PP: I'm toying with the idea of going 29er for my SS, which would mean that my not-broken 16" 853 Inbred would be available.

al.

It's a nice offer thanks, but you'll want decent money for that I'll bet, and I was just hoping for a cheap spare in case mine got nicked. Out of interest, how much do you want for it...?

My 853 geared always had trouble with chainsuck. I know I know it can't be the frame but I wasn't the only one.

They all did. The frame doesn't CAUSE chainsuck, but the VERY VERY tight chainring clearance makes the consequences of it a LOT worse. Even Brant admitted it was too tight - On a classifides thread when my brother was selling his. Which screwed his sale up.

Sure Peter, I understand! It's hard to say what it would be worth. They're not going to make them again, so if you're a fan then it's a collectible and worth something. It's also a very nice thing.

Then again, it's a used steel frame.

It would be a mistake to ebay it I think...

Current Inbred 29er DN6 price is £153. Only purple or orange, but hey. Wheels at £127/pair. Carbon forks at £125. That's about £400, so I guess I'd hope to make a fair chunk of that.

Sure? I run two spacers on the driveside of my hollowtech BB and havent experienced any chain suck (the chain/rings are quite worn as well)- basically a year old with minimal maintenance.

What frame is this exactly - 853 Inbred, geared? There was about 2.5mm clearence between the big ring and the say on those. 'Twas silly tight. Far too close. Most people who had one reported the problem at the time, and AFAIK mine is the only one that was modded and cured of it. I've heard of a couple with snapped chainstays because of it.

Allan - Ahh, it's a whole bike is it. I'd just want a frame TBH, to stick to one side for a rainy day.

Ah no- DN6 456. He admitted that on your brothers classified thread?!

PP: No, those are the bits I'd need to convert to 29. So, if I got half what I need towards the conversion, then ebaying wheels, etc around the garage would make it up.

Yup. You've met Rob (Robdob, rides a Pitch with white bars, he's my brother), ask him about it on the next Peaks ride. He wasn't happy about it at all.

Ah yes- I noticed he suddenly gets very intense/serious looking when he sees the trail point downwards!

Hora, here you go, no need to ask -

"I really must do something about that chainstay clearance"

he suddenly gets very intense/serious looking when he sees the trail point downwards

Only because he's to unfit to climb!

Actaully Hora, I might be getting up to the Peaks sometime this year (50/50 chance) I'll let you know if I do, you might be able to show me round.

I indented the chainstay on mine after Brant condoned it on a thread here, got a good bit more clearance and changed to 22/36 which I think is much less sucky anyway

It got a few nasty scrapes before I did that but as that was 2.5 years ago or so and it's still together I guess no harm was done. I'd be gutted if I snapped it, the chainring clearance is it's only let down really

Trigger, I might be interested in your broken one, if you want shut of it let me know.
Bent the mech hanger on my steel 456 like PP (fixed with lots of TLC and a BFO hammer!!) and had an early ti456 break at the chainstay/disc mount join which was replaced under warranty with no issues.

Yup.

Won't buy another thing designed by Brant as long as I live.

Wouldn't ride anything by him even if it was free.

As regards to my fitness, I agree I am no marathon man. I've always been a good sprinter, did district level sprinting for my school. I have always struggled with endurance.
I went out on my road bike with a friend of mine who does time trials etc and is super fit. There was one point in the ride where I sprinted through a traffic light junction and overtook 3 cars. When he caught me up down the road he admitted that he just couldn't keep up with me and dropped way back. Should've been a track rider!!

Sorry to hijack thread a bit...

Mmmmmmmm, got a 456 summer season, (btw hi rob and pete), I picked it up the other day, I mean literally picked it up, by the seat tube to lift it over a trail obstacle, wasn't a wall or anything, honest and there was a loud crack sound from the frame. Had a good look and can't see anything.

Is it just going to implode and suck me into a black hole soon?

SiCole and cynic-al need shooting! the Tinbred obviously committed sepuku

Thing is, why buy a heavy hardtail frame when you can nowadays buy sorted full-suss frames for the SAME weight?

My 853 is 4lb 10oz, IIRC. I weighed it before I built it up. (I know it's 1/2lb lighter than a standard Inbred too, because I had one of those too)
I dare you to find a FS frame that's lighter than that....Are there any? Yeti ASR maybe?
