do u guys think that, useing the backplate and rollers ect for a blackspire like in the pic would work with gears? or would it need the top guide changing? or would a mr dirt be better since it incloses the chain.
i wouldn't be too botherd about moding it but i'd prefer not to,
so help a out plz

sounds cool. alls people have to be is nice and theyll get their way most of the time. i have a hardtail sop i respect your thread.Originally posted by Warped

spookysim its not mine its just given me an idea since my dmr it total cack. (mines the pashley about 100 pages back with the green drop offs on )Originally posted by spookysim
priss! pleeeease leave it as s/s and even drop the blackspire backplate. that 24 is far too cool for gears as it is. (changing my 99 metalhead to s/s just as soon as i can figure the rear disc options for new hub etc)

This was how my hardtail was. I was runnin 5" jnrs with a loose headset and there went my headtube. Im now waiting for green dropoffs. It's so cool to see hardtails like ones in this thread because I come from England and everyone criticised me and bike cos my country is full with stuck up twats.
i came to the same concluion after a while since the mr d has bit for the chain to go through unlike the blackspire's.Originally posted by spookysim
PRISS -erm personally I'd take the mr dirt over the blackspire option purely cos i have had bad experiences with chain retention devices which simply fail to retain the chain! -that is to say the blackspire one is compromised for geared use if you use it as suggested.

What is that?
Is it dirtjump-specific, or sort of an all-rounder like their other hardtails?Originally posted by PGR

I'm absolutely positive this is not what you're in the market for... But it *IS* a quite burly hardtail.
9lb steel frame.
47.5lbs complete.
Gazzy 26x3.0 front and rear.
Stratos S8 5" travel(thanks R!).
I think of it as my pedal powered monster truck.
