Hutch Trickstar brake issues

<< < (3/4) > >>

rodriguez:
OG DC MX1000 will give you approx 12mm more reach than an 880 so the wheel should sit further back in the drops.

AFAIK the repop MX1000s are similar in reach to an OG MX900.

Still reckon you should look at the crank spacing first, just a matter of removing the crank putting an extra washer on and making sure it's the same on both sides.

poorboyee:
one of the two things original trickstars were famous for is cracking and snapping, the other is there lovely responsive angles and light weight feel >:D the same tubing was used as with the race frames which flexed to much for freestyle, this in turn put stress on the headtube/b-bracket and rear stays :( the brake bridge may well of cracked off at some point and been re-welded, very few survived the late 80s as they were still being ridden into the mid 90s 8) 8) 8) 8)

Quadog:
Still not got round to fixing this problem but it's great to see so many people are willing to share there help keep it coming it's well appreciated

If you need more room what about a Dia Compe 1020 or 1080  :-\

A 1080 size clipper is unusual and generally found on PK Rippers but there's a cheap untouched one for sale in my thread if you need one. Would polish up really nice  :angel: :coolsmiley:
