Would a stock size or +1 frame be best to run with a +2 tbr swing arm and 10" wheels? Currently running stock +1 forks but I'm looking for some speedy's. Want to keep it small ish
Thanks![]()

My daughter has a +1 frame with a +2 TBR swinger and I like it.
Minis are RAD!
i got speedys with the smallest spacers on think they are 2mm? on a stock frame/swinger with 10 wheels and think it would be better with a +2 swinger.
Also wanted to make small , keep the stocker feel to it, im running stock hd 88 kit , and is bit of a wheel machine haha
The +1 frame is kinda for more adult cockpit room right? It really wouldnt matter what swinger your running with a stock or +1 frame. I ran a +1 Factory Metals frame for two years with a stock front end with springs and extended fork legs and a stock swingarm out back - was cool for the tightest of backyard tracks.
thanks for the replies guys, i was thinking more of turning the bike away from being a mini with a +2 arm as well as frame. can't decide on a stock size or +1 to go on my current set up (bone stock 50!)
unless your under 10years old id get the +1 frame its a much set up for us adults
i have a +1 fast50s frame with speedys with the tall spacer (1" i think) with a +2 swingarm
10" wheels front and rear and a fox shock

My vote is stock lenght frame. Float out back on stock swingarm. Stiff springs on stock legs and take some solid round stock to prevent bending.
cheers longmooie she is a beaut! There's actually a new fast50 +1 frame for sale over here at the moment i wouldnt mind but obviously its £££ and i've just bought an elka. will more then likely be the next buy tho as a mate's letting me have the swing arm cheap![]()
still running stock forks with the +1 kit- think i will be for a while yet as the speed forks don't come up used in the UK and had a price of £900 for a new pair![]()
+1 chris i had it on mine with sp-5s and a fast 50s +2 swinger it sat beautiful il put some pics up on fiddy forum later![]()
the stock frame is junk and not made for adult abuse if your jumping a 50 you need an aftermarket frame
even if you weld the stock frame is still not as strong as the chromoly frames and then theres the horrible head tube rake
yes you could cut it and weld it but its really not worth it (im a fabricator welder and know my shit when it comes to metal)
heres a pic of me on my first 50 i had i could not ride it with +1 forks cos im way too tall 6'4" even with the SP5s and BBR bars that are the tallest i had to roll the bars forward so much with the stock frame, once i got the +1 frame i could run my bars straight inline with the forks

in the top pic is that a 70 swindger ? and what size spacers on ya forks bit hard to tell cause of the silver![]()
yup thats a XR70 swingarm in the top two photos so thats a plus 2" over stock
the speedys have a 1" spacer i think
its not the spacer that give it that rake its the stock frame and thats not bent its just how there set up for kids
thanks for the pics again dude. anyway got the elka, +2 tbr swing arms and had a call yesterday from a guy with some as new speed forks- in silveralready getting out of hand
frame next! +1 i reckon by your pics then?
cheers
For adult id go for the bbr super pro frame set up..???
i want to keep it mini plus the bbr's are £££
