Didn't get that far tbh. I canned it coz it looked like it wasn't gonna work. I obviously need to go a bit further and persevere until I can connect the cables to see if I still have a problem. Not had anything like this before so it's all new....  :-[ :-\

Not sure if the mobeus will fit. It's designed for 1 1/8 headset's so tabs might not line up.

Still can't fit this flippin' Gyro thingy.....  :tickedoff:

Looks like me forks are too short. Either that or I'm being a complete donut!

Any in MK have experience of these so that I can maybe pop 'round soem time for some pointers?  :-\

Also struggling with a freewheel sprocket. Bought a Dicta to go onto a Tuff II but when I was fitting it it seemed as though it would undo when p[edalling - are there LH and RH threads with freewheel sprockets?  :-\

Any answers/help would be great

Thx

It should look something like this once built up:



If you don't have tabs on your frame then the lower cable anchor fits under the top headset cup...

Dicta freewheels should have the 4 cut outs (for the removal tool) facing outwards, I don't know that they do a LH version?

Post up some pics & maybe we can help you further.... :daumenhoch:

Cheers m8

Now that i know which way 'round the sprocket goes it's now fitted  :D

I have also come to the conclusion that this flippin' Gryo just ain't gonna fit but heres a couple of pics of all the bits I've got...



I believe the order i need to fit things is:- 8, 5, 4, 3, 2, 7, 6, 1

When i fit them in this order (which seems to be the best fit) there is no thread available at the top of the forks to fit item 1. I have had comments before that the Torker Freestylist has a 5" headset tube but I've never really understood what this means   ???

I'm guessing it means that this is longer than ur average headset tube therefore "spare" fork thread is not avaiable at the top to incorporate a Gyro  :'(

I am though, as always, open to suggestion (not rude ones......  :knuppel2:) and will bow to superior knowledge

p.s. I've worked out how to fit items 9, 10 & 11  ::)

Thanks as always

Lamby
