What are you doing?

Yo, havn't heard  you for a while!!  You got a bird??? 

That looks absolutely stunning Richard, my favourite build of yours so far and possibly one of my favourites ever on here , survivor look at it's absolute best imo

maybe try and find a survivor pair of 880's to see if that will alleviate the cable problem? just a suggestion......shame you can't run potts on this either...I am sure the gen 1 was conceived before potts became popular, forks must be same or similar on the gen2...

Thanks Damo glad you approve mate 😮😮
Managed to route the cables ok so gonna stick with the 1000's, i've changed more than I'd planned to on it but only to make it more user friendly & I've kept all the old bits for whatever happens to it in the future. ..

Cheers Ian, those mushies I had off you didn't look right 
it's got a potts bolt but like the gen 1 there is not enough clearance between the bottom of the steerer tube & the tyre to run the cable

[chubby]

That's what it would have been like originally Terry, would be nice to find that one wouldn't it 

[deeman]

^^^^^ He is running potts!!

Well fook me he is 
fookin eagle eye Damo 
Perhaps these repop tyres are a bit bigger than they used to be Deffo no room for the cable on either bike it's catching on the tyre as it rotates

[chubby]

Well it looks like eat my words time 😞😞
Inspired by Terry & Damo's posts I removed the wheel again for a fiddle about. The end of the steerer tube is shorter than the gen1 so I had a root round in the spares box & found another old cable, it's a little bit thinner & seems more flexible so gave it a try.


It's very close & the angle is a bit sharp but it works !!!!

I got similar with my landing gear. Not proper sorted it yet, just lookin at it n wondering how to get shot of the tyre rub without kinking the cable....sigh.

That was my problem buddy
I thought it'd never work with a tight kink in the cable but it seems ok

[chubby]

Thanks for the nice comments fellas,  it's all finished now & just need to get some decent pics done when the sun comes out

DC Cable guides would look nicer on them forks instead of the Zip ties?
