Rebuilt it to keep me going in the hardtail stakes until the Zaskar gets back.

Is that your preferred brake lever angle?
What's the travel on the forks?
Are those those great vfm merlin wheels?0 -
They are set a touch lower than normal - need to tweak them, as I set without the wheel in lol.
Forks are 80-125mm U turn!
Yep, the super value wheels!

See you got some more wheels from Merlin Supersonic (unless they are off your Rock Lobster
) def excellent for the money (added some £10 rotors from On One onto mine). Nice ride.
Thanks.0 -

Had a ride of a 2002 Psylo last week. Still good even by todays standards!0

Nifty!
Dumb query - no chain guide on the front? Have just built a similar thing (1*9) and it was suggested I *should* use one, or expect to drop the chain off the front frequently. My expectation was that the rear derailleur would do enough to keep it in place, but...?
Haven't tried it without the guide, but already I hate the damned thing. Noisy and fiddly to set up properly. Looks pants too.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -
Seems to be staying on fine at the minute, but haven't tested it on really rough stuff.0
