I'd guess if it's down on CRC as 135/142 it's got to be convertible

Cheers buddy, hopefully it is. Do you think adding +20mm to the front suspension - compared to the factory 140mm one - would affect the frame in bad ways?

Voodoo Wanga. I will put a Fox 34 in it but I am not entirely sure which one I should go for. You can get a FLOAT with 150mm of travel but I might want to go for a Talas which is 130/160, we will see.

Id say stay as near to the original as possible or it might mess up the handling, raising the bb too much makes it unstable

Hi, I have a question, my friend has a 10 speed shimano deore rear derailleur and it keeps jumping from the first gear to the space between the cassette and the spokes, any clue please?

turn the low gear limit screw in a bit or check the alignment of the derailleur and hanger.

Hi guys

I ordered a 9sp triple crank set and a single speed chain and rear single speed gear at the end of November last year and i cleaned all the cranks and chain in degreaser and noticed the chain ring is starting to wear quite a bit, is that because of the fact i use the bike a lot ot cause its a 9sp chainring with a single speed chainand rear gear and could that be why i have trouble with it slipping and clunking?

sorry for the bad quality pics

thanksSalute

as far as I know singlespeed would cause less wear than running it geared. A squint chainline could cause it though

What do you mean by squint chain line?

You need to get a machined ss chainring, that is a stamped chainring and the quality is poor
