Title: Skyway Spinmaster on a DP Firebird Freestyler
Post by: ED209 on November 28, 2009, 09:15 PM

Anyone ever fitted a Spinmaster to a DTT DP?

The headtube bracket for the spinmaster is designed for a single top top and looks like its gonna need some angle grinder attention to fit..  :buck2:

I was contemplating using a ACS rotor cup - the one thats got the cable guide attached to the cup...

anyone ever tackled this before... I had a 'Leicesters finest' Speedwheels Spinner BITD so never come up against this before.. cheers  :daumenhoch:

the spinmaster sould fit ok mate ,the cable stop should be off to the side ,just under the headset cup, a mate of mine had one fitted to a haro master bitd + that worked ok .good luck with it  :daumenhoch:

no way will this fit - the dp top tubes are a totally different shape to the 'normal' single tube that the spinmaster bracket is made for - gonns have to cut the bracket out  :-[
