Just measure across the centre, going to be 49mm or 56mm and I suggest the top would be 44mm…

Jay

I think it would be a 44/56 but you really need to check with where ever you bought the frame from…

Jay

What Frame?

They’re not identical to the Mount Zooms, but they have the same rise etc as the kinesis bars, the only minor problem you may have is that they haven’t been in stock for at least 6 weeks…

I have the flats and they are very good, I was looking to get another set and am still waiting!

Jay

You would need fitting kit 2, though you will still have to use your own banjo bolts…

Jay

Scott

Do you have to go through evans, if you can mail order you will get much more with the likes of Canyon or 29er

Hard to see a benefit from that frame?!

The life is Long anyway, unless you are built like a baboon, or have a frame that’s way too small you will want a shorter stem…

Bizarre ride for me today, from dry dusty trails, to thick clay and finally into 3 foot frozen snow drifts ❓

Jay

Which are you wanting to convert – Fork or wheels?

Forks you will need new lowers, some wheels can be converted with adapters and some can’t!

You’ll need to clarify what you want to do!

Jay

I have a scandal V2 and love it, great VFM and a great ride…

Jay

On-One’s slackset fits any of our Smoothie Mixer compatible frames

Should fit…

Evos are tubeless ready, you will need sealant or they will deflate at the first thorn…

They are not UST. I have never had any trouble with schwalbe tyres.

Jay

Rim Tape, Valves, Gunk! 😉

Jay

Bizarre to choose a frame around a headset and narrows the field somewhat…

Virsa Decade

Jay

Can’t see that there will be a huge amount of difference, the lattitude is a decent frame with similar geometry…

Jay

Anthem with finance…

Scalpel.

Triple at the front will be a bit of a strain for a medium mech I would have thought!

Jay

What about a Charge Cooker, that tange prestige tubing should provide some zing. They are going for £300 at JEJames..

I think the head tube needs to have an ID of 44mm or more, so if the frame takes a normal 1 1/8th lower then you cannot fit tapered steerers. Of course someone may be along to correct me…

Jay

I work for a Newspaper/Magazine wholesaler and I can tell you for a fact that newsagents/High street stores have very little input as to what is put on their shelves.

Seriously!

I’ve used them a few times, I can also remember when the shop was in Belper!
Was it? I remember Cyclone in the 90’s but not MA being there.

Definitely on the main street, 3 storeys of dingy 10×10 rooms, clothes on the bottom floor and toilet used as a changing room. Bought my Mrs a Trek 920 from them…

76 Bridge Street….

I’ve used them a few times, I can also remember when the shop was in Belper!
Never had any issues and I am not employed by them!

Jay

How about a Pivot or a Niner, are they “niche” enough?

123ml

Jay

You ride 3-5 days a week and you’re bearings “only” lasted a year?

I’d say that you were lucky to have bearings last that long with that amount of riding!

As already said Kasae does good bearings and refills them with a waterproof grease.

Superstar?

No problems with mine, no build issues at all.
Set up tubeless easily, nice and light and decent quality hubs.

Jay

The hub would need an adaptor

Jay

bearings are available from superstar when they need changing – on one don’t sell replacement bearings….. see numerous other threads about that.

But the superstar bearings fit in the OnOne mixer headset 😉

onone
Same as Superstar but twice the price 🙁
Cheaper than anywhere else though!

Jay

CRC have an older SLX cassette going cheap here

Jay

£48.74

Hope this helps…

Jay

Yes they need tape!

Pipedream Sirius comes in a fetching green and is 853 to boot…

I have some, I ain’t light, they haven’t broken!

Nuff said!!!

or get some 24″ innertubes and make your own rim strips a-la ghetto

Jay

Yes you’ll need new forks(or fork lowers) and a 15mm front wheel. Is the next bike up not equipped with a 15mm fork?
