Does anybodyyyy knowwww?

I'll just keep that vbraker on there and rock that... Thanks for the input/help stuff _________________ Connecticut Mountain Biking Community ~ www.crankfire.com Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:08 pm Taz Site Admin   Joined: Sep 6, 2002 Posts: 1008176 Location: Door step of insanity The Porter is MTB spacing right? 135mm? _________________ I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it. Re: Porterrrrr question... Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2005 8:27 pm b_rad Tagger   Joined: Jan 24, 2005 Posts: 38 i dunno whether the porter hub is disc compatible, but if it's not, dmr have recently released a 135mm spacing hub w/ 14mm axle -- disc mounts on one side, thread for freewheel on the other. RHD only, i believe. google "dmr 14mm hub". Re: Porterrrrr question... Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2005 10:00 pm G30RG3ryan Muffin   Joined: Sep 9, 2002 Posts: 759 Location: Long Island/Vernon, NJ i'm pretty sure the Porter does not have a 14mm rear axle, at least the frames i've seen it's been a 10mm bolt on axle.

HUB ALLOY, 36H, W/10MM BOLT ON AXLE" and it also says the the "Porter 26"/24"" has a "R. HUB ALLOY, 36H, 14MM" .... THats where i got the 14mm business from... and if it is not disc compatible i will just run a vbrake... no biggy, was just hopin someone already had this ride and could walk in their basement and be like "Yes" or "No" thanks again _________________ Connecticut Mountain Biking Community ~ www.crankfire.com Re: Porterrrrr question...

Also after seein how small the 12" frame with 24" wheels was i am leaning towards a 14" with 26s.... just curious what size frame you are riding george.... _________________ Connecticut Mountain Biking Community ~ www.crankfire.com

I would actually prefer a size right between the 12 and 14, but I went with the 12 cuz I like my bikes on the small side. _________________ DIABLO FREERIDE PARK - ProTec - Vans - Jamis - SRAM - e.13 - Red Bull - S.I.C. - SDG - industryNINE - LD Designs
