Alex Dark Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 hey all just ordered my self a base ta26 always wanted one !just a few questions though:1. will a crane creek headset fit in the frame? yep, if its external2.will a echo square taper bottom braket fit? yep3. what gear ratio do you think i should run for street? (using a freehub) er, 18-15 i reckon4. what would it run like if i was to use 24" wheels like some guy on here called heatsink did few years back not very nice, bb would be too low for a 24, would be a pig on the back wheel5. list me a spec you think will be good for street !er, echo urban forkspro2 on dx32old zoo bars / truvativ barsany 110mm x 15* stemany lightish front wheeldual ply rear, single ply front tyresrear magura on smooth rim, plaz crm padsfront avid bb7 180mmmiddleburns / echo forged cranksany seatkmc kool chain74kingz tensioner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Spec wise, any decent rigid trials fork, i'm fond of Pashleys myself 90x15 stem, anything longer felt gash on my 3 Bases!Some 2 inch rise bars, azonic dw are nice feeling, but i have recently taken a liking to kore freerides, mega nice shape and seemingly strongI ran 3 pieces and middleburns on mine, prefered 3 pieces cos they are stiffer Hope hubs on reasonably slim rims, ideally 32mm and below due to brake clearanceV brake out back for sure, and v/disc up front. Maguras are a shit to set up on evo adaptors, and vs are just better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountian goat Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 i think for gear ratio im a running a 22 tooth on the front but not to sure for the back. i still want to be able to like forward hop but high enough to get speed for street so what would you say i should run on the back?lee x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Some good ratio are 22:18/19, 20:17, 18:15 Again it all depends which you prefer these are the most common ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
