    ... very nice, but spotted the deliberate mistake. You have the brakes on the wrong way around!!!

    Yes, It is because I am not english and I got used to brakes this way, at least non of my friends can ride it properly but me :P

    And

    Is that a King on the rear? How are you finding the horizontal drop outs with it? Are you running a snail cam?

    Thanks,

    John

    Yes it is a king, I am running snail cam on one side, asked tarty 1st, also noticed that stan was using one with his hydroxx, I realised 2 would not fit into the frame anyway. 1 is more than enough, just need to squizee the wheel in a bit harder when putting into drop outs. Works a treat! I also had to make the hole bigger in the snail cam to fit the 12mm fat king bolt.

    And

    wtf I told you straight off the Bat that that magura disc would be shit. Well done Adam!!!

    Meh gogz, I had to try it. :-

    Those Nevegal 2.5`s weigh in at 1440g on my ParkTools digital scale. They came as stock on my GT Fury, and were the only part I changed on it. Schwalbe MuddyMary 2.35 (Freeride - Folding) weigh 850g, so there is some serious weigt to shave off there.

    PS: My current MuddyMary tyre on the back of my trials bike weighs 730g after I cut some tread off it. :D

    F That! It said it was about 900g... I think I got one of those then, because its fairly heavy! Need to change back one ASAP!

    Later Edit. Just weight my bike on proper scales - 10.2kg :P And I am happy again!

    I think the LE suits you more :$

    I just thought the same! Is that zhi? What do you think of the frame? Horizontal drop out for the win. We both moved on with our LE's :closedeyes:

    Also liking the riding, that you transfered your street skills into some more trialsy stuff, which I like to see! Good work!

    Well my scales might be wrong, I just weight myself 68kg and then bike and myself 79kg. I dont know what is so heavy, i know it shouldn't be! My Gu LE was about 9.7kg with echo forks, try-all ones are about 200g heavier. Front tyre is about 680g and 1kg for the back one, so tyres are fairly light.

    Got new frame and forks last friday, finaly got it built up, had a ride on sunday in trials park in Barrow farm, unfortunately did not take any rding pics :mellow: but it was amazing.

    So here it is, my stinger, might cut forks a bit lower though. Also a bit heavy at the moment 11kg, i think because I got some beasty tyres on it - nevegal 2.5 and 2.1

    Riden it for 3 hours yesterday and finaly got used to it. Haven't riden for 3.5 weeks before that, so i was very impressed when I did a tap i would strugle on my old LE. So I fully agree to Ali C that longer do help, I can feel it, but I still don't understand how, because you would need to tuck lower? Frame also feels very stiff!

    Anyways want to thank tarty for sorting me out that quick as I know they were very busy last week.

    And I changed my marta that I used for a month maybe to a hope, 100x better! Love it! Next time I will take Adams advice and get hope straight away!

    Tip* always listen to Adam!

    I have got one, built it just today, it's a briliant frame, I havent riden for 3 weeks and I was impressed how easy it is to do some stuff, although need to get used to the chainstay length, as it is different to my old Gu Le which was hoping on back wheel by it self prety much! Will get some pics tomorrow maybe, so check it out!
