dann2707 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I knew the geo was different, just meant the colour combo! Although never knew it was that much longer! It feels f**king amazing so far, although the grips are wayyyy too thin. Need some trialtech thin foams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Turned my Onza bash ring into a half ring with the aid of an angle grinder and a file. And put them on some new cranks (172mm long!) felt weird at first but I think i've easily adjusted to them on one ride. But saved 230g from swapping cranks.

dann2707 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Absolutely shocking atm as its got some random pads on a smooth rim. Thinking they might be coustsinks and Tnn lgms but the rim is smooth as hell after removing the paint. Need some tar for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I had 175s on my blade for a long time, it felt ace. Ill sort you a block of tar dan, a massive piece that weighs over 10 kgs just fell into my car boot when I was out shopping one day Sending that parcel off to you tomorrow btw.

dann2707 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) BB has fully gone! All the ball bearings came pissing out haha. I knew it would only last a few ride so now it does this. http://youtu.be/GjAuip6KhFw Edited June 25, 2013 by dann2707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Done some more stuff to the bike waiting for the new BB to come helicoiled the maggy mounts to M6 and cut down my steerer to make the front end look a tad neater! The old helicoil was coming out, shoddy job done before by someone! Drilled out with the appropiate drill for the m6 tap set New thread done with the tap Helicoil inserted and the new bolt fits yay! Got some new mounts but they were black and silver mixed and matched so I dropped the whole clamp in a tub of stripper, this was the result the next day. The paint just peeled off as one haha, brill And finally the steerer cut down tapping the BB yolk and putting new tryall BB in today Might get at least one ride in before radfest... haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
