NixM Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Magic Carpet Ride, as good as it gets Aaah, MCR = Magic Carpet Ride, sorry i am a bit slow. What a strange name!
RocknRolla Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Sweet Ride NixM At the risk of being burnt at the stake by the Niner purists, Why the Tensioner (WTT)? I see the drop-outs on the back, and I assume the frame then does not take an eccentric BB?
the nerd Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Aaah, MCR = Magic Carpet Ride, sorry i am a bit slow. What a strange name! That's how good the ride is...

I see the drop-outs on the back, and I assume the frame then does not take an eccentric BB? Unfortunately the MCR does not have an EBB. Although they share the same geometry as the S.I.R that's the only difference.. RocknRolla 1
NixM Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Like I said build from spares lying around, didn't want to spend money on an eccentric BB and only the the SIR 9 can run one.Was so close to been able to run it without the tensioner but not quite there unfortunately. RocknRolla 1
