awesme Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 hehehe says he with how many, think I've counted 6 bikes, ye ye some is the misses and son's but lets see, at least 4 is yours... I'm more keen on looking for a 650 wheel set onto my current bike, G(only thing bout current bike is the weight, it's heavy: 14,2Kg) LOL @ YOU - You have a nice and very capable bike already...
TheV Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Don't think the 650's will fit your fancy forks... you need real mans suspension to take a 650b wheel, i.e FOX!!!!!
awesme Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Need to corner nsBB, and have a fitting. Might just change mine to 650 for now and then look at a new frame next year, hint hint Momsen, i'l be looking for a FS. G

javadude Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I'm known to have a good few lie downs every now and then...so my main question would be...If the Chinarellos aren't an established international brand, what guarantee do you have that they are made properly?Ie. the carbon is woven properly or the correct number of layers. I wouldn't want the front section to give way on me...owwwww... Like any big purchase, you do your research. Go spend a few days reading every China thread at the following forum, and you'll soon figure out who you can trust and who to steer clear of: http://forums.roadbikereview.com/bikes-frames-forks/

I find it funny how you say the Chinarellos aren't established brands... when 95% of all carbon frames are Chinarellos with an "international brand" sprayjob on. I have spoke to two Chinese factories. They do their own inhouse testing of frames, which gets certified (EN Standard), and they also have to send frames to their equivalent of our SABS.

I'm not trying to argue - but just because they say that doesn't mean they do it...(testing)The Chinese are known to cut corners to keep costs to a minimum. I would like to hear from other Hubbers what Chinarellos they have (road & mtb)- maybe that will convince myself & more Hubbers to try that avenue. Most of us would like to save a bit and be able to buy more bling... Edited July 26, 2012 by mrbaker
BergForce Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 rather get this....but kudos to Momsen for staying current....... Where can one get that Ritchey P29? That`s styling! Just did a search to find out...zero, nothing, nada.
awesme Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Da bubble it's burst Technical question though, why, does the Fox allow more space between wheel and top arch of the fork and the RockShox does not?

Flowta Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Hey G as TheV says if you aint got that REAL fork aka Fox it aint gonna work Tried my back wheel in a 120 at the shop today and no way it will work ..... With Fox you know they will work but it doesn't have to be a Fox, there are some Rockshox, Manitou, etc. that do work.
