AdamR28 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hope you like. Brakes are surprisingly good with the black pads on those anodised rims!!Lots of headset spacers because the rider is tall and wants to bunnyhop - gives a really nice riding position though.CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 but why has e got disk and maggy forks with no disk hub incase he wants to change ?Maybe thats all they had. Strange question.Anyway, thats a sweet bike. Cool to see hes wanting to run the black pads Should ride quite nice with that set up.What is it you boys do when you build a bike like that up? take photos of it, ride it around for a bit then dismantle it and post it? Do you ask the costomer if its ok to take photos of it first? Do you take off the wheels and bar and all that to pack it up?Just somthing im intrested in knowing lol.

Do you take off the wheels and bar and all that to pack it up?We usually get pics as a record (may be handy for the customer for insurance purposes down the line), usually have a quick stamp on the pedals to ensure the drivetrain is working correctly and sprockets etc are tightened on but never a proper ride.Usually front wheel and bar/stem comes off then it goes in a box and on it's way Ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedals too so it fits in the box?Rowan, your right. Not suprising. One of my best feeling brakes ever was a black pad on a clean 521. In the dry summer mind you.

Mikee Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) You know that spoke pattern on that front wheel....Is there a much of a diference in wheel strength compared to the usual pattern and will it be ok with a front disc? because i think it looks cool and would like to do it to my front wheel.

You can possibly use radial lacing on the non-disc side but for stock I (in my personal experience) wouldn't recomend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Looks so much sweeter than older custom build back in 2006-07, esspecially with the trialtech parts. Nice one adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
