That'll buff right out!
Have you got it? What did you end up paying?Looks like il be getting my 2012 Anthem X0 this week
that's probably the best place to have a dent, inspect welds and alignment around BB - I would also pull off shock and make sure rear triangle moves smoothly.I noticed a dent on the downtube today.
Should this be a concern or it's just cosmetic?
Mark, you are the man, thank you. Why is it so hard to find out that on the SRAM website? Other than trial and error what sort of pressure to weight should I be running in the Monarch?Hi,
They are very simular to the fox gear. On the Monarch the blue lever to the left is open; straight down is half open (like the number 2 on the RP23) and to the right is closed. The red dial is your dampening.
The Sid fork, the left leg has positive and negative air (put air in the top and bottom). On the right, bottom you have a dampening screw with a rabbit and tortoise (fast and slow); on the top the big outer dial opens and closes the fork. The smaller dial allows you to adjust the amount the fork is locked out before it gives way. Dial it to the right and when locked out it is like a solid fork, to the left and when locked out it is solid until you hit a bump and then it will open to give you suspension (a bit like the brain on the specialized bikes).
Mark.
Thats not a bad price. CAn he go much lighter with them on Stans rims?Slightly off-topic, but I've just pulled the trigger on a set of TWE wheels.
I've opted for the Arch rims, TWE hubs, DT Comp spokes on drive side, and DT Revo spokes everywhere else. Built weight (taped and valved, no rotor or cassette) was 809 front and 977 rear = 1786 total.
Not a great improvement over the 1929gms of stock wheel weight, however...
I've fitted these up with Ikon 29 x 2.2 EXO EXC tyres (595 and 598gms) and Jet Black rotors (185 and 160mm - unweighed). Total weight ready to ride (tyres, rotors, No Tubes goop and cassette) is 1660 front plus 2080 back = 3740gm.
Stock wheels ready to ride (rotors, cassette, Stans strip, goop and Ardent 29x2.2 tyres) was 1952 + 2370 = 4322gm.
So total weight difference = 582gm.
Yes - granted, I was using a heavy Ardent on the stock wheels (quoted 765), but to pick up nearly 600 grams, I'm pretty stoked. As yet undecided whether this will be a special occasion only wheelset, or for everyday use - the original plan was special occasion only, but I think the wheels will certainly be suitable for every day if I choose to go that way.
And the final word - $720 for handbuilt wheels from Greg on Stans Arch vs RRP of $799 for the pre-built Stans wheels sold locally - no brainer for me!
I would imagine so - the Crests are lighter than the Arch, I reckon you could get 200 grams out it fairly easily.Thats not a bad price. CAn he go much lighter with them on Stans rims?
I, and Mrs, both have a set of Crests built by Greg. Both sets of wheels are 1460grm (ish). DT Revo's throughout.Thats not a bad price. Can he go much lighter with them on Stans rims?
