Ali C Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I find ashtons ride better with a high front end, and take out thepin in your rohloff and have it tucked up towards the chainstays. Other than that, jobs agood'un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr22czar Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 mate that looks sweet! i really like it but then i like all ashtons. how much was the full setup??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huge Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Ali C - thanks for the tip on removing the tensioner pin-my chain had been skipping and this has sorted it+looks loads nicer Im not too sure about the cost as it was built in stages but I think I spent around £1000 so far.It actually feels quite long to ride, its good fun for street stuff and seems to cope with natural well but I do think the front needs to be higher as it is hurting my back slightly.thanks for your comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshywa Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Personally I'd put a very slight grind on the back rim koxx reds become out of this world with a very slight grind.... and maybe go up to a 185mm rotor on the front, but thats just how i like a bike looks wise it is the nicest ashton I've ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Owen. Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 changing stuff to make it feel better is a personal opinion. eg you might not like the feel of your bike but others may love it. i rekon its all down to your opinion. but then again, what do i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huge Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) what handlebars would you recommend? Ive tried flats, zoos, monty risers and none seem comfortable Edited December 8, 2006 by huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 what handlebars would you recommend? Ive tried flats, zoos, monty risers and none seem comfortable zoos are really nice on a stock. montys would be great but seem alittle narrow for stock. however just get a higher stem. i built my ashton tonite and its fricking amazing with that stem. stick with the ashton they ride so well and you ll get a lot out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubZero Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I' m ridin a Monkey Rizer handlebar very flicky for some streeti aktionz!Does anybody of you ashton riders use a brake booster?? just triedto put my rb booster on and got some problems ....i'll see if it works now....p.s: your bike is my desktopwallpaper!
