Paperclip Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hey man, as said via PM I got them sent but not as early as wanted. Hopefully early next week so I get to see your bike all nice and rideable before I head away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) little update as it is today Chain is on the bike, front brake as well, need to sort out the cups, that are on post, and rear brake. I took a look at the adapter and caliper and realised that it would be wiser to machine down like a mm from the caliper then the adapter as it seems really thin there So hopefully it will be ready by friday... Brakes will be changed, for a BB7 front, and something for the rear, as the MT2 lever started to leak somewhere strange spot... probably from the cable connection, but I cannoit say it 100% Edited April 16, 2014 by UKHippY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 love those wheels....do they do them in 26"? they did, it is on Tarty, but it was discontinued.. if you want the same rim in 24 you must go as far as Germany, or further :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 liiitle update: Bike is pretty much assembled, it was the first time when I was nearly on the bike, and damn, it was a good choice! I have 3 problems left though: 1. No headset cups, they are on the post..... 2 3, brakes, both of them are rubbing hard, and the MT2 lever seems to leaking.. so the plan is to survive and keep them alive and get a pair of BB7/ Clarks Skeleton/S2 for Tartydays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 When I sent you the mt2 lever onto the echo caliper I said it needed bleeding as all I have done is attached them as I snapped the mt2 caliper. Just incase you haven't had it bled. (p.s. before I get accused of being a scammer by anyone after reading the above I gave him the brake) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(p.s. before I get accused of being a scammer by anyone after reading the above I gave him the brake) Sorry I though it was clear, I did not, I mean I was aware it was not 100% and you stated as well, and you gave it for free for the frame, so you did not scammed me, just t make clear at both sides I was just hoping that it would survive until the new brake came... and technically it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 so after putting on the rear brake, that seems superb, I gave it a quick go, fully assembled It feels so much solider than the previous bike 2.5 bars= I wont be part of eightypsi. soon, and it seems rock hard from the very soft trial tires, but still bearable It does not feel that strange, although the 2.4 front tyre and the 24 wheels are large and... interesting in a good way It feels short, probably because of the wheels and the short stem (compared to my prev mod) DD Is interesting in a good way I forgot to ride and I think I need to learn it again from the beginning... it will be a long journey ! But overall, it feels really promising 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshole82 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 i didn't realise until the past few updates that you actually rode trials before, i thought you were a total newb like me! it's good that you have some skill already, you just need to get used to the feel and how it responds. in contrast to you, i rode a mates BMX the other week and nearly hurt myself hopping a curb, those small wheels and high bars make the front flip up too quick! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall, it feels really promising Same here, I've had years of riding stuff with big stems that push all your weight over the front, now I have a steel framed streety 24. It's like learning to ride again, a new challenge. Good luck my friend, see you at tarty days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I gave up on short stems and went for something that suited me more, If you feel "Cramped" Then just opt for a longer stem. It's all dependant on what moves you prefer doing and whatnot in my opinion. I find longer stem's harder to level out on bunyhops and spins but I love everything else on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I was talking about 10mm longer not 40mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsquirt Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 150 is likely to be too long unless you're massive 120-135 is best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
