Thanks man, those hubs are whatever the stockers from a 2001 RM7 were. The wheels were originally built for use on a RM7 before they became the hoops for the Jack flash. So I dunno if they're rocky hubs or if someone makes those hubs for rocky... And yeah they're burly but I need that much strength on the back of my hardtail for umm...not riding so smooth sometimes ;) I guess I could lighten up the front but whatever it works no sense in spending more than I have to.

Well I can't say that I"ve ridden the gimp or even seen it in real life for that matter but I absolutely love my jack flash. It's one of two bikes I've ever had that I wouldn't sell or change a thing about it ever. It came together perfect for what I use it for. So I guess I'd have to say I reccommend the PX but it's a little biased ;)

I dusted off an old tablet I got somewhere, been messing around a bit. Keep in mind, I'm no artist. I had to trace a bit (bicycle frames are ^%@#$ deceptively hard to draw!), but tried to keep the tracing "loose".

Could you post a picture of just the bike? The add says you can get 2 sizes - is that 24 and 26" ?

I need to convert my son's rear wheel to a solid nutted axle. How do I go about it? He has a DT Onyx and we can't keep the rear wheel straight in the drop out with a QR. Damn horizontal drop outs.

The frame comes with adjustable canti mounts and the chainstay will allow a pretty big tire. I'll snap a picture when I can pry him off of it.

my 04 kona cafe.

the cafe s a specal edition made for and sold by the Bicycle cafe located in Canmore Alberta and Kamloops B.C. the spec is the same as an 04 Kona stuff but sports the roast's flat black and grey paint scheme the "CAFE" lettering on the top tube is in the same font as the shops logo and the frame also has the helicoptor of the cafe logo on it. a hayes HFX-9 6inch disc brake upgrade is also availible from kona and is installed by the dealer .

mine has been changed alot, I have the hayes upgrade aswell I chaged the seat from a Koan DJ to a Kona out of bounds, the grips from cowans to koan glow in the dark and the fork from the Marz drop off comp to a kona dirt jump rigid. also i put Tioga factory DH tires on

I dont know about converting the DT Onyx specifically. The hub I have on in the picture I bought with a 10mm solid axle. However, I did convert the XT hub on my other wheel to a 10mm solid axle. It was pretty easy, I went to a local shop and got a solid 10mm cromo axle (I think it was 178mm long, but I would check that before buying) then got some axle nuts for it. The threads on the axle are 10x1.0 metric threads. I just took the QR axle out and put the solid one in (make sure you keep track of what order the cones, nuts, etc come off in...) Hope this helps out!

imperials actually ride quite nicely with monsters on them.



if this were going to be a permanent setup i'd swap the reducers/king for the e13 zerostack reducer cup setup (http://www.e13components.com/zerostack_reducer_cups.html) which in turn would allow me to run a flat crown and no spacers.

toshi, how do you like that thing? any idea what it weighs in at? I really like the imperial frames and after racing for the first time this weekend and doing well on a hardtail i think i will build one up. Is that SS by the way?

Yes, thank you! You confirmed what JEffD's LBS told me. But he wasn't 100% sure about the thread pitch.
Here's the Steelhead ready for Snowshoe

it was pretty fun. the handlebars are too high imo, but with the zerostack setup it would probably feel just about right. and, yes, it is single speed. the monster is just a temporary thing until my "real" frame gets in (and then the z1 will be back to a sane build :D ).
