Toras seem to be wnning the vote so far. I would consider a used set of 'better forks' but the toras are available for £120 at the mo and that seemed like a pretty good deal.

Hi guys, Just ordered myself an On One Inbred frame :D Was after a bit of help/advice as to what forks to go for out of the following selection: Rock Shox Tora SL Coil Forks - Turnkey 2010 Rock Shox Dart 3 Forks - Poploc 2010 Rock Shox Dart 3 Forks - Turnkey & Poploc 2010 Cheers

To right Ferrit!!!! Really gets up my nose!!!!!!!! :evil: Apologies to any Yanks in advance but it was hardly a flash of genius when you stole the name, put American in front of it and hey presto 'American Football' To top it all off your sport is a bastardised version of another English...

Nice Motor 8)

Good point!!!! Now I need to decide whether to go for white or black :?

Thats the frame I was thinking of getting, what concerns me is that I dont know why it failed the test and am concerned about its safety

The mighty hammers for me :D Just want to point out that we the English invented the sport and called it football long before American football was born. STOP calling it SOCCER :evil: Rant over :D

Hi Guys, Im thinking of building myself a new xc bike an apologies everyone but im going to go with a modern frame. The frame im quite interested in and is still available to buy has apparently failed the CEN test. What does this mean in laymens terms? Is the frame unsafe and should I avoid...

No UK shipping :(

My frame has a stop so I cant lower the post past the bottom of the seat stay. There isnt enough movement to have the best of both worlds with a standard post

Ive been thinking a bit more about this issue. Would it be possible to make up a telescopic seatpost myself :?: Im not sure about the internal post diameters so after a bit of help with this one. Could I start with a standard 30.9 post that will fit my frame and cut the top off, then slide a...

The seatpost dia is 30.9 but I could run a spacer shim if needed?? Unfortunately I dont have much steerer tube left to play with, i was thinking of running an Azonic Revenge stem with 45 deg rise but I need to sort out the seatpost issue first so I can measure up and see what will be the best...

Thanks for the responses guys, ive been looking on ebay but no joy so far and as im a tight b**stard I really dont fancy paying more for a new post than I did for the brakes of ebay. Ive heard mixed reviews about the titec seatpost, anybody here got good/bad things to say???

Got a bit of a dilemma with what seatpost to go for on the "ebay special" The build is coming along well but i need to get the seatpost next so I can measure up for my stem and bars. I need to fit a seatpost that I can raise high enough for comfortable riding but that I can also drop low...

No joy with that option Mike, I have been told that it would be very risky to drill the frame as the hole size required would weaken the structual rigidity of the frame :cry:

Typical!!!! Just spoken to BETD and they sold out of the bespoke rear ends about 2 months ago and there is not enough demand for them to do another batch :cry: When you say bolt on do you mean drilling the frame and bolting the bracket to it?

Hmmmm hadnt really thought about the welding option, not sure where to get something like that done and wouldnt it be quite expensive???? I couldnt say about the later seatstay compatibility, bit of a newbie to all of this. That looks painful Steve, did it result in you eating dirt????

Hi Mike, Thanks for the info. I have done a search on tinternet and can only find forum posts about the specialized bracket. looks like it would be a good way to go but probably not possible as i cant seem to find one for sale anywhere. I am half tempted to buy the DDG one and give it a go...

Thanks for your response, i have tried the A2Z adaptor on my frame and it really does not look right. the angle it sits at is very diferent to the pictures on the instructions and the part that sits against the frame lines up with a weld. I was hoping that this one would be a better fit and...
