Must make the ride even sweeter knowing theres a buck toothed hillbilly up your rump.

Cool as hell, and them tires look WIDE! I thought it was a 26 inch bike for a sec. :mrgreen:

the wheels are superb - they really do make up for the lack of suspension - soaking up the hits and it gliding over roots!

The only downside is sometimes the thing picks up so much speed it gets a bit gnarly... but it just takes getting used to...

On-one even supplied me with some paint in case i scratch it - lovely stuff!

Been told that those wheels and forks your selling should fetch good money on ebay.

Got to get in touch with stif for a disc kit (involves frame drillage!!) and a seat pin the correct size.

Did rotating the seat clamp through 180degrees help with the creaking?

NO! NO! NO! i got a disc kit from stiff to run hopes on that frame, but it got lost when i went all XC and put rim brakes on it... YOU DO NOT NEED TO DRILL THE FRAME - i certainly didnt and ran a hope disc on that frame norproblem.

re: the clamp - it made no difference, turning it either way - it was the same.

i had spotted the outline of a disc mount and decided it probably didnt need drilling

ill have a good search around the garage tonight for the disc mount, i stuck some Vs on it [the SC] a while ago and the disc mount got lost when we were doing some building work on the garage, which is a sh*tter...

If i find it i will let you know...
