    fork clearance question

    hello, sorry if this is posted wrong. I have a question that has been perplexing me for a long time. on the mountain cycle website, it says the battery has a "fork clearance" of 125mm-to-whatever what would happen if I ran a 100mm fork on it? I dont really understand fork clearance...

    BB question+mismatched crank arms

    okay, so, I got an amazing deal on a older truvativ holzfeller crank set yesterday at my LBS. Its not really an LBS so much as a "local nonprofit donating bikes to homeless children". but they also have a bike shop. The reason I buy stuff there is that they only sell parts second hand and you...

    haro escape 8.2 question

    the bike mechanic didnt actually really know what was going on. she said it didnt fit in the headtube. the headtube isnt damaged. I think it might be that the headtube needs a zero-stack headset instead of a regular threadless. I wish I could be of more help but the mechanic was pretty vague...

    haro escape 8.2 question

    Okay. I finally bought a frame. I have started buying parts for it and run into a problem. I talked to a mechanic one of my LBS's and she said that the headtube needed a 1 1/4" headset with reducers because it was a "wierd headtube". I kinda thought this was bull so I went and looked...

    stupid, stupid question

    sorry about that, yeah heres the link: x.7 build kit to refine my question: I already have the frame and fork and I thought the kit gave you everything else you need to have a working bike but I don't think it does and I cant tell what it doesn't give you.

    banshee morphine setup idea, first real MTB
