You can slam the wheel fine with those.

is anybody else waiting for something gunkote? this is the time of year when shops shut down for a week or two to re-tool and clean the shop and apparently thats what the gunkoters are doing.

[Jermie]

thinking of ordering a bruiser frame.
is a small bruiser close in measurements to a volume cutter 53?

and does anybody know where to find out what all the colors look like, I guess ive seen purple and green and a few but im not sure what the colors actually look like?

[baltimore sam]

I'm on my second bruiser and it seems to have different clearance in the back. The same wheel and tire, a chukker and 40c rando, fit with room to spare on my first frame but on my new frame the wheel must be true to not rub on the stays. Both frames are larges only difference one was a pre-order (not a proto) and the latest came from a recent batch. Is this just a result of Taiwanese factory builds or something else...

[Lifetime]

Interesting, I'm on my second bruiser as well, but my clearance is the same... hmm

fair enough. I wasn't trying to start anything I just hadn't heard that anyone had actually broken one yet.

I wouldn't say I actually broke it, nothing failed, you slide on any frame long enough and its going to crack.


But that is my argument for running a peg, I'm not on a company, nor can I afford a new frame every 5 or 6 months, and Im left footed, so unless I run LHD intentionally for chainring slides I'm pegged.

I have a similar situation to lifetime, my frame developed cracks on the bottom of both chainstays and the seat tube at the clamp cut-out. I don't think it was from excessive grinding but regardless, I called ben's and talked to Steve. Without seeing a picture or anything they offered to send ups to pick it up, I was going to be in MKE soon anyways so I just brought it in. They checked it out, took my number, and in a couple of hours they gave me a rang. When I got back to the shop all my components had been swapped to a new frame and they were cleaning my wheels.

I couldn't have asked for anything more from them especially because my original bruiser was a prize from a race. The only real issue I have is with the difference in clearances, but after two free frames...I'll deal.

[Lifetime]

They're more than legit.

how long did it take u guys to get ur bruiser? how long did it take to ship to cali? Its a little over two weeks, I cant wait...

[Lifetime]

Well it's by a first come first serve basis, so once the people before you get theirs, it takes them like a week+ to powder coat it, then a week for shipping. MBC will send you a tracking email when they sent it out.
