I’ve built the bike up without the cranks but a BB in put a iron bar through the BB and stood on the bar even with force there’s no creak as soon as I put the cranks in the creak is back !!!
Tried XT and 2 sets of SLX cranks and the same result
Think I’m going back to the Knolly at this rate !!
Andy-R I’m with you all the way my previous mk10 was awesome and the H-3 I ride is the best hardtail I’ve had by a long way so it’s gonna be a day tomorrow of messing about with the mk12
I was gonna say thanks in Russia spooky_b329 but way beyond my pay grade – well the STW massive may have come to the rescue and saved me £120
I might carry on looking for the creak as it seems the weld is good
The dealer did say he’s never sent a frame back in the 9 years he’s been at it so I’m assuming we are good
Checking the oracle (google) the EPO takes a fork 120mm-140mm so a 490 a2c is still on the table I have just always had suspension forks saying that the exotic are £100 which is the price of a fork service so to try it won’t be that much of a ‘gamble’ or am I just talking myself into it ???
Discussed with the Mrs and I have ordered a 2 screw wheels mfg rear hanger she is aware if it snaps and she goes tarmac surfing it’s not my fault !!!
See how long that lasts
Did the aftermarket hangers solve the problem or is it just a toss design ? I only paid £125 for it off ebay it’s absolutely brand spanking new so i could always relist it don’t fancy paying out for mech hangers every few months
I had talked myself out of it but reading the comments I am tempted to give it a go I have got some WTB Kom rims on CRC down to £72 so minus the spokes around £200
