    just means rear wheels are abit cheaper and its easer to replace a front freewheel over a full hub any trials cranks will be fine as long as u have enough threads on them

    i have some monty spray and use it when i ride natural as it works better than tar when ur rims get damp or wet but when i ride street i use tar as its easyer to apply and ur not waiting for the stuff to dry

    yeh 180grit and it wil only take abought 5 mins if that. Im talking from alot of experiance 5 years in car body repair and spraying
  13. old_man_dan
    i wouldent recomend 60/80 grit it would be too harsh on a alloy frame. Your best bet would be to use 180grit wet then use 400 wet to get a better finnish, then when u spray only go in light coats the trick is to get the paint at a stage where it looks wet but dosnt run that wil give u the smooth finnish you are after. Take some time to practice spraying and learn how the paint adheres to the frame its the same with anything a bit of practice will help get the desired result.

    if its a hoswitzer bb the axel is diffrent there not a true isis its truvatives own system for there cranks much like shimano has the octalink however the truvative gigapipe bb will fit fine as its isis drive and the cups are internal so a front freewheel will be fine
  17. old_man_dan
