Bontrager Ti Lite rebuid
- Thread starter Ian C hill
- Start date
An 80mm fork in itself isn't too bad for the frame, but combine that fork with such a long stem and I imagine it gets round to turning a corner the day after you want it to. I would say that for sharp steering a 10cm stem is the longest you would use in combination with this fork, and for me preferably 9cm.JeRkY":1wvr0yfi said:

Must agree now changed to 100mm stem and low rise bars so much better. Must admit forks have raised the front end but finding 1" forks is so hard and I managed to pick these up new from Pace to good to turn down

I'm a big fan of mixed new and old tech, and I reckon you've pulled this off a treat.
Stunning bike mister.
Well done.
Thanks for the positive comments I have changed the bike again I shall post some more photos. Just wanted to change the bike around a bit hard getting the right balance of old and new

Know what you talking about used to use DX pedals with no problems put the spank pedals on and they felt a little slippery but as time goes on they seem to be fine maybe a coating put on the pedal when new.
