Interest in 456 Summer Seasons?

i dont think you can take up the 22 tooth difference with a ss short my SS rear derailers barely worked with a 34 cassette

 

that's interesting...

from the looks of things, the shadow rear mechs seem to need a longer cage to maintain a given tooth capacity. from those specs that mfoga posted, the tooth capacity on a shadow saint mech is only 23 teeth. that's only going to cover a single ring.

on the other hand, sram shorties have a 30t capacity, which will just about cover a 22-33 front ring combo. you'd need to do some playing to see if it actually would work though...

so SRAM might work for a 22-32 front with an 11-32 cassette. there may be some unusable gear ratios there though too in either gear. shimano wont work at all...

 

does anyone know a good clear coat to put over the summer season to keeo it from rusting? Just thought about it my trail bikes sit on my car and get wet often

 

powdercoat clear.....

 

thats bucks, and if i got it coated it would be fluro green

 

Rattlecan rustoleum clear.....

 

they come clearcoated, not raw. it's just that the clearcoat is permeable, and you'll notice a bit of rusting after awhile. My friend had a gimp (mentioned by on-one on the site), and it didn't seem like the rust was doing anything to the bike. just little veins here and there, which actually gave the bike some character.

I suppose it would be fine for awhile, and you could get it prepped/powdered later if it's becoming a problem. You can see any surface rust right through the clearcoat, so You'll know where there's a problem. spray the inside of the bike with frame-saver too if you're really paranoid.

 

sorry...probably not any better than any other resourceful chap on that particular combo

 

Not to mention I have a feeling that the weather is quite a bit wetter in the UK then here.

 

yeah pretty much. if they can get away with a steel frame there, I'm sure it wont melt in the socal sun.

 

understatement of the year

 

my frames never last much over a year at my house anyways, i sell them or break them in half

 

dude, these frames are going like hotcakes...just ordered another one tonight. i am probably gonna buy one and store in my office at work before they run out!

 

Rabi at The Path asked me to let you know he'd like a 16" if still available. If not, he'd like to order one.
I sent him your e-mail addy.

 

How much for the Ti version of the 456? Just wondering.......

That's not bad for a re-labeled Linskey. hhhmmmm.....:-k
