Got pics of what happened to your old tensioner? I made a sick tensioner out of a broken DMR tensioner, works like tits.

Yep, hussefelt 35 mm rise bars. I've also got a Z2 laying around, its about half an inch shorter in reach than the Z1. Definitely a nice frame too. Thanks for the comments

I decided I needed a change from my GU LE. Started to find it too short and flexy. The ZHI feels really stiff compared to the GU. Also like how it's a half inch longer in reach. Geo measures: 1090 wb 383 CS +35 bb 72 HA 26.5" reach Here are some pics I took last night:

I landed terribly and racked my neck. Heard 2 popping noises and it hasn't felt the same since

Testing out the new camera today on SP mode, tomorrow I'll try it on a better setting. Video Here.

I've found they're smoother and much harder to strip/cross thread.

Well...this is how it is... I'm currently riding a GU LE 26" bike. I feel as though the frame is too short, bb a bit too high, and I'm really starting to notice a lot of flex in it. The frame is also starting to get pretty beat up. The Geo of my GU is 1084 wb, +45, Meta fork (410mm x35 rake), 26" reach, 383 CS, 71.75 HA. I have another frame here with me. It's a ZHI Z1 in white/black. This frame looks like it would be a lot less flexy(especially the front end of the frame), and the geo measures 1080 ish, +35 (maybe higher with a META fork), 26.5" reach, 72 HA (maybe sharper with the meta fork), 383 CS. Pics of each: ZHI, GU LE Has anyone tried these two bikes? What are your thoughts?

I think James broke one of those at the headtube after a year of riding.

Well, right now I live in moncton, nb, Canada. My university is offering a Oxford program, where I'd be able to travel to Oxford and study at that university. So, I'm wondering, are there many riders in and around Oxford? I'd love to go there and see what UK riding is all about.

Good vid.

Rides perfect.

Yep! Norco evolve 2005. Very gay geometry, 1047 wb, 71 ha, 395 cs, -10 bb. LOL! Nathan was fine. He jumped off the bike as it snapped.

My buddy Nathan was doing some front wheel hops and BAM!

If you're looking for a louder brake, remove the booster.

The Sky bikes all have different geometries.

Good video, and the song suits the riding, even if you stole it from damon adamant vid 2 lol

I and a few other people thought the geometry was actually PERFECT as far as competition bikes go. Seemed strong as well...such a shame.

I thought ZHI was going to bring out a frame that had horizontal dropouts with 135 spacing? What happened to that?

Very interesting pedal bunnyhop technique! Great vid!

agreed.

Says +55 on the hydroxx 2? The Sky 26" bikes are all +60 too? Looks like koxx is venturing into mega high bb...I thought that fad was killed in 06? EDIT: Only 2 of the sky bikes are +60, the others have varying bb heights.

Where did you find these new numbers?

Same! I wanted to go to one this weekend, but it's a far drive, and university is killing me right now...

Why not? This could be a once in a life time chance! LOL
