Canti frames, so whats out there

[Cryo-Cube]

Yo
what vbrake dedicated frames are available right now or in the near futur?
The only frame i know of with a geomety i would like is the 2006 echo pure

WB should be around 1075-1090 and no uber high BB

pm'd you

i think they might make the 06 pures with vee mounts. hbtrials had one in stock.

[Cryo-Cube]

thats what i said. only frame i know of with decent geo and vees mounts is the 06 pure

[Juhan]

bt5.0 ?

[zealot_53]

oic. I thought you meant that you only liked the geo of the pure.

Maybe BT. If that's too high, look at the Simtras 20BB, 1080WB.

The ST-1 doesn't have vee mounts...

EDIT: This is pre-production. I guess they don't make maguras on the production ones then? I only pay attention to cheap Deng frames haha. Anyways, if you can get your hands on the preproduction ST-1s then you have yourself a good frame with canti mounts.

The pre-production frame isn't as stiff/strong as the production one. Just get a frame you want, then get Heatsink adapters. Problem solved.

[stocktrials]

yeah it seems people are getting v-brake adapters and putting them on frames they like. cheap way to go

[Cryo-Cube]

i had bad luck with adapters on my current frame.
The maggie mounts are so low that even in the highest vbrake pad position they dont hit the rim surface 100%.
It works, but not as good and powerfull as it could work

[PXride]

Alibongo? wheelbase is a little shorter than you want tho, i think its 1060ish

[carnagr]

Well that means that the maggie mounts were welded in the wrong spot, and you had a shitty frame. If the brake works with maggies, the adapters for vees should work too.

[Chris]

I guess cryo wasn't able to mount them properly :momaru:

[TTownJon]

what adaptors are you running? The new heatsink adaptors have the brake mount fairly high up (just barely below the lower brake boss)...

[Giant1118]

and u could always pop a spacer or booster between the adaptors and the 4 bolt mounts.

[Cryo-Cube]

i have the old heatsink adapters. I already took a look at the new ones. You cant mount them much higher compared to the old ones.

@carnagr
yeah i have no idea why, i can mount the maggies without a problem but when i put the vee adaters on i have to put the pads on the highest position which. The vees lose quite some power because of this high position.
I think im going to go mielec custom style.

anyone know how long they take to build and ship a frame?

Dude the mounts are waaay to low. I pulled the the calipers up so that they almost pop out of the canti mounts just to see how much lower i could position the pads...
Even when pulling the caliper almost completely out of the mount the pad position only changed like 3-4mm.

I want the pads to be on this position (like in the pic) to get the maximum power out of the vees. Right now they are on the highest position

Like I've already told you! 2-3 weeks depending on which frame design you want.

[Cryo-Cube]
