No worries cheers for the heads up about 18bikes, enjoy the new BR it looks sweet.

Will you be having a Friday night build tread like mamadirt does?

Can you remember off hand the OD of the seat tube on your current/old BR jedi?

34.9

EDIT: too slow.....

Just for comparison a lot of frames have a 34.9 OD / 30.9 ID seat tube. Most Santa Cruz for example, so reaming out shouldn't be a problem unless you're giving it a hard time. 🙂

Thanks slowrider and jockhaggis, much appreciated.

If my frame has a larger seat tube OD than 34.9 i'll email 18bikes otherwise i'll just go down the route of a 27.2 and shim untill i can afford a new frame.

I don't do the same type of riding as jedi but being a bit of a clumsy hefer it'd probably be a safer bet.

Well maybe not if the santa cruz bike are ok with it?

Specialized frames also have a 30.9 id and 34.9 od.

Looking good Tony. Think I can see the shock clearance issues they were on about from that pic, hopefully it'll be ok though!
