its the 21.5 tt, and thanks. I got my headset and new hubs in today so once my wheels are built all I will be waiting on is the forl but I might throw on an old fork I have just to be able to ride it till the dj1 comes in.
As she sits now... Come spring, new frame/new components.
Why are you running the chain under the idler pully? Should it not go over the pully?A Grove said:
Aye. The idler pulley that came with the guide (e.thirteen) was rubbery, and eventually got torn to peices using it at a tensioner. So I just fired up the lathe and made something that fit the application better. Also, with the gear ratio I'm using, the chain is too long/too short to use the tensioner pulling up.
It holds.. for a few hours. But eventually, the outboard bearing loosens enough for the guide to move rendering me stupid or with a broken face while cranking away.
Heres My STP

Alright, I need help. Everytime I attach pics they come up as thumbnails. How can I work in normal sized pics?
Host them elsewhere? photobucket, imageshack, etc.
sweet bikes! they look awesome. what type of saddle is on the iron horse?]

Yes sir. New and improved that is. Bill Grove is my pops.
no kidding all the old time guys at the shop still rave about that stuff from back in the day, never had the pleasure since it was before my time...
what market are you guys planning on catering to?
Welp, the pops has re-done the X-Frame in Ti and a 29'er. It was built specific for a rohloff.
9'ers and Cross bikes are where my father wants to go, but I plan on doing a 5inch slopestyle bike of some sort once my current project is finished up.
Cheers,
Aaron

haven't seen these bikes around since the early 90s at the western pa/mid atlantic races. Never new they were local...
interested to see what the new stuff looks like.
IMO a grove your bike would be better w/a rear tensioner if you really need one...
Reason being, if you bash the CG from the bottom it could rotate and cause chain too skip = you eat ****...

well i like the $500 black market frme with a dart on it. he really went all out on the fork there.
Well if you would read the post you would see that it was the only low travel fork I had lying around. And that I put it on so I could roll around on the bike till my 08 DJ 1 comes in.
…but yeah that requires effort on your part which well yeah

. give me a few and I will take some full shots
very nice clean shots, what camera you runnin?
Camera is a canon 400d, lens used was the kit lens I have another one but it’s a fixed 50mm. Want some more lenses but it’s pricey and my bike and some other stuff is priority.
I have had fun on it and it is an awesome bike and set up thanks for all the comments, when I stop being lazy here in a sec I will go take some full bike pics and post them up.
EDIT: Oh yeah about the 50/50s they are the brand new 08's which have had some stuff worked on compared to the 07's it seems. My friend has the 07's and had some issues but I have had none
