Thanks Mothertrucker

the 27mm MCS i bought is super tight, bit worried about forcing it in. The 26.8 does seems perfect. You think I should stick with the MCS and maybe a little grease on it first time?
It has a matte finish so maybe that's not helping.

I got the O.D diameter wrong.. oops

many thanks

OK, i tried the 27mm again, measured with two different micrometers and ruined the new post as it got jammed in there! Ain't no way on earth my particular seat tube is 27mm. Both mic's show between 26 and 27mm. I also tried greasing the post, it won't go down any further than about 2". There is some weld on the inside of the tube, but that is not stopping the 26.8mm going down. I even sanded the post down to take the coating off, as the scratch meant I couldn't return it, but that didn't make any difference. Post is def 27mm and it's not going in.

I guess I need another 26.8mm. I assume it's not going to cause any problems. Anybody got any advice? Been after this frame for a long long time, don't want to ruin it now i've finally got one.

Cheers, Hoppy

weird. I'll take that MCS off your hands, if you'd like

it seems a lot of people ru the 26.8 w/o problems. I'd think that be fine in your case.

Yours if you want it, $20?. First couple of inches have been sanded, but that will be in side the seat tube. Are you going to Morristown or any of your riding buddies going and I can give it to them.

Cheers, Hoppy

Im sitting here sliding my 27.0 into my 09 SBC crusier just fine as i type this, Just put a 27.0 in a older 125R 20'' last night. It goes in out and great! but its carbon fiber!! I have a 27.0 KALIN alum thats a lil tighter, but it seems not as smooth, the alum has some fine ridges made into the post. But both fit perfect and not super tight.

Check down the hole to make sure no powder or any weld splatter got in there by accident. It could have happened? My 27.0 post still have a tad bit of play in them. PLUS.

Every brand is going to be different. Post that are powdered will be tight because of thicker coating, some post come painted, some are bare. some are smooth, and i have 2 rougher posts here in 27.0 the KALIN and a DK. None are the same. WEIRD. Dont forget to push it in and pull it out at a medium pace, and talk dirty to it!!!!

Nick, Mr. Berg let me keep the cut template for the Uni Seats after I made him all the Side Tags for the riders to use in the 2008 Olympic Games...

Here what I got for that ride....

now those are sweet, but i think the seats are different, unless you really have to wrap that decal. the seat shown is a yr old seat and the post i guess is not even in production yet

They would go on like this set did....

Have you guys ever made cranks?

Very Nice!!!

EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING

FROM THE CREW AT SBC.....

Just realized that the link in my last post didn't work so i'm trying it again.

Here is my advice my friend...
Please return it ( if you are willing) and I'll have a look at it immediately. It may need to be re reamed or something. Too hard to tell by e-mail. We want your frame to be dialed. No other way. PLease include any post(s) you have tried if you can.

Once again it is up in talk to have a big BMX weekend up here in the Quadcities (STANDARD BYKE CO) OPEN HOUSE. 10 Min from Standard is the East Moline BMX speedway that will be holding a big race around July 17th. Id like to team up with Rick from SBC & Paul from the BMX racing zone and also the same gent who runs the speedway and have a big blowout bmx bash.

Big race up at the speedway.
Huge concrete Skatepark 5 min from SBC
Tours through SBC

Maybe some bands, giveaways, Just a big weekend of FUN!!

This is just talk, but who is up for some traveling?

Hotels and everything cheap up in this area!

quit talking LOL, you know I'm down with this. Maybe in the springtown or during the Regional (07/17-07/18) East Moline BMX, IL

Id like it to be durning the Regional, then after is skate park riding all night, tours at SBC, more street riding. Just a big fun weekend of pure BMX crazyness!!!

The Regional makes the most since.

pure BMX crazyness!!! SBC style

My new Johnson plate order will be going in this week, so I have something to hang on my new bars.

Pure BMX crazyness FOR SURE. id like to try to get a few pro's down this way, to show kids on what to learn and how to ride. That would be cool and fun.... if I start this now, I can make it happen, I hope!!!

