Sexy sexy

OH! is it true that the 08 riot can come with vertical drop outs?

[karmapolice]

thanks, and ummm no they didn't why would they

[xtremedoritoes]

so im confused. heres the story. my girlfriend was going to get me an 07 T-O-P for christmas from ride this. they are sold out. guy broke a deal with her for an 08 riot saying it comes with both vertical and horizontal dropouts. I know the Mob has both but the site says the riot doesnt. Is this lack of knowledge by the Ride-This crew? And i made sure she asked if it was the riot not the mob

[xtremedoritoes]

btw i wanted the 07 t-o-p cause it can be both horizontal and q/r

[karmapolice]

q/r has nothing to do with the drop outs, you could probably run q/r with the riot but I wouldn’t recommend it. The 08's do come with a derailleur hanger you can buy for extra if you want to run gears but they only come with horizontal drop outs and the only other thing is they where redesigned for 08. The link for blk mrkt is in my sig you can go there and look at the specs.

[xtremedoritoes]

thats what i told her! we'll see what happens maybe hes gonna send a mob for the price of a riot??? lol wouldnt that be grand.

[Pesling]

Cranks really suck

[karmapolice]

lol thanks,

I think you're pretty confused bro, the way I understand it, neither bike comes with both sets of dropouts. You can pick if you want horizontal or vertical on the MOB, but they're not interchangeable.

The only reason you saw a TOP with horizontal drops and a QR is because of Transition's wheel with a beasty QR design.

Why don't you buy from a bike shop? They could probably get you a TOP.

[DirtBag]

The MOB is available in either Horizontal OR vertical dropouts. You have to pick one or the other. They are welded on at the factory and are not interchangeable.

Ride-This.com does have on the site that the Riot is available in either - but this is incorrect. The Riot is horizintal only.

I highly doubt that any distributor would well a MOB for the price of a Riot and lose $200. But it would be nice...

[yesimaddicted]

dope bike. like it alot

[cjcrashesalot]

don't know how you got that big of a chainring on there, mine was almost rubbing the chainstay with a 34T

Yes i'm aware of this. Sorry i didn't say "OR". The main point of my comment was that the guy said he had a vertical dropout Riot which from the blackmrkt website says isn't true. Whatevs... what ever comes in will be dope and an awesome gift from my girl friend.

[karmapolice]

I didn't think I was going to be able to because with the style cranks you are supposed to run 34 max but what I did was but it on the outside of the arms like bash gaurd and it clears and works fine. Though one I get some christmas cash I am going to get some profile cranks and probably run a 28t up front a 13t in the rear

[xtremedoritoes]

wait a sec... does the frame require an integrated headset? or can a normal one be used. Also, what size is the rear dropouts 10mm? or 12mm? website doesn't say.

I need to know so i can get parts lined up and ready
(i'm new to the hardtail biz)

[DirtBag]

Yes the Riot uses an integrated headset. Make sure you get a Campy style 45/45 headset and not a 36/45 version. The rear drops are 10mm.

[karmapolice]

Yeah its campy style integrated, check out www.danscomp.com they have lots of choices, I went with the colony bmx co one and it has been great.

[Louis297]

sick build lol how do u put the frame round ur picture ?

[karmapolice]

I use photoshop, which I have some background in. I think there are some websites that will add one for you or other programs. If you have photoshop I cna give you a few diff methods just hit me up with a pm.

*update*, Well I got some early Christmas money and finally got to go micro drive, shout out to Lifetime Bikes in Loganville, ga for being awesome guys. I have known the owner for quite sometime and he is a down to earth awesome guy who rides anything and everything with a mainly bmx/mtb background and knows his stuff. I came to my parents for Christmas and go to go to the shop which is close by and picked up some cranks and a few other parts here are some updated pics of the bike and pics of the parts. New gearing is 30t up fornt and 12t in the rear simillar ratio to what I had before.

If you in Georgia and near Gwinnett or Dahlonega go check them out

[Castle]

Dope Bicycle!

That gearing sounds a lil hard, and the sprocket looks super close to the stay........

[karmapolice]

it is but I like it I had 38 16 before. its not really bad to me. the sprocketis close but it clears the 38 was also real close even down to a 34 on a 4bolt crank arm it seems close.

the fork was painted by my lady friend. i reused alot of old parts (bars, fork, front wheel, cranks) but had to buy new rear hub with matching rim, along with the half link chain to keep things tight.

riots are sick, awesome transition from a bmx. it feels just like it cept way more comfortable!

[xtremedoritoes]

i need to cut my seat post a lil just to lower it some more. I like your seat. where did you order it?

[organizedrage]

thats a really nice bike but me being a bike mechanic is making me judgmental towards the sloppy chain. plz tighten it up.

[karmapolice]

lol chained was tightened and considering I built the bike I am even more picky. Issue was the chain tugs would not tension out long enough and I took these pics after just putting the cranks on but then went back took the tugs off and just pulled it back and tightened it with out them.

xtremedoritoes, I saw yours looks really good that’s awesome what your lady friend did to the lowers, I saw the your threads just haven’t posted lately just been having quick glances on the forums between class and being sick.

Here is a more recent crappy pic of the bike, some one local was going to buy this wheel set and I was going to order a custom set from chain reaction with a ss hub in the rear but haven’t hear from him in a while.
