps aswell if you look in one of the pics http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-PACE-RC36-EVO-Pro-Class-EDDIE-IRVINE-forks-stem-/300632771142?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item45ff1c0a46
  24. the only v iv ever ran was an avid single digit 7 on the front, on a grind, with rockman blue cnc pads was far better than any magura iv ever ran, masses of bite and hold, with a good set up and a booster v's are just as good as maggys
