I'd say not quite the same stuff, but you can go really big with some of these hardtails. If you can find any info on Russ Morrell, he has been riding a Balfa Hardtail, and didi try to compete in the RedBull Rampage last year. There is some footage of him hitting a huge drop, followed by another on the hardtail. They say it was 30feet or so, and it looks sooo smooth!!!

[BoyBoy]

in the spirit of the above CLifcat, i'll re-post mine.

I ovalized the headtube/cracked the downtube (fualty heat theatment) so i am getting a new one.... the new ones are made from steel, so it'll be a steel TankAss with hor drops

wow, i can't even imagine a 30 foot drop on a hardtail. seems like it would be painful, but i guess if you do it right it might not be. thats some crazy stuff though. the red bull rampage is insain with full suspension bikes-but a hardtail!?

Do you run your seat like that to make Urban tricks like barspinners and Ex-ups easier to acomplish. I do in on my DH bike because I like to use my knees to lean the bike over and I like to press against the larger part of the saddle. People make fun of me though.

Dude, I would like to recomend a Balfa minuteman. It is the ultimate hardtail. I just built one up, and it is sweet dude. But I have a question? What type of riding are you going to be doing? If you want a bike that will do a little, trials, trail, DJ, urban, shore, go with the minuteman. But if all you are doing is ridng urban, dj, street, park kind of stuff, save some money and go with the gimp, I love it.

If you kept your clothes on when you 'pressed against the saddle,' people might not make as much fun of you. I guess running that anatomically-split seat makes the 'pressing' easier, though...

Hey thanks, that's a big complement, :) no i d that on my little room, wich i use for putting old stuff, you don;t use every, and hang up the laundry.
:D Because off the dust who will fly around outside.I first sanded it down, it was bloodred, and i put some primer on it, a few layers, rapped the rest of the fork in tape, special for painting.And then sprayed it several times with gold spray paint.:thumb: I think also it looks very nice.That was the comment also from my friends.

That pic shows my original setup on that frame which was dual 26's. I'm now running a 24/3.0 combo on the rear and like it MUCH better. Here's a pic of the current setup...

[jive turkey]

damn Mr Tiles that looks killer, do you still have full range of horizontal dropout adjustment with a 3" 24 wheel? do you find it too slack or difficult to roll over bumpy terrain?

Yeah, full range of adjustment. I really like this set up. There's not much difference in running a 24x3.0 and 26x2.5 - they are about the same height. Difference is the 3.0 soaks up a lot of hits on the hardtail and getting over stuff is not an issue. I'm running an xt rear hub - so far, so good.

It's a bad thing to do w/ my chainline. The brooklyn has a perfect chainline towards the lower cogs and I wanted to use a larger cog but I didn't have access to a single one to replace the smaller cogs at the bottom with. That's only tentative. I just ordered a 18 t cog w/ a spacer ss conversion kit and should have it friday :D . No more ghost shifting into a higher gear and getting screwed.

It's a 5" Firefly 1.5. Still, my guess is about a 67-68 HA with the fork. It feels really slack, but since I ride mostly DH/FR stuff with it, it worked well for me last time (old frame had a 1 1/8 HT with a Shiver SC and felt similar.)

I have no clue how someone could ride a breakout on this frame... It didn't feel bad on BMXman's 2MXtb, but I think the BMXtb must be based around a shorter fork.

No comments on the long steerer, please, I've been fussing with the stem height :D

Specs are pretty superfluous I guess - you can see most of the components. Weight is just shy of 35 pounds - it will lose a little bit this summer with smaller tires, maybe some lighter hubs & double butted spokes.

That's a pretty sweet setup. The Ringleaders are pretty nice bars for the price - like most Titec stuff, it's neither exotic nor pretty, but it's tough and inexpensive.

The Michi 2.5's have been good tires. They're pretty worn at the moment, and I'll probably be going with a 2.2" Comp24 rear, and a 2.5" Comp16 front. I like the Michelin rubber compound, and they work damn well with my Stan's tubeless setup.

[mosplat]

thanks nicklin for the kind words.

binary visions, tubeless even!
nice.
yeah i may try out a michelin up front.
what's the sizing like?
thanks.

Sizing is pretty accurate in the 2.5, although the 2.2 runs more like a 2.3. The Comp24 appears a little smaller than it is because the knobs don't protrude as far. The Comp16 is a little knobbier.

The Michi's are UST compatible so I can run them on my Stan's setup without worrying about sealant.

To bad.. but i heard it is a important peace of your fork. Because it will make the fork stronger. Next time if you have new ones, put some loctite 242 on your brake bosses.Then they will never come loose again. Unless you want it your self. If you can't find them, X-lite sells them to.

Very sweet! My next purchase for the Imperial are some real hubs & spokes - maybe CK if I'm feeling bling enough.

Yours is the year before mine :D - I love the newest sets of dropouts. CNC work makes me tingle...

What rear derailleur is that? Roadie derailleur of some kind...

[-dustin]

yeah, it's a Sora. got (was given) it for my trials bike, but had to throw it on the Imperial till my stuff gets here. the rear wheel is also from the trials bike, but i'm considering throwing the King onto the 24 Trailpimp. i love that hubub. i also miss the 15.5" stays.

The only difference between the OnePointFive standard and Cannondale's headtubes is the insertion depth of the headsets. So the Lefty fork will work on any 1.5 standard frame.

You'll get slapped pretty quick if you post spam like that around here. Put your URL in your signature so that it'll automatically show up on every post - but you shouldn't advertise your products unless you're paying for ad space.

However, real pictures of burly hardtails are always acceptable, so post away - the Unreal Cycles guy does it all the time. Things like the .243 pics you posted, right off their website, don't belong in this thread, and the "if you like what you see you can buy it here..." type statements will get your post deleted.

Thanks man, those hubs are whatever the stockers from a 2001 RM7 were. The wheels were originally built for use on a RM7 before they became the hoops for the Jack flash. So I dunno if they're rocky hubs or if someone makes those hubs for rocky... And yeah they're burly but I need that much strength on the back of my hardtail for umm...not riding so smooth sometimes ;) I guess I could lighten up the front but whatever it works no sense in spending more than I have to.

[Zaskar Rider]

Well I can't say that I"ve ridden the gimp or even seen it in real life for that matter but I absolutely love my jack flash. It's one of two bikes I've ever had that I wouldn't sell or change a thing about it ever. It came together perfect for what I use it for. So I guess I'd have to say I reccommend the PX but it's a little biased ;)

mine has been changed alot, I have the hayes upgrade aswell I chaged the seat from a Koan DJ to a Kona out of bounds, the grips from cowans to koan glow in the dark and the fork from the Marz drop off comp to a kona dirt jump rigid. also i put Tioga factory DH tires on

I dont know about converting the DT Onyx specifically. The hub I have on in the picture I bought with a 10mm solid axle. However, I did convert the XT hub on my other wheel to a 10mm solid axle. It was pretty easy, I went to a local shop and got a solid 10mm cromo axle (I think it was 178mm long, but I would check that before buying) then got some axle nuts for it. The threads on the axle are 10x1.0 metric threads. I just took the QR axle out and put the solid one in (make sure you keep track of what order the cones, nuts, etc come off in...) Hope this helps out!

if this were going to be a permanent setup i'd swap the reducers/king for the e13 zerostack reducer cup setup (http://www.e13components.com/zerostack_reducer_cups.html) which in turn would allow me to run a flat crown and no spacers.

toshi, how do you like that thing? any idea what it weighs in at? I really like the imperial frames and after racing for the first time this weekend and doing well on a hardtail i think i will build one up. Is that SS by the way?
