Yeah and? I don't think you should leave these rim's only for that. I heard great review's from Mtbr and some Transition bike's ryder's. Plus they have an excellent customer service if you have some problem's. S-Typ's are pinned! They are great tho!

MTX are welded.
MTX S-Type's are sleeved!

But when I think about it. My 4BY had Alex Supra N rims, which were pinned, and I could not kill them. Two years of running 20psi and when I finally did get a flat tire, I kept riding for the rest of the day to try to kill them on purpose. Every time I'd get to the chairlift, people were telling me "Hey, you have a flat" and I'd tell them I was trying to kill my rim. They looked at me funny after that. hehehe

I'd like to get a Hopey steering damper for my bike. I'll see how much it'll cost before I make the decision.

slam · 2007-12-09 08:08:55

Great, will I be able to fo a test ride on it?

E^vol · 2007-12-09 08:26:23

I'll make you a deal....If I do get a Hopey....YOU will be the first to try it (after me that is).

BrokenSpoke · 2007-12-09 08:41:57

wanna a cheap ghetto hopey? get a worn out ball bearing headset and over tight it! same feeling! i can say i was expecting something else. spend that money on a gym you wont need the hopey anymore :p

E^vol · 2007-12-09 09:04:29

Well, I know I don't need a steering damper as I didn't really have any arm pump last summer.

As most of you already know, I'm planning to get a Chris King NoThreadSet for my new frame.
That leads me to an aesthetic question for you guys.
My new frame will be the blue color, with a DHX5.0 shock. My fork, handlebar, grips, and stem are black, and the new Code's are white-ish with black levers and red adjusters. I'm also planning to install red Transition wheels.
Which color headset should I get? If I'm going to spend this much money on a headset, I want to "see" it.... (I know...)

Here are some of the colors which are available.

Here's an image of the frame.

This is what happens when you spend less than 30seconds in Photoshop....LMAO!!!

Le Guigui Coquin · 2008-01-05 11:17:56

A red Roco too?!

Really nice blue and red! For the C-K, look at the Hope headset. They do it in a lot of colors like C-K.

BrokenSpoke · 2008-01-05 11:22:07

wow tony you fail at photoshop haha.

id go with black but thats just me.

E^vol · 2008-01-05 12:38:45

All I did was change the wheels in Photoshop, and yes I suck, but to my defense, I did it in about 25 seconds or so...

E^vol · 2008-01-06 08:22:17

I found a new picture of the frame online..I am really liking the color !!!
Remember, it's only the frame that I'm getting, the rest of the parts will be a mix of new parts that I will order, and the current parts I have.

Rigaud · 2008-01-06 08:26:26

And maybe a white fork??????

I have the same cassette except I took the orange spacers. I think it should be fine if they are the same wide.
Orange spacers? I thought it was only available in red. It only says red on the Sram website.
P.S. How much does the PG-970 DH cassette cost ?

Le Guigui Coquin a écrit:
Je crois que j'ai le modele juste inférieur d'abord! Les spacers sont orange mais je pouvais les avoir en rouge aussi. La mienne étais 79 ou 89 je crois.

Well, I have figured it out...Finally!
The cassette you have is the PG970 road cassette !!!
It is available in 5 gear ratios. Which ratio do you have ?

P.S. If anyone else is interested, here are the exploded ratios and weights.

11-21 (11-12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21) 200g
11-23 (11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23) 210g
12-23 (12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21-23) 210g
12-26 (12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23-26) 230g