Plus on top of this we have 2 kick ass bike shops in town. Maybe I can get them to run weekend specials?

something that would be cool - have the team trailer and team members available to show off the race rides, answer questions, and sign autographs.

If you have the all Standard bike show in the factory parking lot, I would suggest having it in the evening hours so the racers can display their rides also.

We will have a most triumphant time!"

party on dudes IT WILL BE A MOST EXCELLENT ADVENTURE

Hi Rick

Thanks for the reply. I got a 26.8 which fits fine once dropped in several inches but does have a little play at the top, and the crupi 26.8 is a perfect fit all round. Still can't get a 27mm in though. It appears that weld has built up inside the seat tube from the top tube join, not splatter, but a faint ridge and I think this is maybe whats stopping the 27mm drop down as it seems to get to about the top tube mark and then stops. There is a little play on the 26.8, but I guess when it's dropped when riding it will make no difference, but I dont want to flare the seat tube when I have the post up high.

Do you think it's worth returning or safe to ride?

I guess part of me wants to build it as I am so excited, but I don't want to ruin the frame either.

Either way, thanks for all the input and advice on here from your guys and the Standard Army, nice to know customer service is not a dieing art..

Cheers, Hoppy

I advise you to send it back. It is a five minute fix and we can ship it back out the same day we get it. I know you are excited but we want you to stay that way the whole time you have this frame.
Rick

Will do..

Many thanks

Cheers Hoppy

Don't sell that seat post!

I'll send it back with frame so Rick can check it out too, if it's no good I'll ask Father Christmas to drop it in your stocking..

Completely dope. I loved the opening "kill the camera" bit!

I have to show off my son's new 250L if you can't tell he likes green. Starting to think it is time for a new build for me

I just rescued a custom 125R from a sure death...fortunately for me it was the exact size I needed... Will be sending back to SBC for refurb...

Cruisin I would have to agree with it being grn!!

JBRP nice save pics will be in order when its finished

Cruisin - My kid went nuts - absolutely loves green.....

It is going to be pretty sick... Once Rick and crew get it and get it checked out and refinished... i will already have had a chance to finish the part collection.... trading a bunch of parts out...getting new ones.. of course a few will stay... New ones will include custom tagged Black (Gold Lettering) Alienation Runaway Rims with Profile hubs..black spokes, gold nips... Once I get the frame back from SBC newly coated shinny white, I will custom tag the frame with a special Gold Vinyl that I have been saving for just an occasion this stuff was $45 for 3 feet...that'll show you just how sick it is... I will treat with a special coating before application to keep it from getting nicked.. As much as I want to go back to chromo forks...I gotta keep the Answers forks... May have to put on a new stem though....Profile front load would be a good choice...

Right now the frame is an ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS gray color...with nick all over the place... but I don't see any other defects.....

I am excited about getting it done.....

ROB,


Send it to us, and lets get rocking on it!!!!


Nick

I qotta few questions into Rick...one of which is about have the bars done in the same color as the frame... I can't ditch the Bradford bars...the first set I found in a while that fit my likin' The frame will be boxed back up this evening...

Hey Nick, in that pic you posted of the box of old Standard stickers, would you guys be willing to sell any of them?? Let me know, I would gladly buy a TON of SBC stickers. Hell, i would buy the whole box if you guys are will to sell them. Please let me know. CASH IN HAND WAITING.............

email me or send me a PM.

Thanks!!!!

Rick, Frame and bars are boxed up..and tappin' to come home....will be on the way back to the SBC Army Depot for refurb and coating...today...!! Thanks,

Wait till you all see my SBC plate...... It will be a very sought after hybrid....and definitely a one of a kind....

Welp, here is the proof....the white under the numbers won't be there...that will be clear...but on the left side of the plate I will custom cut background vinyl so that it will have the white behind the graphics on the left... a first of a kind for my customs....

Rick

Frame on it's way today or tomorrow, been a busy week and not had a chance to get to post office. Included seat post too. You can see ridge inside tube when you get, it's just enough to take a mm or two off diameter stoping the post going down.

Again, many thanks for the offer to check it out, much appreciated.

Cheers, Hoppy
