Just built it up today. Anyone have experience with the amount of spacer(s) needed on the drive side BB cup for a nice clean chain line?

Wish I could ride right now, but it's dark and about 15 F. Uhhhhhhh!

 

[lovebunny]

[seismic]

[Lefty]

[konastab01]

[TurnerDHRider]

DAMN nice ride dude!! I knew i should have got the M3 rather than the V10..but meh..V10 is good..but am still waiting for the frame..

I remember looking at the 1st pics of the M3 and thinking it was real ugly (especially compared to the M1 which is the most sexy bike ever and will be forever) but they have a strange habit of growing on you. Sexy bike for sure.

Sorry I cant help with the tech enquiry, but I am sure you are not dissatisfied with this, and the previous 5 posts all drooling over your ride.

 

[Acadian]

Nice ride. What size is it?

I didn't know the M3 came in Orange??

 

[-BB-]

Almost as hot as "Monster Green"

 

[Supa8]

M3 colors. I have spent way too much time mulling this over... only two options left on my frames list for 05. The M3 and the short TT Sunday SkaT says is coming out mid year..

[konastab01]

its is very unusaual in orange as i have never seen one of them or a m1 in that color before but i guess you want to be noticed

 

[Lumpy_Gravy]

Everyone with an M3 wants to be noticed, Everyone with an M3 is noticed

I don't know the answer to that but I think you should list if you are running the 135mm or 150mm rear wheel.

and the short TT Sunday SkaT says is coming out mid year..

what is this?

i haven't heard anything about a shorter TT Sunday...

¿informacion, por favor?


OH YEA. NICE BIKE. seems like i've seen one of those somewhere before...

 

[Supa8]

Pretty sure the shorter TT Sunday was mentioned a while back. I PM'd for info for my height 5'6" on a Sunday and SkaT said to wait for the shorter TT version coming mid season for a better fit.

Most of our DH team sprung for M3's this year. All in Navigator White.

 

[Kntr]

The yellow would look sweet.

 

[Curb Hucker]

Nice bike man. The MRP rollers match your frame, looks cool

 

[dhtahoe]

I don't know the answer to that but I think you should list if you are running the 135mm or 150mm rear wheel.

As far as I know you can only run the 150.

 

[seismic]

The M3 is for sure one of the really nice DH race bikes....looking forward to see it in real...

 

[Curb Hucker]

As far as I know you can only run the 150.

im pretty sure you can run either a 135 or 150-Thru by switching out the replacable dropouts

 

[The Kadvang]

yeah thats correct. I dunno why you would want to run the 135 tho.

 

[DHS]

lighter?
less material....
i'd rather have 150mm

 

[Paris]

You can run either, I'm running 135 bolt on cause that's what i have.

 

[AlberTop]

You are using Saint cranks?

I use Saint and MRP System 3. No problens.

I had a friend using Saint and E-13 and it was hard to setup. But now it's working fine.

 

[bigbirdie]

I ordered mine with both sets of drop outs. but I will run 150mm, for a stiffer rear wheel. I got the 135mm's just in case I need a rear wheel and I know that 150's are tougher to find in a pinch.

 

[COmtbiker12]

Man that bike is sweeeeeet!!!! The orange is probably my favorite color for M3s now.

I don't think it looks THAT bad...sitting there. Hell, I'd ride it if it was given to me.

 

[sod8]

Hell, I'd ride it if it was pink and purple with little faries all over it, but compared to that orange one it looks awful, way over done.
