TitusTi Posted February 14, 2007 Share Sorry Buff, how 'bout we agree to diagree on this one? It looks unbalanced, heavy and out of proportion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buff Posted February 14, 2007 Share Yeah okay, but only coz you're having a bad day Why so miffed, did the roses cost that much? It looks a bit better when it has dirt on it though (Nov issue of Mounatin Bike UK). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks wrong, very wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichH Posted February 14, 2007 Share I'm with TitusTi, don't like the balance of the bottom tube versus the rear triangle, looks unbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buff Posted February 14, 2007 Share changing the subject quickly: Ti, does a person ever have to lube your DS bearings? If so, with what and how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted February 14, 2007 Share Nylon bushes you shouldn't. Sealed bearings you can just take apart the pivots and rotate the bearings by 90 degrees, once you've done this a few times or if there's any sort of stiction, replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haga Posted February 14, 2007 Share Hey Mint Sauce, TitusThank heavens it was sold at that stage, i actually heard about it, but was about a month to late. I already have the Redline 29'er in my basket with Chain reaction, but just holding on until i can afford a decent set of wheels & fork, i have all the other parts to build one up. Now just somewhere to hide it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted February 14, 2007 Share Hey, if you want I got a Whyte Brothers BW1.0 in my cupboard at home? Sell it to you cheap, cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haga Posted February 14, 2007 Share TitusIs that a 29' er fork, not that familiar with it, if it is drop me a personal e-mail and let me know what you want for it. Im sitting with a Fox RC36, like new, i should get rid of. Just sitting here in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
