The MTB thread

LOL , to be honest if that one went over £40 I would rather get a new one , convert those Dollar prices to Sterling and your talking about 48 hour delivery to here for like £117 for the remote one

The dollar price is without VAT though, if you put in a UK shipping address it goes up. Still bargainy though. Though I wonder if they're the same spec as the UK ones, all the seals got redesigned for us because the standard one didn't work in mud.

Yeah , I have not looked at the pros/cons yet as it is early days , just gotta hope I have a 31.6 post somewhere in my part bins , the Thomson on my On-One is a 27.2 I think .

Nice one on the win Badger! Look forward to seeing it built up!

Cheers man , will document it like I did with the On-One

I've got a bonty 31.6 that came with the frame, which you're welcome to for the price of postage. It's s**t though Very very very heavy for no apparent reason. TBH you'd be better off just getting a shim though, it'll cost the same as the post on this randomly heavy scaffold pipe.

Cheers for the offer , I`m sure I have something somewhere . By the way , those cracked subframes were only on the Medium model , this is a large , Cy from Cotic was quite helpful with that info as I checked that the bike wasn`t reported Stolen you see .

Slight update on my mission to find out what forks I have, weather I have 160mm versions, or RS lie about travel and I have 180's that travel 160 lol. I have signed upto pinkbike.com forums as there is a huge thread about the scott voltage bikes and asked people to measure sanctions... Mine measure from seal to crown at 178mm, so obviously cant possibly be 180mm travel, that and most I can get is 160mm travel when I try to bottom them out. So far one proper reply and they have 178mm measure and someone else who guessed he had more, not too helpful really ha ha.

Anyone know a good forums? Or know anyone that might know these things and could ask?

Cheers

Ah, didn't know that. Cy is a cool feller, he spent ages helping me get the soul set up just right. You seen the new beefed up chainstays they do now? Like the forth bridge

Greek , stick a cable tie around your stantions and then put the front brake on and bounce all your weight on the front fork with back end off the ground , measure from rested position to the bottom of the cable tie and there is your travel .

Northy , you can actually buy the 2010 rear end to stick on an older frame
