  1. It's built by the guys at Tartybikes and not used for more than a couple of hours, so I'd guess it is. (not sure what "dished" means but I suppose it has to do with proper spoke tension)
  2. When braking, the wheel is pushed noticeably to one side. Why is this happening? How can one side of the brake be "weaker" than the other? Thanks! Edit: Or maybe it's not the Magura itself that is the problem, I don't know.
  3. where do you buy the 26" inch gu i have loooked evreywhere

  4. Sorry about the horrible taken-with-cellphone-and-sent-to-my-e-mail quality... Frame: Gu Le '08 Forks: Echo Urban Stem: Trialtech Sport Forged Bars: Trialtech Sport Riser Front brake: Avid BBDB 160 mm with a Shimano XTR lever Front wheel: Mavic hub and rim Rear brake: Magura '05 Pads: Try-All Croco Reds Brake booster: Tensile Rear wheel: Echo TR hub and Echo TR rim Bottom bracket: Trialtech Race ISIS Cranks: Truvativ Husslefelt Bashring: Salsa (don't ask) Pedals: Wellgo B-54 Chain: Trialtech K810 Kool Freewheel: ACS Claws After the pictures were taken, I actually changed the Tensile 4-bolt booster to a Try-All 2-bolt because it gives a better brake feeling (the brake holds a lot better and makes more noise). Guess the stiff Tensile booster combined with the flexy frame wasn't a good combination? The brake was awesome when going backwards but poor when going forwards, lol. Peace!
  5. You're using one finger braking only at all times?
  6. Haha, sweet. It's faster to order from you guys than from shops here in Sweden. Always a pleasure!
  7. Thanks for the replies, I decided to go with the Trialtech bars. Looking forward to getting them in the mail, Adam!
  8. Hi, I'm looking for a new stem/bars combo and was thinking about a Trialtech Sport Forged stem and Sport Riser bars. The V!Z Pro720 bars seem nice too though, so I'd like a little feedback from people that have tried them. My bike is a Gu Le 08, 1085 mm WB and I am about 6 ft tall. Thanks!
  9. What size will fit the GU?
  10. Hi, I'd like to know the geometry for the GU LE 08 26" frame. Www.gubikes.com does not seem to work? I currently ride a Koxx Levelboss 05 and wondered if my current parts (forks and BB) will fit on the GU? Thanks!
  11. I have the same frame, it rides nicely! It's from 05 or 06.
  12. Yeah that's what I meant, and you describe my problems precisely! Thanks for the replies
