  1. Just got a new neon sloping top cap stem

    I want to run my gusset headlock system with it but i am having some size issues

    The threaded bar is too big to fit through the hole of the topcap, seems one size too much

    additionally if i was to drill it out, the top of the bar where the allen key fits would not countersink into the topcap itself

    is there any alternatives to the gusset headlock system which prehaps uses a slightly smaller thread

    ideally i dont want to use a starnut, any homemade systems people used before

    ill get some pics sorted now to make it seem clearer

    many thanks

  2. That is the M6 one you keep mentioning

    http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/other_frame_spares/onza_m6_integrated_tensioner_replacement_bolt/c127p12050.html

    If you read the description it talks about not suitable for GU frames

    However this one is

    http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/other_frame_spares/stan_titanium_echo_integrated_chain_tensioner_bolt/c127p12072.html

    But out of stock and doesnt give an "M" size for it so i can find one elsewhere.....

  3. Here is the situation

    Recently snapped my frame, it has a 116mm back end so naturally i have the same hub.

    The hub is echo tr

    I am looking around for replacement frames but before i make serious decisions i was wondering.....

    A mate of mangled his old tr hub where the cog attaches but this was a 135mm hub same as mine.

    Could i swap the axle into my 116hub (i know tarty sell a 135 hun axle) and it would work? And how difficult is this to do?

    This could broaden my frame searching quest!

    Thanks
