Does anyone know of a decent graphics company that can print me a set of monty 221ti frame stickers? I’ve tried everywhere for a replacement set but considering the age of the frame I wasn’t surprised to find that nowhere stocks them anymore.
Any help would be appreciated, just got hold of a ti but it’s a bit tatty and I’d love to get it looking new again with new stickers to match.
Cheers!

Nice work! Done a few builds like this myself.
Its so rewarding bringing a tired looking bike back to life, not to mention an awful lot of work!

Hey, recently bought a specialized Tricross sport disk for a bit of road riding, as the mountain bike feels too weighty for rolling around the streets on.
I Picked up an Orange RX9 frameset and used all the specialized bits to build it, only thing is the wheels are a bit past it, and I fancy something a bit wider/more versatile so I’m not restricted to just paths and roads. Any pointers? This side of bikes is very foreign to me and I haven’t got a clue what’s good or not.
Im after a decent set of wheels that don’t cost the earth, need to be disk compatible and fit 135x10 and 110x10 with QR axles.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Hi all.
I’m running a pair of mono mini’s on my orange and the performance is underwhelming. The pads in them are old and most likely past their best, so what’s the best pads to go for as an upgrade? I know mono minis aren’t the most powerful brakes ever but even a slight improvement will do until I can afford to upgrade the whole setup.
Picture of my five for anyone who’s curious!
Thanks.

Looks slick mate!

That’s an unusual bike. I have seen so few of them.
That is a very nice bike anyway. Congratulations.
Thanks. I hadn’t heard of it at all until my friend got it, they don’t seem to be very common! Quite an odd geo even by today’s standards.

Recently picked this up from a friend for a good price, fair to say it’s the polar opposite of what I’m used to riding. Only been out a couple of times on it but it already feels very easy to manoeuvre and throw around! The crazy high bb makes for an interesting feel but it’s something I can see myself getting used to.

Double post.

Or the Ross's Rides selling group on farcebook has some good deals on there.
If you're happy with 26" then some great bargains can be had but be aware that they're likely to be older frames so potentially a bit tatty/hammered.
I’ll check that out, and yeah I think I’ll stick with 26" as it’s just a case of swapping the bits over to a new frame.

I can’t see the picture for some reason! Not sure if it’s just me.

If you make the switch to 27.5" you may also need new forks - doesn't look to be much space under the fork for anything larger than you already have fitted.
Worth a look on Pinkbike and Singletrackworld, as well as the usual eBay/Gumtree scouting
Might have an 18" Boardman FS frame in the garage if it's of any use to you? Was a ~2012 IIRC, and was the last 26" model.Ah yeah that’s a good point, I hadn’t noticed that. I’ll give thoses sites a try and see what I find.
And yeah I’d be interested, I’ll pm you.
Thanks.

Hey guys. A few months ago I wound up with a ‘09 Boardman pro. The frame is 20” and I’m only 5ft 6” so it’s a bit on the tall side for me.
Ive been looking for a new frame but I can’t seem to find a great variety, and with the bike being 26” I’m struggling to find frames that aren’t 27.5”- does this matter? And would it be a case of just buying new rims and lacing them to my current hubs?
Alternatively if anyone here has a 26” medium sized frame going (17-18”) then I’d be interested in doing a deal.
Thanks!

Are the flanges on the 150 wider than a normal 135? If so I would expect you to struggle!
The extra spacing with the 150 hubshells is in between the non driveside flange and the disk mount, so the disk mounts will have to go but that’s not an issue really as I don’t use disk brakes.

Is there a write up on how it’s done anywhere? I’ve got a 150mm pro 2 evo knocking around that I wouldn’t mind trying to convert.

Hahaha that’s amazing

I’ve got a bb7 with a shimano 203mm rotor and trialtech pads, and it’s mad how powerful it is. I don’t believe I’ve even ridden it enough for it to be fully bedded in yet and it’s more than capable. +1 on the hope adaptor, don’t mess round with anything else!

Did you polish the rim yourself? I've got a black Spank Stiffy on my bike and it's the worst baking surface I've ever had.
No I didn’t, I bought them that way. They were secondhand though so I’m not sure what state it was in before.
It seems a bit lacklustre no matter what I do with it at the moment, so I’m going to try a Maggie to see if that sorts it!

Heatsink cousts and yellows work good on polished rims
I’ll get a pair and give them a go. Thanks!

Currently running a vee with inspired pads on a polished spank stiffy, gonna make the switch to a Maggie as I need a bit more bite, what pads would work best?
I normally never get it right with pads so any advice would be great.

Can you not drive there, or get public transport? Or am I missing something?

Only in the trials world can a company put out a new full carbon frame with an ISIS bb and qr dropouts and people think it's awesome lol. Pretty sweet frame for 2006.
Exactly my thoughts as I heard the cams clicking

when did you last bleed your brake?
About a month ago. I’ve made sure Both cylinders are free and moving evenly and they’re both an equal distance from the rim, very minimal buckle in the wheel.
Custom frame graphics?

I have actually tried to contact them, got no response. I’m not after them urgently, Obviously with the current situation being the way it is I’m not expecting sticker printing to be a priority, I’ll try them again and see if they respond.
