boon racoon Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hey all Got sorted out with Curtis forks and a Tioga saddle at the bikeshow. Looks a lot better so than my old setup I posted about a month ago thought i'd bang some more up to date pictures up. Soon to be set up with Tioga 24" rims once they arrive :D :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Matt it looks like it ways about 50 tone? ← Looks pretty light to me? I've certainly seen way heavier looking bikes than that! :D When can we expect a 24inch vid then matt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 spray forks the same colour and match the colour of the stickers on them to those on the frame and your onto a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMunn Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Deffinatly prefer this set up but think the fork's should be black. But still, nice bike. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Jones Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Awesome looking steed there Matt! Word of warning, the Tioga rims are apparently crap, ask Ashton about that one! :D Naa, just watch the Ashton Demo video from TM1. Says it all! Although, the 24's maybe a little stronger? Good luck with it all non the less! Jonny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the666ers Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 That was the XC rim Jonny, it's slightly different to the DH one. It would be like someone buckiling a X517 and then saying that the D521 is shit...... Get what I mean? Anyhoo I challenge you to find another 24inch rim which is double walled and eyeletted, has a welded join and is a decent width for 25 quid....There arent any. The atomlab DHR's are cheese rims, and most of the others don't offer the quality of build that the Tioga does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hey all Got sorted out with Curtis forks and a Tioga saddle at the bikeshow. Looks a lot better so than my old setup I posted about a month ago thought i'd bang some more up to date pictures up. Soon to be set up with Tioga 24" rims once they arrive :D :P ← YESS!! Lots nicer! Those knifens were gash, soz. :D But those new forks looks the part, still could have better in black or even green :P . Oh god im picky :P Cheers, Joe.

boon racoon Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 well the atomlab rims are proving a bit "weak" for my thrashing and tiogas are the only other ones I can get hooked up with for nowt. I like the idea of the welded join and that though. Do you have to grind them to use a rim brake? cos i don't have a grinder and would probably maime myself if I even tried to grind my rims >_< lol the forks. well it was either have them now / for the show without paint, or not have them and get them painted. i might paint them black myself soon if I can be arsed. shadow seat will be back phil. i'm waiting for my hope QR seatclamp and braided hose to come through, and an atomlab seatpost (with the rims.) with all this all on I can get barspun up if i switch seats to the shadow one and pop the post up. depends what i feel like on the given day i guess, certainly looks fly with the tioga one though (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 nah, you don't have to grind them, someone on here runs one on his ET without a grind, says it was fine >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
