Which frames fit a 24x3 Gazzaloddi?

It might be way cheaper just to buy a new KH once you add up the cost of the parts, I mean you're not exactly getting a super duper deal on the tyre, so you won't save masses of money there, and it's always gonna be more expensive to build up a uni from parts. Joe I bought the tire/tube for $10 Brakes I am buying for $40 I can get a DX32 rim for about $30, or a Large Marge for around $70. KH24 is $650 Cranks/hub - $150 Frame - $125 Clamp - $8 Seat $55 Post - $50 for the adjustable 4 Bolt post that I want. Rim (DX32 $30~) (Large Marge $70~) Pedals - $30 Brake - $40 Spokes - $25~ Tire/Tube - $10 Total - $560~ + Shipping with Large Marge That's $90 cheaper... Factor in the KH doesn't come with a brake.. so it's really $130 cheaper with a better rim and a brake. $170 cheaper if I go with a DX32 I don't want a drilled rim on a Muni to be honest, I ride through thick mud on the trails I go to, and that's a lot of crap to clean out of a rim. I would also much rather have a custom ride... maybe Municycle.ca will hook me up and swap out some parts on a complete. Possibly hook me up with removing the wheelset, and shipping it with just the cranks/hub, and no rim/tire. -- Borgschulze 'deviantART' (http://borgschulze.deviantart.com/)'Gravity' (http://videos.observedtrials.net/Gravity.wmv) is -not- the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Borgschulze's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13501 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73818 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

You will need special brake mount extenders to use a brake with the LM. I had a Gazz on a LM last year, and now have it on on a KH rim. I think the pros you get from running a LM for muni are not worth the extra weight, the need for special brake setup, and the fact that the LM is less maneuverable. -- agentQ '*)--SmallSpin-'O,*' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiFMXG116BE) '*)---TreFlip-'O,' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpT0YFDgmz4) '*)--DoubbleFlip-'O,*' (http://www.vimeo.com/683454) --- 'Uneed Films' (http://www.uneedfilms.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agentQ's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13021 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73818 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

haha Agent Q is telling you not to get the large Marge because it is to wide and heavy and I am going to tell you not to get the Alex DX32 because it is too skinny for a 3" tire. Drilled rims are not that hard to clean, just spray them down with a hose. besides as long as the dirt does not get past the rim strip what is it going to hurt in there? As for wider non drilled rims there is always the sun double wide but it does not have a good breaking surface. -- saskatchewanian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saskatchewanian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14180 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73818 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
