I currently own a Haro Mirra Flair but I want to upgrade it now I like my forks and chain and pedals etc but I think my frames a little heavy and so I want to change just the frame is this possible and how would I go about it? Are there any books or sites that can help me to do this and how do I know that the parts I currently have will fit onto my new frame?
here are the major differences between new frames, have you got a pencil next to your viewbox! no, in the left top drawer?
1. your cranks are probably unsealed american bottom bracket! if you get a new frame, look out for a euro BB or a mid-BB
2. the axle size: is it 14mm or 3/8ths? (especially the forks, they have to match your front wheel and the rear triangle, 14?
3. is your pedal a 3/8 inch spindle or a thicker 3-piece crankset that is 1/2 inch pedal spindles?
these are the size specific questions about buying parts for your new frame/kit or parts comp. and is your seatpost oversized?
