Charge Scissor

Fixed is no fun when you are spinning out on all the downhills. I will be freewheel all the way.

your loss :-)

(I use 64GI so don't spinout, but it can be heavy going at slower speeds)

The max tyre size is 50c, is that right?

I think so, check out the thread on trick track I think they talk about tyres which fit and those which don't.

Just got an email from winstanleys new date for scissor has been moved forward to 03 of Feb

Don't want to be the bearer of bad news but the CSG website still says stock expected 18/02/10.

Dont think so, i was gonna bring my coaster brake bike but i might be enjoying the Scissor too much to leave it at home.

Here's a pic just to piss off all those that are waiting for theirs!

needs some fatter tyres doesn't it, or is that just the perspective of the photo?

that rear wheel looks like it is wasting away.

have you filed the dropouts of those rebate forks to correct the geometry?

Yeah it does, built it with what i had just now.
Wasn't expecting it till end of Feb so woulda bought tyres before it came.

They are Onza trials forks but yeah, i drilled and filed them a bit.
When im getting a bigger tyre for the back il replace the front with a bigger one too and it should fill up the fork a bit better.

Well when i ordered mine about a week ago i was told stock wouldn't be landing on British shores till the 18th yet it arrived at our shop today so i'd keep your fingers crossed for an early delivery.

could you give us a quick run-down of the parts on it?
is that one of those volume krull spiders?

are they onza fall guys? if so you got the brake mounts off very cleanly! any advice on how to get that result?

Thanks, I used a hacksaw to cut through the welds then filed and sanded it smooth, i was at work so had no power tools and it was quiet so i just took my time.
The mount is quite flimsy anyway so there's not too much to cut.
You maybe can't see in the pic but there is a polished looking patch on the legs where the mounts were. I cut strips of wet n dry and kind of wrapped them around the legs to sand out the filing marks.
I'v not cut the disc mount off so closely because a) it's underneath/behind so not seen so much and b)its really close to another weld so dint want to weaken anything.

its very nice :)
well done

Thanks, can't wait to get bigger tyres on it and i'd like to get my hands on some JOL or similar straps but don't fancy his waiting list much.
Also thinking of getting higher rise bars.

i have some of jol's gurney straps
they are awesome :)

are those the fall guy for 26" wheels or 20"?

are those the fall guy for 26" wheels or 20"?

26".
They are a bit long axle2crown though which is why i modded the dropouts.
Not too bad a weight.

yeh ih ave a pair of the tuf guys which are 40cm a-c which i think is good, but you can get the fall guy in 20" which is 38cm a-c, is that too small?

might end up just right, bruisers are 40 though. The onza tuf guy is the exact same geo ass a bruiser fork btw, but for £20.

Cool, does the Tuf guy have rake? it's hard to tell on the ebay ads but i thought the fall guy might be the only one without rake. I guess if 38cm a-c was too small you could probably get away with removing some material from the bottom of the steerer tube.
