weebryan Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Done this today and very pleased with it Quick spec Echo tr wheel set Tnn brakes front lgm rear bee greens Schwalbe tires F rocket ron R big betty Echo cranks, trial tech ti bash, rockman freewheel, tr pedals Monty ti stem and try-all bars Had a quick shot and freewheel bound up on spacer, so put old one i had back on and all is good, the chain tension is pretty tight even though the screws are backed right out so hopefully slacken as chain streches and the pads did even need bedding in. Just to cut the steer once i am happy with set up and my little angled spacer works a treat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weebryan Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) whats with the stem stackers? surely your gonna hit your knee or chest or something on that?? Its just temporary until i get the height nice play around with the spacers My last set of forks I fitted the stem on top of the headset and then cut the steer with no spacers then i bought another frame which was 20mm higher bb than previous frame and stem was too low and couldnt add spacers and also the other stems had too high a steer clamp than the monty stem so forks were fooked Defo not getting it wrong this time The stem is 145x25 and 20mm spacers feels nice and im 5"4 so for you i would go with 165x35 and mabey trial tech high rise bars , I know this is what duncan shaw rides and that was nice too just a tad too high for me Edited March 5, 2012 by weebryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
