    mrp guide and crank maintenance questions

    Yeah, I figured the bb might be shot. How do I tell if the ring is too small? A 34 of course fits in the guide, but is there something I should be looking for to tell if it's not going to work correctly?

    mrp guide and crank maintenance questions

    I did...didn't get any replies so I thought I'd try here. The main issue's telling which guide it is so I can finish the build! All the rest of the parts are on their way.

    mrp guide and crank maintenance questions

    Ok, I recently got a great deal on a parts set, and had a few questions. Is there a way to tell the MRP G2 from the MRP G2 Mini? I'm trying to figure out what size ring to order. When I spin the cranks, they sound gritty. Like there's sand around there somewhere. Would this go away with a...

    stuck cranks, gritty bearings, and an MRP g2 question

    noob brake set up question

    Haha, I knew the adapters would be needed, I just wasn't sure if thickness etc affected the way the brakes would perform, and if the Saint rotors were in fact a different thickness than the Formula's. The budget hit comes from having to build the wheels with older Saint hubs/derailleur and...

    noob brake set up question

    Hey all, I'm working on a build, and I've hit an employment snag. I'm still looking to finish the build but the wheelset has taken a pretty brutal budget hit. Anyways, my question is this; Can I use 203mm Saint rotors (the old style) with 2011 Formula The One brakes? I've looked it up, and...

    New rig; Knolly Delirium or Uzzi VP (sorry in advance)

    Yeah, that's the way I was leaning too. I'd always thought the Uzzi was sexy though, and it's been on my dream list for a while. It works out to a little more than $400 more, if you factor in the headset, seat post, clamp, etc. Does anyone here who's owned one know if they have 12mm rear...

    New rig; Knolly Delirium or Uzzi VP (sorry in advance)

    I know these threads are hated! I'd just rather get some opinions before I drop a ton of coin on a new frame. I have two choices currently for my bike for this year. A 2011 Knolly Delirium, or a 2009 Intense Uzzi VP. The Uzzi was ridden for a few rides, the Knolly brand new. The Uzzi comes...

    Boxxer Vs Totem Vs 36 Van; New build help!

    All the 2010/2011 66's that I'd consider are in the $700 price range, only some falling into the lower prices but they tend to sell quickly. I'm also hoping for a tapered steer so I can keep my current stem, headset, etc. bullcrew, any thoughts on the new 66?

    Boxxer Vs Totem Vs 36 Van; New build help!

    Haha, thanks bullcrew. I swear you've ridden almost every part made. I too was leaning pretty heavily towards the Fox, I had an older 36 Talas on a previous bike and it was a very forgiving fork. Now if only I could find someone selling one in the $500 range.

    Boxxer Vs Totem Vs 36 Van; New build help!

    I've read up on, and talked to tech guys about Marzocchi and they have nothing but terrible things about the Marzocchi products up to late 2010/early 2011.

    Boxxer Vs Totem Vs 36 Van; New build help!

    I'm building up a new bike after being without one for a couple of years. I managed to score a pretty awesome deal on a Knolly Vtach frame, so that'll be the beast. I'll be riding a little of everything, leaning more towards the freeride/shore side. I'll be pedaling up, if it matters at all...
