  1. Then I'd get some crank washers with them as well. My Shimano SLX 665 didn't fit right away. I actually like the look of the rims, then again, I had been running spank stiffies in green for some time on my mintgreen 4play.

    Yes. You'll need the HC1.

    I ran the MT5 already on my 4play and once the rotor isn't 100% true it rubs, which is annoying. The perform equally good as the Saints though, or better but I wouldn't notice the difference... On the Console I'm pretty sure that if I have to tension the chain, the disc will rub a lot as the wheel won't be in the exact same position. Now it does't rub but I can barely see any gap between the pads and the rotor.
  4. Cheapest? The Terrex are pretty narrow compared to the Five Tens but offer the same sole so they are pretty decent. You may have a look at Shimano SH-AM7. The same guy who's FGs fell apart recommended these. He's running caged pedals if that's of importance (and a way better rider than I am).
  5. and wear down in half a year or less. They are good shoes though when it comes to performance. @Greetings Just don't get the orange ones. They are very expensive and fall apart in a couple of rides. I've seen it happen to a friend of mine.

    Just took another hour to get this brake rub free. I'm sure it won't stay this way but as long as it's not too bad, I'll leave it like this. I put some Trickstuff NG pads in there and mounted the HC1 lever. As the MT4 labeled wasn't available, I just took the MT5 one. I'll also be running 180mm rotors for now. If the brake isn't powerful enough, I'll get some Jitsie pads. Out to bedding in the brake...
  7. Yours is equally clean looking just that it's more to the street trials end of the spectrum of these frames.
  8. I couldn't fit it even with force, so I had to file it down. Unfortunately, I'm already accustomed to certain modifications to make trials specific parts fit.
  9. I had to file down the sides of my seatpost a bit to make it fit together. And I thought that this was due to having the inspired post and an odyssey saddle. The odyssey post I got for the new frame fit without modification.

    But not as much as the Shimano Saints. It's a pain in the ass to get them rub-free.
  11. I didn't like it. It was too short.
  12. Another great step towards never letting go of my rear brake ever again. Brakeless is shit.
  13. Probably not but it makes certain things easier. You could always get the Bonz street bars. They have almost the same geo.
  14. Yes. Sorry, should've mentioned it. Putting the Arcade bars on my bike was some sort of revelation.
  15. With these bars it looks kinda weird.

    I just bought an MT4 with the HC1 blade. I'll try it on the rear and if it's enough, I'll get one for the front as well. The reason for getting this is that the Saints 810 I have on the front are too much. Since the MT4 comes with a lot of cable, I'll try it on the rear first. If it doesn't offer the power I need, I'll just pop the MT5 on there. I just hope that @ben_travis is right in saying that the MT6 (MT4) has a bit more pad clearance. I can't stand rubbing brakes.
  17. It isn't that obvious...
  18. How high did you get?
  19. That's too bad. I guess I'll have to wait till September then.
  20. Slowly getting there. I'll have to do it quicker and tuck my legs more.
