    The GT STS Thread Members Bikes and Tech Info

    i lose respect for anyone that has a go at people with riser and bar ends. it is like some kinda of sheep mentality, that only the people in the know, know not to mix them. So if you do, you are some idiot and should be scoffed at, just because everyone else scoffs at it. Obviously there...

    why is that? I presume all the counter sunk bolts for the linkages, are just standard counter sunk. Anyone know what the bolts and nuts for the rear drop out linkage are specifically called? They seem the same as chain ring bolts.. but obviously have specific dimensions.. are they...

    Nice mod matt.. Looking at mine, it just has some rubber outter, and the angle of the cable to the frame is pretty aggressive.. i am concerned about the cable cutting though. Might look into a similar mod to this. I ordered a new stainless bolt for the bottom of the shock too.. and some...
