Buy yourself a bike bag and put it in your room - trust me, I had mine micked from uni in a 'secure' locked bike shed, and it was locked up! Even if it means making the cleaner a cup of tea every now and again its WELL worth it!

Haha! Cool vid though Hoeseph, forgot you were that good to be honest So, yeah, nice one...

Reminds me of my old Zebdi

Craig (trialsalot) has a new frame... and his bike looks sweet, so thought I'd post it because he's a lazy basher! Comments welcome as long as you slag him off Ads

Nice video - exactly the sort of riding I like! Hope you're getting on well with the frame Hendrik Good job guys Ads

Grind done by my own fair hands! Bunnywhops for the win

135mm spacing, sorry, forgot to mention that! Now UCI comps allow single speed, I would expect a lot of UCI Competition frames to go this way... I don't think there will be a 'hanger' version, but will ask Adam

New MBK T1000 Evo2 frame to be available at the start of 2007. Geometry as follows: 1090mm wheelbase (with Koxx Forxx), 380mm Chainstays, +40mm BB rise. Weight 1.793kg/3.95lbs! Horizontal dropouts with internal chain tugs like seen on the Ben Slinger prototype frame, very neat. Pictures: Obviously these are computer generated images so far, however we have seen pictures of the prototype frames. They seem to have a glittery dark purple/black finish which looks suprisingly pimp! We also have heard news of a 20" frame and MBK parts, details of those to follow when available! Cheers Adam PS: Note to mods - tried to post this in News forum but it didn't seem to appear (I am aware the topic needs approving, however the 'Post New Topic' button refused to work! Please feel free to move this topic as appropriate.) Cheers.

The lever is completely revised, as is the piston bore quality - much smoother now. Yep, see our site for pics! The price is at the RRP - they won't go down until the next series of brakes are released.

Ah I see, sorry... :$ But yeah, we're always trying to find new products and they offered us cranks to test, so it would have been rude to decline!

Yeah, have been for about 18 months now! Cheers for the comments, although you are a bit gay Joe.

Sexy beast you got there Robert! White is the bestest! Adam

Dave's got a new bike... and its cool! And the lovely prototype Profile Flatland cranks, with a meaty 18T Sprocket and Ti Axle! Big thanks to Sam and Steve at Profile Europe for these badboys, we're testing them for a while to give them some feedback... So 'proto' they don't have logos yet, and the length (165mm) is written on the back of the arms in marker pen So so stiff, and only 30g a set heavier than Echo CNC cranks and an SKF BB with Echo Screw on sprocket Keep checking Dave's blog on our site, I'm sure he'll be whacking more info and thoughts up when we'd had a few more rides. Bike weight is a shade under 23lbs, which we were rather shocked about! (New digital scales for the win ) Other parts are: Echo freehub, ZOO Headset, Onza 28" Carbon Risers, Echo '07 Rear rim, Red Rock Pads, T-Master stem, 2007 Hope Mono Trial 180mm front brake, V8 Pedals, KHE Collapse Chain, 2007 Echo Lite Forks, Special Davidz Edition Try-All Booster, Crawler Tyres and Hope Braided HS33 Hose. Video as soon as we can find a night to ride when its not pissing it down and therefore actually do some good stuff Hope you like! Adam

Well, it appears there's really not a lot in it... As both the setups are designed to give the same chain line when fitted with a 'normal' chainset. One thing we do have though is an Onza Taper BB in 127.5mm with an offset axle - this offsets everything approx 2mm to the drive side. This will give you more chainring clearance Give me a shout if that would be of use to you. Cheers Adam

Another one, sorry... whats the BB shell width on that frame? Cheers!

It greatly depends how old/worn the tapers are on the square cranks... Which exact setups are you comparing? Let me know and I'll do some measuring for you... Cheers Ads

After a bit of measuring etc... I think it is *possible* but not recommended. You ideally need at least 7mm of contact between sprocket/freewheel (therefore 11-12mm of thread overall), and the Monty cranks don't offer that much unfortunately. On a similar note - some bashrings are thinner at the base than others, so if you get stuck you could try machining one down, or something really thin like a Try-All. Adam

Sweet vid Ad, liked the tune, riding was beasty too! Shame we couldn't film in Blackburn... but next time eh! Catch you soon Ads

Tasty! Bars look in a good place to me

Looks like the circlip has popped out of the groove in the lever. I'd guess you'll need a new one, plus a re-bleed and a decent set of circlip pliers to put it all back together (if you don't already have one).

--> QUOTE(joe b @ Nov 3 2006, 11:44 PM) ←Or, even better... Red, white and blue Joey B signature Ribo's. Who'd like a pair of them bad boys ??? Hahahaha. Are those some of our proto ones (you got em from Dave Butler)? If so, they ming

Entry Form available from here: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/DevonEntry.doc Hopefully see you there! Adam

Large range of hangers available here. Depending on which frame you have, you'll either need the Koxx Mech Hanger or the Mech Hanger 1. Cheers Adam

Is that for definite? The latest this morning was that the lever is still to be decided... ourselves and Monty are doing the testing and our feedback will help to determine which lever is used. Well, that's what we've been told anyway! Brakes feel good so far, not much different to the standard ones but the pistons seem to be smoother... the lever blades are also more rounded and really comfy! Ads

Awesome, cheers Ah ok, just I had it down as a 10mm thick sheet with 8mm of pad material.. making 2mm recess? Either way, 4 is good!
