Andy - what the deuce is going on with your cabling mate
I wasn't a fan.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I was running a 1x9 which was 'borrowed from another bike, so I didn't fancy cutting down the cable.
The Hopes were new, and I had just placed them on the bike. Shorter now. And 1x1.
Sorry to offend your aesthetics

And well you should be! - fence needs sorting too.

That was the good bit! Beech tree had just been felled, hence all the chippings on the ground!

Nearly but not quite finshed in the pic. I couldn't quite get on with it; it was too flipping short!

any excuse
Daffy, nice choice of rims

Short in what way, ScottChegg? Length or height?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Looks like height and length to me. You about 6'1" SE? Looks like a 410mm Thomson at pretty much full extension and a 110mm stem.
My 18" was all kinds of wrong for me too.

oh that is nice whipper, is that a Ti post as well? Andy those DT forks look just right on there.. how do they handle on the 456?
Well mine will be having a set of Magura Thor's, hope mini pro's (green team) EX1750 wheels in white etc... just need to strip my old bike down 1st
any excuse for a beer and a bike build! im 5 11 and have gone for an 18"...... should be ok looking at the geo!

Daffy - I'm nowhere near. I'm 5'10" and ride a 17" P7. The received wisdom was that a 16" would be OK, the 18" would be waaay too long. The Thomson is a 410mm, but there was plenty in the seat-tube, it could be the angle.
I always found it too short; It was like sitting on the bog with my hands on my knees, and I can't tell you why. My P7 fits just so and I can't say where the difference is. That's the joy of try before you buy, I suppose.

And that is a 100mm stem, the 50mm (!) that was recommended felt like having my hands behind my back.
I'm sure I must have ape arms or something.

I'm sure I must have ape arms or something.
Or just needed the 18? I did read up that I may need a 20" (so lots of different advice)as I may be inbetween sizes.... mmmm I prefer shorter bikes and normally go 17.5, hopefully an 18" with 70mm stem will be spot on (I hope). There is a guide on on-one which states most people need an 18"http://www.on-one-shop.co.uk/?page_id=940
I hit the 18 or 20, guess it depends if you prefer long or short bikes, I thinkk who ever told you that you need a 16" needs to be shot!!
Posted 2 years ago # -
18" might have done it, but all interweb wisdom said the 18" would be too big/long. Once I'd taken the plunge I wasn't keen to repeat the experience. Tried it, got it out of my system, move along.

is that a Ti post as well?
after the s**t-kicking my Chameleon and Thomson post gave me I fancied a bit of comfort so yep, a Van Nicholas ti post and ti saddle too. It worked

nice... I looked up the prices of a ti post and then decided to buy a small country instead..... almost as expensive as a frame! I did used to have a dean ti post, it was great but sadly needed cash so had to sell the damn thing!
Posted 2 years ago # -
it's worth it...although a small country could be nice too

Here is mine.....

Hmmphh, mine currently awaiting new wheel, will do pictures for next thread,

Think sometimes you need a high rise stem / bars / big steerer stack to get some of Brant's frames to fit. Sure I recall him saying this somewhere when someone mentioned the "short" HT on frames he designed.

The forks work Great! The axel crown length is shorter than a set of pikes (just!) and the knock down to 100mm is great for slugging it out up a steep hill. I got the QR versions, but in retrospect I would have bought bolt thru if these hadn't been on offer on the Pace sight.

SE - I felt the same, like a baboon on a bike. I always felt like I was on top of it rather than part of it.
It was blummin good fun while descending, but just lackluster for everything else.
I prefer my steel IF.

I realised my 18" was far too small for me after buying a 29er. It was bloody good fun at the time though.
