Si-man Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Got this a couple of weeks ago.Looks nice, but rides like a sack of potatoes.Might be getting rid of it soon like, as i have no motivation and feels about 300ft long.What you think then?

BenLeacock™ Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Looks pritty nice, what made you run 2 maggie's over disk ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 It came with a front disc, but it was shit as the forks are f**ked.So i bought a maggie, would work good if the pads were square. new ones on the way though.Got it off Samdoman, the worlds shittest bike mechanic, was f**ked when i got it, spent ages setting it all up.

liam-pantera Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 hito be honest mate that bike has alot of potential all it needs is some love and some money thrown at it , infact i think you should restore it to monty spec well i love it so dont hurt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Tempted by 221ti bar and stem, but its alot of money.If i still have it in a few months, going to rear disc it and see what its like.The rear hub is apparently a 221ti, but has no disc mount...

Matthew_Gibson Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 keep it dude! Get it looking right and you cant go rong with a dual disc monty. Make sure its a Trials hope thinggy too. Really good. I wish I kept mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Looks good man, change the stem and it might feel a bit shorter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 i think it looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Stem and handlebars make a load of a difference on a trials bike. Get the right setup and that's about all you'll need. What bar and stem is it running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 the difference i felt when i switched my Pr stem for the Ti jobbie was phenominal, just something for you to think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 raise the front end, my mates monty has a rediculous amount of stackers (i'll get pics soon) rides f**king fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thats not really a ti is it? well not this years ti anyway as they didnt come with maggie mounts. Looks to me like a sprayed pr with a new set of stickers although it could be an older ti (please prove me wrong) But I do love the colour as it stands out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Think its last years model, better f**king be. Its got a monty stem with easton EA70 bars Gonna get monty bar and stem for it i think, used to run them years ago, felt mint.I have a front mono trials, going to get a rear and a new rear wheel an run discs i think.

Ryan Blackwell Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Wow that looks good now! (my old frame) Its a 05 221ti by the way mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 just change the bar stem combo.... never heard a Monty described as a barge lol there about as long as a match stick! just put Ti bar and stem on my bike and it rides so much nicer, 2nd hand there like gold dust! so usually hold quite a lot of their value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Gonna do that then i think, monty bar and stem it is, gonna cost about £4000, but it will hopefully ride mint.Think im going to source some original bits and make it mint. I want dual disc, just for the added silent factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want dual disc, just for the added silent factor.I don't even think duel disk is necessary. Too expensive. I run front and rear Maggies and I'm getting along pretty well. So there shouldn't be any problem. Get you some good pads and maybe bleed em' and your good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
