I recently asked Euan Beaden to make a conversion for a Pro4 that turns it into a 10mm bolt up. Worth dropping him a PM

I've looked at the MT Trail set on Tarty but then I hear about brakes feeling a bit soft. With Shimano Deore/XT etc I hear about pad knock. With Hope Trialzone (my current brake) every day is different and no how much centering pads, bleeding can change that. I keep dwelling on BB7 just for simplicity. Basically I didn't myself into a frustrated state and then don't buy any brakes. I'd really like to have a try of each to see but that's an impossibility until Tartydays (hopefully with the help of some volunteers).

Absolute tech lines there! Great video!

So ended up putting the matching forks onto the Zoot. Reduced the wheelbase slightly but felt a lot stiffer. I've asked Euan Beaden for a bolt up front conversion too which should stiffen it up even more. Jobs a good un!

Street ride from tonight. Felt so rigid on the bike tonight but good to be out and about.

He's an absolute weapon!

That looks like such a good spot to ride. Good riding too!

Buthiers! Some of the best natural I've ridden!

Very nice to see you both kill it. always good to see some natural too

On a side note to this Mark, do jitsie pads make a substantial difference at all?

They'll handle anything you'll throw at it. They'll lock your wheels up no problem at all. They'll also be nice and quiet with modulation too.

If you've rode for that long you'll adapt quickly.

I just made the move from riding mod to a 24 and I love 24. I ride everything from street to natural. The beauty of a 24" is its like a swiss army knife with several handy functions rather than a mod which in many cases is a sharp as hell knife. I don't think you'd be disappointed at all with a 24". Basically the same thing Mark said.

Insane riding. He's got some serious balls.

At a guess you'll be hunting for a sub 1000mm wheelbase, 370ish mm chainstays and maybe a +30 to +40mm bb rise. I had a trawl through the internet but could find anything specific. I rode the later 221ti and it was so much fun. This maybe as close as you can get https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_frames/monty_219_mag/c36p12509.html?pos=0&search_params=YTo3OntzOjEyOiJjYXRlZ29yeV9pZHMiO2E6MTp7aTowO3M6MjoiMzYiO31zOjE2OiJjYXRlZ29yeV9yZWN1cnNlIjtiOjE7czo4OiJrZXl3b3JkcyI7czowOiIiO3M6OToiYnJhbmRfaWRzIjtOO3M6NDoibW9kZSI7czozOiJhbGwiO3M6NDoic29ydCI7czo5OiJwcmljZV9hc2MiO3M6MTA6ImNvdW50cnlfaWQiO2k6MTt9

Got skills dude! Hope your knee gets better soon!

Ive done this with an Identiti P45. It wasn't too bad to be fair. The negative BB drop had its downside but also positives too.

Very nice mate!

I was planning a decent ride but rotor bolts came lose and couldn't get a decent angle on some lines so pied off the ride. The only clip I got.... https://www.instagram.com/p/BhtqJOmBFmDLU6RqxYj8v_T0Xp26L7x5EC6wQo0/

If I'm off work then I'll ride.

That needs changing.

I run arcade bars,90x35 stem and over an inch of spacers. I set my bike up how I want to and it's comfy as anything! I've got back issues but that set up helps loads!

metal studs to?

15th and 16th September

It sure aint built for comfort. It was just bought to be light. I haven't went down the whole titanium bolt route too. It's light enough.
