frames too square for my liking to be honest, saving up for a new one now tho, cromo

its z1 sl lowered to 100mm aparently but put it next to my dj3 100mm and it sitsd at about 70 - 80mm, but has no air in it atm needs setting up again

note, mine snaped in half:P but do a little frame mod and cut the seat tube at the top about 30mm off

then buy a pivitol seat with a shim:P

i have been debating on whether to cut some off my seattube as its soooo long lol, but i just no i wont do it square, tips?

i thought about cuttig it all and getting a wedge mod but that would be too far i think

tac1593 (May 18, 2009 at 13:57)

i took a peice of seatpost stuck it in there and used a pipe cutter it came out pretty sqaur but i had to file a little bit off acsess aluminum of, it worked good tho

tac1593 (May 18, 2009 at 13:58)

r u using a wedge mod right now??

MongooseJage (May 19, 2009 at 9:20)

pipe cutter sounds a good idea

cheers mate

not at the moment, bike will be off the road for about a week now anyway as forks are shagged :@ so got time to do some mods

cut seat post

and deeper dropouts i think

little bit long for my personal preference.

MongooseJage (Jun 10, 2009 at 12:23)

yeh i did.
you basically file the dropouts deeper, you don't need to worry about them being even like depth if your running tensioners as they eevn it out for you.

thats why i was going to do it in the first place, i did it a bit as it allowed me to pretty much slam 26's in there

richardcore (Jun 10, 2009 at 10:19)

i just read somewhere above that you wanna make the dropouts deeper? how would you do it? cuz i wouldnt mind doing mine cuz ive got 24" wheels

MongooseJage (May 17, 2009 at 12:17)
