I want to build a decent new build using mostly brand new bits on the Giant Talon (3 or 4),
Has anyone had any luck using the giant rear hubs (assumed shimano) and the associated parts to mount a sprocket?
Should i forgo having rear disk, and build a rear hub brake drum wheel?
The gemini hub seems like a nice option, but me it cost $300... so there is that.
I would consider taking a china bottom end, and building a saw cylinder barrel, peewee80 top, with my own adapter.
...oooor, the minarelli and an adapter plate off the shelf.
... ooor an rdm plate w/c barrel. That's a long way off.
But a nice tank would suit this build, along with some pitbike bits and bobs.
Anyway- back to the original queery, has anyone tried a new giant bike as a base?
