JJ Leigh Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 I think it's the Hollowtech and Freewheel combination. You don't really see it on street bikes true, it is. ive got it on my Skye and it works PERFECTLY but its different for marinos i guess... Bike is looking rad mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 The frame is irrelevant, the parts sit the same no matter what bike they're on. Even if you're using the exact same cranks and hub as him, which I doubt. You're probably just making do with a chain line that he's not happy with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Bike looks good. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the brakes. I've just put the same set up on my bike. Still waiting for the rear to wear in. Im jealous of all you guys who can run the conti tires.the grip is amazing. Sadly they dont like me.

Filo Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I like to run my tires hard. Running these at 65psi I have had 2 tires split near the bead. On blew out on me as I was about to leave a ramp, went off with a bang. Blew a massive hole in the side. I thought it was just bad luck, however I had the replacement do it within 3 weeks.(lucky to be 4hr riding on both). I was working on my bike and noticed it. I was able to remove it before any issues. Looking at the bead, you can see where there's not much rubber around the threads and it was pulling away. I wish they were a bit more durable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i like cunning stunts Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Never heard of that issue with them before il see how i get on with them.. Ive noticed they have an up and down movement in them when spinning the wheels like on most contis ive run in the past!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yeah they're a right b*****d to get seated properly, mine aren't perfect and most people have noticed the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yeah. I'm noticed the same. Where the lowest part of the up and down movement is where the issue. They just don't seem to be suited to my weight, Riding style and pressure. I'm 115kg running 65psi. At 65psi the tire is still squirmy.

LEON Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 That's a lot of weight! How tall are you? I'm 92kg (200lb) which is pretty heavy compared to the typical trials whippet. I really don't like tyres too hard, I stop about 45, maybe 50 in the back, so I can't really comment on them at big pressures. Sidewalls have gotta be better than anything else out there though!

i like cunning stunts Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Anyone want to buy it? Lol Seriously can't see me getting along with it, it's a fun bike just not for me I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm a little over 6 foot. See how you go. I spend a lot of TIme at the skate park. I'd say that also helps contribute. Still shouldn't happen to a tire of the price and quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
