Will a 2009 Hamilton frame fit a 33T sprocket?

I'd imagine so. Mine is 08/09 (I think, something like that) and I fit a 36t on there with no issues.

I taught a FGFS a handful of new tricks, one of which I like to claim purveyorship over (as I feel I invented it). I call it the donkey kong. Its quite possibly the laziest fucking thing you could do down a ledge.

sharing is caring etc

they fit on canti/v brake mounts.

I've seen one ran on a bmx before, so I'm guessing there's some kind of adaptor that goes from 990 > canti mounts

edit: had a quick google and can't seem to find any adaptors. even if you got one made it'd probably flex a fair bit. why do you want to run a hs33 anyway?

what hubguard is this? it's on a 26" though.

google reverse image search says
http://bpfbg.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/fbm-hub-guard.html
and google translate says
"The following are the amps custom hub file corresponds to the profile, racing FIXED / FIXED the REAR HUB
Hub file are you doing? Simple hub wire is the card dry protection
Another effect is the card thing, whether it is dry sub-or cement wood down
Both the intersection rocket launcher slide the hub file instantly have a rallying point for a more stable glide support force,
General hub file both a lock rotation of the frame level of dropouts and the hub the center of the wheel hub file does not move,
Another class Gsport hub hub file file with plastic band the bundled wire, followed by the Wheels Turn. Good or bad a matter of opinion!
Reference to the friends love the card dry!"

no idea what guard it is, but i want to do a rocket launcher slide now.

i ran one of the primo metal guards over my 9t coaster, but even then had to put an extra spacer under the guard so it would clear my collapse chain. i think youd be very lucky if it would clear a 10 ratchet.
as for the quality of the guard, theyre ok. not great but should be good enough on opposites. my mate had a rhd wheel for a bit and ran the guard on that, his regular grind side, and its now a bit bent and distorted after like 3-4 months.
it was great when i ran it on my coaster, opposite feebles never felt so smooth

think i'll give it a miss then. should probably just learn to grind without hitting my chain instead

^would have thought some of those super thin dh ones (various brands seem to do them, not that I can name a single one) would be amongst the lightest.

those primo (or other) drive side guards. they any use or do they just bend in? snapped my chain on a feebs today for the first time in what seems like forever, but might get a guard just to be extra safe in the future.
also ive got a 10t ratchet, will it fit? dans says it fits 9t or less, empire says 10t. im inclined to trust empire more than dans but still want to check.
