Luke Rainbird Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 The rims themselves aren't bad, but I would strongly advise against ordering from T-UK if you want to see your parts/money in the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceman Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 May I know what gear ratio are you running?And is that a Rohloff tensioner you're using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethgun Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) May I know what gear ratio are you running?And is that a Rohloff tensioner you're using?Im running 22-16 again (went to 17 rear but just feels so spot on with a 16) Ive also gone back to my trialtech stem after playing around with the system ex stem (just felt too short) but probably going to a 110 hope stem and getting azonic b52bars 2" rise. Also inspired pedals and tnn pads. Also yep, its a rohloff tensioner on there Edited June 5, 2009 by Sethgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Considering throwing a similar stem on mine - do you find it hinders streetyness at all (bunnyhops, spins etc)?Not that I can do them anyway, just don't fancy throwing one on and killing my chances further!

Simpson Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Considering throwing a similar stem on mine - do you find it hinders streetyness at all (bunnyhops, spins etc)?Nooo don't do it Luke! The only thing I was going to say I didn't like about the bike was the stem. Whats the geo on that badboy? looks too long and high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Oh don't get me wrong they look a bit out of place, but it's not fun having a low low low front end with no more steerer to bring it up. May get an extra chunk added on for problem solving heroicness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Stem looks way too long to be properly streety Lucas, tried finding a 90x15* (if not higher) stem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Luke look at the new pictures of my Leeson in my topic's, do you fancy something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 S'all about Operation Trysomedifferentsetupsoutbeforespendingthedollah guys. Low enough clamp height and a 90*20/100*15 would probably do the trick, possibly one of these:Feedback from anyone with a Trialtech/similar stem on a 24" would be very much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 That's got "mad sick bunnyhops" written all over it dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethgun Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 That's got "mad sick bunnyhops" written all over it dude!yeh i changed mysetup to a system ex 100mm X37deg rise with my trialtech risers. im about 168cm so short. Found bunnyhops to be waaaay cool, but it felt real cramped once i was hopping on the rear. Changed the bars position, brake position...still didnt feel too right. Now the trialtech 11oX17deg seems nice with an inch of spacers and my trialtech bar, it feels nice and comfie on the rear but ur going to be pushing harder to get your weight over the front wheel. Until u get to that point, the momentum is easy to flich forward, just need a little more umph.Thats why im now going to experiment with my trialtech, 1x 90mmX10deg hope, 1x 110X10deg hope and azonic b52 bars with 2" rise and about 1.5" of headset spacers lol. Gonna pick n choose combos this next 2 weeks n see what works best. If anyone needs a system ex and possibly a trialtech riser soon and trialtech stem, let me know (like next 2 weeks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Balls, just seen you're in Aus! Would have been rather interested in some of your wares but after shipping it'd probably be out of my price range (which is currently <£0, so not great anyway!)Still, if you end up throwing them in the FS section, I'll keep an eye out fo' sho'Thanks for the info on what you've tried and how you've found it, really handy to get some good relative feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethgun Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Shipping aint actually too bad to UK. I mean, its not too expensive from the UK to me. (i got a brake, disc and headset sent recently that cost about 8quid. It seriously aint too bad and now that the dollars improved, even better. Balls, just seen you're in Aus!

We do infact each own a Koala. Its how you prove your Australian Identity. You get pulled over by the cops and asked for I.D *whips out his Koala*- simple. Show them your Koala and you then, are clearly an Aussie and free to go.I put my Koala in my kangaroos pouch to bounce around the backyard....all 5000 Hectars of it. Gets a bit risky near the crocodile pond though Oh well, plenty more where they came from.Mate, Im trying to build a spec. You at home tonight? Need to give you a bell.
