From an ancient Bicycling magazine advert 10$ head 10$ helmet

41k's easy I heard, 'no one will be left behind' type ride

Will add this to Tikki the clown today

Are clown bikes welcome

Finished this 'cheapie' today! Now I will also be faster, a better technical rider, lower heart rate for the same speed ...... and I heard my hair will grow back

Just finished this today ....

Same as what I did here? https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/104686-1-18-headtube-15-steerer-tube-is-this-possible/page__pid__1443751__st__20#entry1443751

mmmmmm I would say no else you could you just remove the reducers and fit the bearing but it doesn't fit hence the 'external' cup

Thanks! Build now going full steam ahead - won't take long

From what I saw today you are correct sir, no reason why you can't use the same cup at the top

Cup fitted Fork in place! Now just take her home and finish Tikki!

The old vs the new with the steerer tube

The new piece, essentially and external headset bearing cup The old cop that was originally in the frame The bottom of the frame headtube with the old cup removed

Sorry about the quality of the pics but thanks to Graham at Cyclehub (Rietvlei zoo farm Alberton) - He was knowledgable and more importantly willing to go to the trouble of getting the part and helping to fit it. I spoke to most bike shops around JHB and it ranged from no never heard of it .... to heard about it but no idea where to get it. That includes most of the big as well as specialist shops around!

OK guys and girls and doubters - mission accomplished The necessary 'bit' :- http://greenfishsports.com/product/363_364_380-headsets/19361-cane-creek-cane-creek-40-series-ec44-44mm-id-bottom-assembly-15.html

On my way to collect/fit said adapter, will report back later today

Touche dude :clap:

Still got some good pics you took of LittleBen (as he was then ....) at Fountains XC champs

I would think the soloair would be lighter and have better 'setup' capability .... If you're looking for a 29r one I have one for sale

Mmmmmmm I now have this problem ....... an LBS in my area say they have a solution - lets see what they can come up with Failing that I have an almost brand spanking new Rockshox Recon TK silver 29r (in white) with 1.5 tapered steerer available - any offers

Any development on this gents?

TOUCHE DUDE!

quote name='patches' timestamp='1310026495' post='1438186'] does the new one have less hills to climb? Or perhaps a ski lift for those who are "ascendingly-challenged" [

A bit cool out .... even 'Scotty' isn't moving
