Mark W Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 James came by the warehouse yesterday to build up a new bike, and here it is: His bike is built around the RockMan Slate XL frame with a set of RockMan Spade forks. His rear wheel is the K2 Rim laced up to a TR Hub. The rest of the drivetrain is set up using a Trialtech Sport Lite BB with Try-All ISIS cranks, with the latest Symetrik bashring and an Echo SL 108 freewheel. That's finished off with a pair of RockMan Single Cage pedals and a KMC Z610 HX chain. His front wheel uses the new Trialtech Sport Lite rim laced up to an Echo SL Front Non Disc hub. 3x lacing to keep things nice and stiff (at James' request!). Both of his brakes are 2011 HS11 brakes, using water/antifreeze bleeds and Try-All Croco Yellow pads. The stem is a Try-All 3D Forged 150mm stem with the Try-All Carbon bars, cut down a touch to around 700mm. James rode (well, destroyed...) our indoor setup after he got it built up, and we filmed a couple of clips. He's editing that video over the Xmas break so that should be out soon hopefully! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Looks lush!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) I like it, except for that bar angle. Spec doesn't mean much to me any more, on this kind of bike, but it's nicely put together.
