trialprod.com. Worth it is all I'll say! Don't want to spark off another debate

127 x27* rockman/ zhi / try-all What I use on the Z3R

That was ace! hah really enjoyed that, the style was cool and pretty original I thought.

Looks like the concept art for it? Computer modelled I reckon.

Squabbling aside.... sweet video, really liked it. Good to see someone else on a Z3R

yup thats exactly it....seen so many go there so I'd really advise it!

Stiff links look scary...nice bike apart from that

Loads of us... if youre about this weekend ill ride if you fancy it

Looks sweet, glad you FINALLY got it

Shimano saint are supposed to be pretty badass Other things to consider are the BB7, magura louise.

If youre going to spend money on that.... it would be cheaper buying brand new stainless bolts off ebay. Would cost you around £1 posted! Enough to have 4 spare, roughly the right length, click

Sounds pretty interesting... but you will have a torrent of people applying! Hope something comes of it, does sound promising.

Either a well tensioned chain or a decent chainstay protector would sort that

Sorry should have put roughly the same geo.... 383, 1083, +57.

Lovely video, natural looks great to ride there

Graphics look shite, but the design looks promising! Go Monty for actually designing something that in concept at least doesn't look ridiculously old fashioned, unlike their current frames!

half link...stays are 383 now, and the reach is the same I *think*

Looks really sick, video soon? Liking the review as well, good plan. Got my Z3r to the same geo as the echo now and i reckon its a bit better.

Yeh i meant for it to come across as get some longer bars if you can...but if you dont have access to trials or DH bars, he could always chuck a skinnier xc bar or whatever he had kicking round Moving the grips in is a sound idea though.

Awesome! Think im going to back to mod for a bit after seeing that

On my Zenith I ran old zoo bars ( 29" ) and always thought they were a bit wide to be honest. my 720mm Viz bars seem perfect for me, its really personal preference though mate... try some other bars if you can? or maybe go to smaller bars to see if the problem is exacerbated.

I'd say nearer £40-70.

Thanks to everyone that commented! I really appreciate the feedback. Really looking forward to getting the next one done now... Cheers, Alex
