    Singlespeed 150mm rear hub.

    DT Swiss showed this hub at the 2006 Eurobike exposition. It is a prototype and designed specifically for gear bikes. Looks like the market is still too small for a 150mm SS Hub. Another one is this, but i think it has 135mm...

    Saint Crank...how to polish?

    I tried the SS setup for a couple of rides. It was pretty quiet and nice but not very practical so i switched back to 9speed. Just wanted to give it a go... As long as the frames are 60XX alloys they won't need any "preserving" coating at all. Try to get the best finish using different...

    Saint Crank...how to polish?

    The Saints are not painted, they're anodized. You will have to remove it chemically or mechanically. I used a Dremel drum sander to remove the thin coat and different polishing tools to get the mirror finish. A lot of work but worth it. Regards Matt

    Austrian/ German Bike Parks Open Late September

    Got the V10 and would take this one again. Cheaper (over here), much lighter and never had any issues with its kinematics...

    my polished M3

    6000 alloys don't need any further treatment unlike 7000 series. A good (high speed disc not rag and compound!!!) polishing densifies the surface and doesn't need to be clearcoated to stay shiny. Fingerprints??? Regards Matt

    Current lead time on 2008 Santa Cruz V10?

    Ordered mine end of Sept. 2007 and got it about three weeks ago. Probably one of the first ones on the other side of the pond... I already took the powdercoat off for a subsequent polishing...

    My new VEEEEEE

    I took the guide's backplate off because it needs some minor modification to fit the frame. No ISCG on the 05 models... I like the sticker, its a No Fear by the way ;)

    My new VEEEEEE

    Thanks for the appreciation! Weight is measured 17,1kg with this configuration. The tires are 2,35" single ply with standard tubes (nothing for rough terrain), so proper DH tires should ad another 1kg . I'm thinking about switching to a lighter crankset, e.g. Middleburn or XT Hollowtechs...
