post your NEW sickchild metros and instrumentals!

[Peter Hollinger]

 

Only got them today. So havnt rode them too much. But so far im impressed. Better quality finish than i expected if im honest.

I have to say i am a bit scared of the whole alloy thing though. When i rode Primo's at least they had steel hardware.

A bit of flex, but so far so good. Im considering switching to a regular BB in the future. Plastic works 100%, i just prefer the the precision of a regular one. Im lazy though, so chances are i wont bother changing. . . . haha.

I was looking at that but i kind of prefer the Tree one.

Stop trying to get me to spend money. . . im poor . . .

  Na, no way! Im so stoked on this frame, ive wanted an 18.25 Sickchild for a long time! The riding ive done on it so far is much better than anything ive been doing since i fractured my foot. I can see much progression this winter .  . .

Ed is the man, so while im on the subject i want to thank him once again for everything he does for me.
Also thanks to Scott for holding onto a set of cranks for me until i had some money.



Tree. . .

Yeah the splined sprocket was amazing. Really good idea. Rode mine for over a year, no problems.

Hope to MAYBE get some filming done on the new frame this weekend. Quick combo or something.

Q for all the people with the newest gen sickchilds: were you able to run both tensioners on the inside of the frame? I have a nankai technolite, and I was only able to run 1 tensioner, and only on the drive side, if I put the tensioner on the other side, the wheel was off center. How is everybody else setting theirs up? I only ask this because both my gen 1 badda bling and aqueduct were wide enough to run both tensioners.

[Peter Hollinger]

Yeah man, all my Sickchilds (sickchildren?  ) are perfect with chain tensioners on the inside. No issues.

So you have a new Metro and only one chain tensioner fits in?

Nice video Pete

I have an instrumental, thought the back ends should be identical. The wheel barely fit with just 1 tensioner, 2 was out of the question. I'm not sure if its because I'm using the old nankai with no decoration cap or what, I can take a pic if that helps
