This is super informative. Thanks!

What olive/Barb combo have people been using for their conversions? I've seen people using Shimano barbs, but others have said magura barbs are necessary or there's a risk of leaking from the lever. Also read that Shimano barbs can go crooked on the magura brake line, but Shimano olives seem necessary to flush up against the Shimano lever. Thinking about converting; my Zees have been good but lately have developed some sort of micro leak which contaminates the pads when the bike sits for a bit.

Thank you both for the replies! Aener, I was mistaken with my sizes - it is an m6 rear hub not a 10mm. Sandbugg, I usually tighten the drive side tug first when tensioning the chain but find that the wheel doesn't stay straight that way. I checked the serrated washers and they didn't not have paint on them. It sounds like my best bet might be to switch to a hope hub with the bigger axle bolts

Hello, I've got a relatively new arcade fuse, running stock trialtech m6 rear axle and arcade chain tugs. While admittedly I'm not the smoothest rider, I've been having a problem where on some moves which place a lot of force on the rear wheel (drop gaps, bunnyhops with speed, etc) the wheel will slip in the dropouts - not like crazy, but enough to cause the wheel to rub the chainstay. I'm tightening the axle bolts very tight, I don't have exact torque numbers but any tighter and I'm worried about thread stripping. I'm wondering if anybody else has had this problem with the arcades, and what, if anything, you were able to do to fix the problem. I'm thinking about trying some new axle nuts with a bigger head/ more surface area. The through axles on the fourplay are starting to look like a pretty slick idea... Thanks for the help! Brad

Well, the pictures shown had no threaded hole for the chain tensioner to connect to. Stan informed me though that that was a temporary hangar, and there are also other ways to mount tensioners. anyways, thanks guys.

Hey, I was just looking around on tarty bikes and saw the new because street bike. anyways, after looking at the pictures, it has vertical dropout, and what appears to be a useless derailleur hangar. I cannot imagine why they would do this. Anyone know more on the subject than I do?

That's one hot bike. I like the look of the new ozonys... Nice ride man.

Thats massive...but I'm not sure if it counts because he kind of failed at the end, going over the bars and all, haha

Mike Steadlys bike looks really sick. The documentary was pretty cool, but they should have shown some bigger stuff..

Anyone use the Monty? I've never ridden one, but their light and cheap, but how strong?

The design is sweet, and the overall bike is pretty cool....for a comp bike..

Geo and some other useful information

My thoughts exactly. . Bash looks pretty bad too.

Hey, I live in Ottawa, Canada, and was wondering how much shipping would be to ship an inspired frame to Canada, because tarty bikes is the closest place they are sold. Thanks, Brad.

I FEEL SO APPRECIATED!! I unno bout it, but ill check it out, love to come though As for telling your teacher he was horrible, that made me laugh. lol. And for the record, Ive got Trials forum, pinkbike, and btca, lol

Yah, My editing was horrible...I also have some pretty big ups, but didn't feel like biking too far away, this entire video was filmed In one spot, and its not really for beginners. The whole video was just because I was bored, and was like a 5 min editing job. Not bad for a first try, but nothing serious

Hey I am getting a new computer very soon and I am wondering about my Itunes- Is there any way to transfer it to my new computer or do I just have to redownload all of my songs? Thanks, Brad

U-Brakes arn't very good at all I have a diamondback bmx, and I use it for street stuff, but if you want to do hops or something, the brake barely does anything. I don't want to run a U-Brake but its the only mount it has

O.K., I have a U-brake on one of my bikes, but no matter how hard I pull the lever, it dosn't lock, and thats pretty bad for hopping. Any suggestions? Tar? hairspray? Thanks, Brad

Just make more good posts and wait. You'll get validated eventually. -Brad
