any idea on the weight of a pantera v2?

Trail-Boss · « **Reply #106 on:** February 09, 2012, 12:51:53 PM »

5.5lbs.

It looks like it was cut and paste from the fly website in 2008.

Are there any sweet chrome frames out there? (recent)

I only know of the Fit Wifi and a Cult frame.

Are there any advantages/differences riding a 74.5 degree head tube vs a 75.5?

Does anybody remember those custom bars that somebody posted that had gussets on the crossbar? I can't seem to find a picture of them.

what is this called? unvert??

Meursault · « **Reply #114 on:** February 14, 2012, 11:37:50 AM »

unvert, or downside invert. If the legs were straight it would be an unlookback, so you're reasoning is correct.

weedbix · « **Reply #115 on:** February 14, 2012, 05:54:33 PM »

I wouldn't worry about it too much, Joe Rich has done a lot of unlookbacks with his front leg bent at the knee, and he's The Ultimate Male

What whipperman chains will work with a 9t ratchet?

GUMP_ · « **Reply #117 on:** February 15, 2012, 05:21:13 AM »

the basic model does but its rubbish, (Wippermann Whitestar 108 chain)

not sure about the Wippermann Connex 1R8 chain

the large motorbike chain version does not work with a 10 tooth ratchet not enough clearance (Wipperman IG8)

Do profile axles use helicoils? i have owned 2 sets of mini's and it did not look like they did.A kid on another forum is saying that they do which makes me confused. So do they?

seijos · « **Reply #119 on:** March 02, 2012, 02:56:55 AM »

Well, I don't think so. The axle must be threaded.
