Yeah, it's a bit tight. though it actually has more clearance than the frame I was planning to use. That frame has modular dropouts, so I'm getting some adapters made. I make my final decision once those are made. The chainguide is this one http://dialdbikes.co.za/dartmoor-simple-chain-guide.html http://dialdbikes.co.za/images/detailed/0/chain_device_Simple.jpg

Not bad for a 21 year old frame!

Just finished her......again. This time shod in 650Bs

You should hear what the trail builders say!!! Anyway, how's the chain/derailleur setup working now?

Brake BEFORE the corner, not in the corner. (It's actually quicker) A light feather in the corner is fine, just don't drag the back wheel.

You should be using your front brakes much more than your rear brakes (like 70% vs. 30%) The rear wheel locks up a lot easier than the front due to physics; Centre of Gravity, etc. The front brake will also stop you a lot quicker.

Some more pics

I want!!!!

Shame, it's a much more invasive procedure for the girls. She may be a bit miserable and/or sleepy for awhile

You can order tubing from here http://www.framebuilding.com/

Sorting the chain length out with some half-links tonight

So finally got round to finishing it Rigid mode A bit of sus-loving for those moments of weakness.

What can it run up front?

2014 Trance 650B

Maybe in the valleys, but not likely on the exposed areas. Depends on what the seedbanks hold

Hey Jay_B Where are you based? I was thinking something along those lines fairly recently. Just time and other got in the way. Keen to pick up on it again. Need to practice my inventor skills. Any chance I could get a could of those files to use as a base for my design? Thanks

It looks like it (or at least close to it), I have the compartment number that are being harvested this year but need to confirm the actual compartments on a map.

It requires a burn to happen in order for the Fynbos to really start germinating. This is supposed to happen within a year of the harvesting and can take a LONG time to really take hold. (growth cycle, assessment, more possible burns, etc.) Despite what we have been told to date, the burn is NOT going to happen this year, confirmed by the Parks fire Manager. What is happening in the meantime is that the Pork Jackson and Wattle is moving in and while start posing a stafety issue wrt wild fires, etc. Also surprise, surprise, also grows better after a fire/burn.

I have a fixie if that will interest you. What size does he need?

Guys have been running 140mm forks on the front of their PYGAs and doing pretty well on Enduro events. But sounds like the PYGA 150 650B is the way to go for you.

Link?

Anyone know you I can contact to get something like this made? (inexpensively...) http://enduro-mtb.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/gt-6428-2-780x520.jpg

Currently a 650B with a Crossmark fits (just), fits the Diamondback too but with more clearance There's also this http://enduro-mtb.com/en/the-gt-26-650b-conversion/ Just need to get the adapters made/

GT Sanction

I've asked him about combined shipping. Unfortunately I don't think it will shoehorn into my frame, the Dirt Wizard should work though
