Especially when you find out they still don't reach.

This brake is on the way
and should be in about 40 days from now
As rear only
or as sets

We will be selling these calipers {Tektro} at a very low cost

bikesdirect_com

We are thinking about $20 extra for a pair with the frame

What if you've already bought the frame? Can I still get a set for $20?

Did your gys try the R556 in the back too? It looks like, for the front at least, it has a lot of wiggle room. I'm sure the measurements indicate otherwise but I was still curious after you tried the front with success..

No info on barspinability? Oh well, I'm still buying it.

killsurfcity

any info on standover heights? i'm in between the two largest sizes. trying to figure out which to go for. size of tires doesn't matter. i can do the math. and i'll probably run fatties anyhow.

daybreak

since the Jury's geo will be mostly identical to the surly steamroller, you can look up the stand over heights here:

EDIT: as far as bar-spin-ability, I've read that size 53cm steamrollers do have toe overlap, even with small clips and 165 cranks. The Jury's fork is a smidgen longer I believe, so who knows. I'll be that it still has toe overlap at 53cm, can't speculate about anything bigger than 53cm because I haven't done any research.

thanks db!

Buckatron

whats the difference between the Jury frame and the Kilo...which should I go for?

TDHK

bump, anybody have any experience with the clearance. Real curious about the bar spinning *flame at will * on this frame. I plan on running 23s up front. If it can spin it, it would save me the $ from buying a gangsta fork.


thanks,
TDHK

tons. the tire clearance and frame angles are the big differences. kilos can only fit skinny tires.

c0rpse

Save cash by buying a mtb fork instead the gangsta fork.

TDHK

I'm assuming you are talking about a 29er fork right?

c0rpse

No, a suspension corrected 26" fork, like the SE landing gear or DMR trailblade.

theconquerorwor

did the bikeisland KILO frames sell out pretty quickly? i'm wondering how quickly these will go. i'd like to pick one up within the month...

do you have plenty in stock?

If you want to make sure no canadians will buy this bike, make sure it ships by UPS.

Rodeo

Just got an e-mail saying my Jury has shipped (black 53cm). Also ordered the long reach Tektros. Delivery on Thursday. Yayyyy!! I'm swapping out all the parts from my Fisher Triton. Hopefully i'll have some pics this weekend.

baxtefer

If your concern is the ass-pounding you'll take from UPS's brokerage fees, then your concerns are valid.
But look at it from BD's perspective: The only shipping method that won't gouge you for brokerage fees (USPS) doesn't offer tracking for cross-border shipments.
Now can you fault them for wanting to know if their packages actually arrive?

stussy2k

dear god i want one so bad. but damn this canada business.

Skooongie

Looks damn sweet.

Thinking about a build now rather than buying a Kilo TT.

EEK!

Rodeo

Just got my frame from the brown truck. The headset was not installed; I was a little annoyed at that. Headset installation is the only thing I don't have the tools for. I've had bad luck with the few LBS's around me. Hopefully they don't screw this one up.

dmckean44

I've installed headsets in the past with a 5" bolt and nut and a few washers. Just go slow and be careful.

peabodypride

I've done that too. It works, use lots of grease and be careful to make sure the cups are going in straight.

c0rpse

Just got my frame today. There is a little chip on the left chainstay, but im so happy I don't care.
