Little Yoshi Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 That is lovely. But have to ask. How is the disk annoying you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 That is lovely. But have to ask. How is the disk annoying you? Not keen on them really, thought I'd put it on as they are generally more practical but I like Maguras because of the insane bite/hold you get, and that you get freely spinning wheels. And the disk is rubbing and squeaking (which is mainly the bit that annoys me) at the moment so will need to get it set up properly. But I'm definitely going to give the disk a try for a week or so, see what I think, maybe it will grow on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dd Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 That is nice! Is that 18-14 ratio with no half link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 face the disk mounts then take some time to shim it. it'll get rid of the rubbing noise, let the wheel spin freely and have lovely lever feel. looks nice Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dd Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 How does the bike feel compared to what you used to ride? I am most interested in performance wise, does it limit you in any ways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) That is nice! Is that 18-14 ratio with no half link? Yeah fits perfect, don't even need to use the tensioners much as the chain is pretty much tight at the start of the dropout. face the disk mounts then take some time to shim it. it'll get rid of the rubbing noise, let the wheel spin freely and have lovely lever feel. looks nice Steve Sorted it now, working good just needed to tamper with the spacers. How does the bike feel compared to what you used to ride? I am most interested in performance wise, does it limit you in any ways? Well on my mod I was getting 6 pallets to rear but only at a push, after my first 20mins on this I was pissing it every time. It really is perfect, not too big but not too small.

Luke Dunstan Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yeah? Would a swampthing be a better option? Absolutely, so much lighter. Using a welter weight tube as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
