ahha what a question, of course i like it better than the norco, its a completely different frame and the geo is much nicer, but i have to say the norco was not too bad, this is just no comparison as it is a top of the line frame
yea well if i take another link out of the chain, the wheel rubs agains the frame while rotating, so i will either to get a thinner tire so that the tire doesnt rub against the frame when there is one less link, or i will take out a link and put in a single half link so that i dont have to switch tires to get better tension on the chain
yea, well i may need to get a new tire soon anyways, but i like it 2.1 rear, dont wanna go any skinnier so i will get a half link
Get a new tire and put the small block eight in the front.
Riding a skinny tire in the back isnt as bad as you think.
ps.. Small block eights are acually larger than what it says on the tire.
example 2.1 = 2.35 because of the tread patern. so a 1.85 would be a 2.1.

yes, i knew i was gonna get shit for having some slack on the chain, i will get a half link, but i just wanted to get it rideable today so i did it up and rode around. rides fine but wont be slack for long
you probably need to take out at least two links. Make it as slammed as possible. Thats how I like my dob at least

nahh, if i take out a whole link, the tire rubs against the chainstays with perfect tension, so i will need a half link and i dont mind sacrificing a couple metres of chainstay length
that is a 2.1 SB8 sir, im sure 1.95 would have no problems, but i like the 2.1 rear, it almost works with one link less, but i would rather ride a 2.1 with a minimally longer chainstay. maybe one day when i feel adventureous (sp?) i will try out a 1.95
ok. but ya your local shop will almost definately have a half link lying around they will give you for free or like a dollar.
those cranks are so nice. 500g? thats f*ckin 17.5 ounces. there are no mountain bike cranks that even come close to that
yeaa im not sure what the exact weight is but they are damn light, all of my parts are pretty light, without really sacrificing any strength to save weight, so i am pretty happy with the build
