my parts came in from empire, profile mini on a ribcage, fit faf-k, hub guard and the first issue off the albanion that I've read and I was impressed!

also grinded a rail and wrecked some spokes on my brand-new wheel....

Yes it will feel different.


Will you care, probably not. You're probably going to like the frame you wanted more than a frame you didn't want as much.

good point, longer cs felt a lot better for airs so I guess you're right
thanks

will going to back to a 20.75 with a longer backend, about 13.65 feel very different?
now on a 21 with 13.2/3 backend, yess I've asked this before but I'm not so familiar with chain stay lengths and how they respond

found a new fit eddie v3 for less then what I can sell my current frame for and I've always wanted one!

Pretty much. If you have big bars expect it to loop out quicker too.

ahhh can't wait! I have fit sky highs at the moment cut down to 28 so it should work out fine, thanks

yet another quick question, about to order a fit wifi in 21 inch, just curious since I've never had a frame with super short chain stays so will it spin super fast and loop out on fast stuff?

haven't heard anything about it and sorry for bitching but a mix/profile/rachet would suit anyone way better and are my forks going to fail and break into pieces?

Does anybody actually send in that card? My frame said I had to send the card within 30 days to get a years warranty. Didn't see the point.

I always figured it was really important..then I usually forget to send them in, must have at least 10 of those cards somewhere around here, think they would warrant it? and is it really fucked?

dumb question but if my fork dropouts are bent inwards about halfway and then outwards are they properly fucked?

they are s&m pitchforks xlt-l, first gen of the tapered ones one of the first ones to leave the factory so about 2.5 years old

My friend lent me his bars until Wednesday, they're my old Lagos. Feels so good to ride. Went on a solo ride at the local schools and stabbed myself in the stomach with my bars trying to crooked a rail that is right next to a planter and got stuck.

watch out with those bars, they flex a lot!
