3dd Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) No, I think the front looks fine. Black forks black wheel - it's cool. I got a double walled rhino lite rim on mine that is ligher than any of the trials ones on tarty atm and it's strong too! In my opinion black headset would be nice. So you only have most of it in 2 colours and red hun just to show yourself of It's still very nice man! I love mine!

i like cunning stunts Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Nice, I am having trouble getting chain tension with mine running 18 - 14 without a halflink. What does 18-13 feel like and can you get food tension without running a halflink?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Ive got someone buying it as a whole bike. Got enough spares to build it into one you can pass my info on to threm but the bloke buying it seems genuin. I hope tgs style 24" keep coming then maybe we wopuld have a wider selection of rims and tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Can you upload the pics onto the TF gallery by chance? Some image upload sites are blocked from my Chinese internet access... damn censorship...! On another note.. how does it compare to your old Echo Urban for TGSy stuff? Is it just leaps and bounds ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so much better thean the ech for tgs! having problems with chain tensions at the mo. How do i upload it onto that? Just resize the pics using paint and put them up here. I ma runing 18-14 with the half link it seems ok, haven't snapped it yet. Your rear tyre isn't 1.3kg it a holly roller it must be aroung 800g. My high roller is 1.3 originally, but after cutting it its only a bit over a 1kg. Schwalbe do a glue Al mighty tyre with 2.35 that has dual ply carcass but its a bit pricey (£45) Might get it soon, it's light and prety thick too.
