Had my first proper ride today on the Simtra, it feels so much better than my '05 Pitbull frame did, really nice on the back wheel. Going to try a steeper stem and go back to my risers and see how i get on. The front seems a little low and flat (if you know what i mean) The back brake is a little better but have been using tar all day, il give it a few more rides before i re-grind the rim i think. Cheers for all your help Guys Rob.

It dosnt seem to be flexing, not that i can see anyway. If anything my pitbull flexed more! Maybe it is just a case of bedding the pads back in? Think I need to do a bit of trueing work with my rear wheel aswell, I think the wheel was dished over by the last owner to fit the pitbull. It seems to be limiting my adjustment on one side, the caliper is pushed right back in the mount.

Hi, I've now built up my new Simtra frame only to find my rear brake has lost its bite and noise. On my pitbull frame my rear maggie was quite loud and would bite hard without a booster but now it is silent and dosn't hold at all? Any Ideas what this could be? Anyone else had a Simtra that could shine some light? Thanks Rob.

Its a long, are you sure its 30?............. It dosn't feel that high?

I have an 05 pitbull, Does anyone know the bottom bracket rise of one? Il shortly be swapping to a Simtra frame and just wondered what the difference is. Any help appreciated. Rob

Try un-doing your stem bolts then tighten your top cap bolt and re-tighten your stem bolts again. That should do the trick mate!

Im runnig 16:13 on my stock pitbull

Right im getting a charcoal Simtra for Christmas and just wondered who's also got one as they sold out pretty quick at tartybikes. Anyone got any pictures they can post?, I'm getting inpatient waiting for Christmas day and need to see one built up. Post away.

Didnt you just buy that frame? Why did you spray it? Looks good though!

Thanks, all sorted now.

Can you please pm me your e-mail address, need to get intouch about something

Good stuff!

No worries, you can never miss a bargain!

Thought i'd share this with you guys as i've just bought one myself. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rohloff-Speedhub-Cha...A1%7C240%3A1318 After all this is what forums are for..... giving people a heads up!

Hi, I'm planning on spending £150ish on a new frame soon and I just wondered which one would be best to build up? Tarty have a good deal on with the Simtra and Echo pure 08 frames both falling within my budget and i just wondered which you guys would recommend? Are there any other frames out there that would be better for the money? Thanks in advance

Do you have a good word to say about anything?

Gay!

I like it! So much in fact im going to get one. Does it ride nice? Long or short?

Is it a long or short frame?

Looking good, been thinking of buying an echo 08 frame myself, Ithink this has convinced me Good work!

Hi guys, been looking to replace my bash but having middleburns sort of limits me to this http://www.heatsinkbikes.com/?p=cloud9 or a super pro. Does anyone have a picture of it on the bike as there isn't a good picture on the site. Thanks Rob

Cool, some ideas there, thanks. What are peoples views on echo fixed hubs? Are they any good? And also the Adamant, Czar, Gu free hubs which all look similar are these strong enough for the job? Or should i just go down the Hope route and be done with it?

Hi guys, im looking to buy a new rear wheel soon and wanting to save a bit of weight without spending a ridiculous amount of cash Looking for a light setup but not feather light and not super heavy either. So what you guys using? Also what tyres do you recommend? I'm running a Maxxis high roller 2.5 at the moment and i think thats also contributing to my obese bike weight.

Is that Mr Ben Johnston I can see in those pics? Sweet images, we rode there yesterday with him for a bit, Top Rider!!

Hi guys, What would be the best pad choice for this set up: 05 Pitbull Rear Magura HS33 ZOO 4 bolt booster Light/medium grind At the moment i'm running Onza Citrus' i think, what would be the best i need a good solid bite/hold as i'm quite heavy these days Any help Appreciated Thanks Rob
