  1. Well, if you've got the frame with you why not measure it? Just measure the height of the bb from the ground and subtract 330mm from it.
  2. The shell is 68mm. A 128mm axle won't cause any chain line issues.
  3. A few freeride frames, 2 out of 3 Monty frames I've had, bbs, cranks, rims, a couple of freewheels, hubs, bashplates, pedals, at least 8 magura brakes, a fork, stem, bars... the list goes on...
  4. Don't agree with those two, they're much easier to manual whereas front wheel moves are more difficult. If you want to do a wheelswap you need to pull the rear wheel up much higher.

    That was superb! Your style really reminds me of Dan Pepin. Great editing, very good varied riding with lots of lines which I think is most important. Great job!
  6. Get back to me in 2 weeks if you're interested in a new 219M on good parts (221ti cranks, tyres, freewheel, bars, 221pr forks etc.).
  7. Definitely not! Even if the brake would hold, the wheel would fold in due course edit: well maybe a bb7 on a 203mm rotor, those brakes are stupidly powerful, but you'd have problems with wheels. after all a disc brake transfers the braking force through the spokes, a rim brake doesn't which puts much less stress on the wheel
  8. not sure running a mechanism where there is strong friction between it's elements is a good idea. I run mine on a small amount of Castrol GTX. Didn't have anything else, it works rather well though.
  9. That is awesome!! Great find dude, thanks a lot!! edit: Actually I'm finding that program piss hard to use. It's no good for designing complex things, why couldn't they go for a normal 3D interface like in ie. 3ds...
  10. They did something like that in Kranked 2 but on freeride bikes. Not as extreme but just as fun.
  11. Oh my... thats one lovely house... Perfect for getting drunk, doing nothing and having sex. Just looking at those pics I can think of 5 unique alcohols which would best be drunk in the places photographed. I'd also drink cheap wine on the beach at night and cool beer during the day.
  12. Not sure this is useful, only pic I've got.
  13. Bad example, DX32 are much more narrow than Try-All rims, so a Try-All rim will be more practical in trials. It would however be silly if a freeride/street rider bought Try-All rims. Personally I'd never buy a part just for it's looks if it was of poor quality but if there are a few equally reliable parts with different looks, I'll choose the one that's more pimp. It's probably to do with spending your money better - not only do you get a good part, you also get something that's great in terms of looks at no extra charge.
  14. Rode dual disc for about a year and not once did I hit the rotor when riding urban (sidehopped to the left as well). After a few days or riding rocks my rotor got badly dented but that was a shitty Hope one made of cheese. It was also 180mm as opposed to 160 which are commonly used in mods, so I guess it got in the way easier. Benefits? It's quiet so it doesn't piss people off (seriously, you rarely get kicked out of "private" riding spots because people can't hear you), it's way stronger than a Magura, doesn't need any attention at all. No grinding, no rim cleaning and better performance in the wet than in the dry. It also makes the riding neater in my opinion. Throughout the 1 year I used a rear disc, it slipped twice and only on rocks which were as coarse as sand paper meaning incredibly good tyre grip. I think dual disc stocks are a bit pointless because at a guess the brake is much weaker than a well set up magura. Nevertheless I'm going to risk going dual disc on a stock, might be fun.
  15. That Toxsin guy is really good! I'm well impressed but Neils brake and hub really annoy me lol
  16. I like mine narrow, got a 2.0" Schwalbe Nobby Nic
  17. Well you're obviously right but I doubt there are any 13-year olds on this forum who haven't seen boobs yet. And for the quality of hosting tv.isg.si offers, I really don't mind seeing those ads even though they piss me off in general regardless the content.
  18. Sounddogs Adequate quality for free, professional quality at a charge
  19. I see, you mean a front 160mm (rear 140mm) with a +40 adaptor? Why is that different to a 160 rear + 20mm adaptor? What part of the caliper gets in the way?
  20. Well, as above really, wondering if i can get a 200mm rotor on a mono trials caliper into an MS2? Would a BB7 fit into that frame?
  21. That's great! I was hoping somebody would write something like this, might help me get my technique right.
  22. I got one from "paypal" recently.
