YES - My Ridley Crosswind frame has arraived today!

[Mads Kock]

Starting to look like a complete bike! Unfortunaly I have run into some problems so the brakes will not be froglegs but avid shorties!

[Mads Kock]

Could you do me a favor and measure the crown race width (?)? I wonder whether the diameter of the fork's crown where it meets the frame is too wide to fit a conventional headset

I have the picture for you - send me a pm if you want it in a bigger size!

[XTC-Max]

Thanx for the pic, Mads. Very nice ride indeed, your ridley. I'm sorry to say but there was a misunderstanding regarding the crown width. I'd like to know the width shown in my attached picture. could you measure how many mm wide it is? many thanks!

will you keep the 53T ring?

frgot the pic

I also measured the flat "space" around the steerertube - the diameter is 40mm! No attached pictures in your posting?

The big chainring is 50T but I will change it for a 46T! I just need to find out where to get this chainring - it's not listed on the fsa website and it looks like the super road chainring!

try to find pics of rabobanks colnago bikes(cyclo-cross.info or cyclocrossonline.be), they ride the ridley fork, and colnagos have normal headstes, not integrated ones.

Mads, was it your Supercross which one can see on your homepage? If so, why do you have it not anymore?

[Mads Kock]

Yes - it was my supercross (my first cx-bike) but it was too big (size 50)so I sold it and got this new one (size 48 ). Not even finished but I have tried sitting on it and it feels much better - the lenght and height fits me good on size 48cm!


Sorry for the double post - think I might have pressed "refresh"?!

As long as the little ring that goes on the fork is higher than the extra room in the headset (is this understandable , when you put the headset on a table it should rest on the little ring, not on the cup) you can fit the fork without any problems. When fitted it looks pretty good IMO.

Like Simon said... picture of Colnago with 4za Phyton fork!



anyone knows what chainring Nys has on his bike here?

i know. But it looks horrible if the crown is wider than the aheadset cup... that's why i'm asking

Hello XTC-Max!

Did you see my post about the measurement? 40mm is the part that you posted a picture of!

My bike is almost finished - just needs a front derailleur and some bar tape!

[XTC-Max]

[Boogie]

Mads , you already had a Ridley crossbike??
