PYGA1 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Got my eldest son a Momsen 20inch mtb for his birthday, awesome bike, I converted the tyres to tubeless so no punctures ZOINCS, SeaBee, Delilah and 5 others 8
Christopher Brunsdon Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Schweet  Upgrade his V brakes to these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=34698 - LX (I got the XTs and they are the bomb) Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
PYGA1 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 How did you do the tubeless conversion?My LBS did the conversion, used a rim strip, tubeless valve and sealant
Swim.Bike.Run Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 nice aggressive saddle for a laaitie!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 +1 on the v brakes. One cannot misunderestimate the importance of braking quality. Â And yes, the "Bush-ism" was deliberate!
madvics Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 looking good, cant wait for the day I can teach my son to ride slayer 83 1
Big JD Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) 20inch, can it be? 20 inch wheel I suspect, not frame.... Edited September 12, 2012 by Big JD
PYGA1 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 Â Â 20 inch wheel I suspect, not frame....Correct, 20 inch wheels, kids bikes are measured by wheel size i.e. 12 inch, 16 inch, 20 inch etc
slayer 83 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Thats so cool! This is what every father should do for his kids, can just imagine how much fun he will be having on that bike, memories for a life time! PYGA1 1
PYGA1 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 I bet it's heavier than your PYGA!I wish ! This bikes tips the scales at 8.9kg quite a few less than my Pyga. This is the main reason I spent a bit more, the 20 inch Avalanche in comparison weighs 11.8kg which is a huge difference when you're a kid and only weigh about 20kg yourself
