(Deon) Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Hey Mad, I love your Reign.. Wait, I love mine too!! I'm confused, were you not selling those rims and wheels recently? I may still be interested in the rims if they are still up on the ads.. or are those them? (edit: I see they are still listed??) What good bikes.. Yours must be really quiet with the chain guide, which one is it? (and was it a hassle to get it to fit )   my reign, weighing in at 14.4kg without the reverb Edited June 10, 2012 by Pain or Shine
mad bout mtb Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 hey, yep its those rims that are up for sale. the pic of the rims is just a pic i had of them before they got built .hahaha glad to hear that somebody is interested in them .mmm..... the chainguide is a bit noisy actually but the new lg1 is way quieter. It is a bit of a hassle to get it set up on this frame, i had to grind the bolts and the iscg adapter to get it to fit properly but the chainline is now a bit out so if you ride in the lower gears a lot the chain wears faster than normal . I find that its a small price to pay though
Skott5 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 My new steed. She was finished yesterday in a rush to get out as it was a sunny day here in the UK. I still need to make some final tweeks and change a few components like the brakes from the current Avid XX to Formula The One's I have and shorten the shifter and brake lines to tidy up the front. Not everyones colour but I am very happy. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8163/7354989010_6201cb4080_b.jpg The Nomad is on my dreambike short list ..Very cool bike bud.What fork you running ?

Â Aw, was looking for rim only to lace to my Woodman hubs.. darn, there I go shopping again, and the colour was perfect... Â Did you ever look at the Stinger BB mount for the chain? I have seen that one will fit without too much hassle, only problem being that the BB does not grip tight enough causing the guide to move if bumped. I ordered one but stock was an issue, will try again soon.. Where did you get your ISCG adapter? Locally?

Same frame... different build. He went with Fox 32 Talas (kashima), full XTR drivetrain and brakes. ENVE carbon rims on Chris King hubs. It was amazing... until it got stolen  I hope your beauty doesn't suffer the same fate! Many happy miles!
(Deon) Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Ah perfect.. Crow, I need your help too. Looking for one of these, any chance CF knows where I could find one?? Have it on the front two years now and never adjusted.. Want it for the back now too .. I've seen pigs fly but still not another one of these.. (really, I've seen pigs fly) How's your Italian?  DRC DH21 downhill rim..   Yip Edited June 11, 2012 by Pain or Shine
