SQuiT-man Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 The one thing id like to see back is the Orange Zeros, i love the frame design and i think if they were to tweek it so it had new and old in it, i think it would be awesome!!!, mmm long and low orange zero!!I think thats an awesome idea, id love a slightly more newskool orange zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_gap girl Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) I think thats an awesome idea, id love a slightly more newskool orange zeroThey were known to crack, don't know if they tried to fix that but who wants to try and photoshop one and make it look long and low? Zero's ***!!!EDIT: Yes i got bored and did one my self!. all i missed was the maggie cable on the rear. I'd ride one anyway!

Tomm Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 EDIT: Yes i got bored and did one my self!. all i missed was the maggie cable on the rear. I'd ride one anyway!Pretty good job actually! Although it's low and silver but it needs to be longer. Orange Zeros were ace. They all broke where the chainstays met the BB shell - because they used kinked box section alu. Nowadays nearly all frames have a CNC yoke there. A Zero with a yoke would probably be pretty good, but it certainly wouldn't be cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Cristoff Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 more variations of size apposed to just 20", 24" and 26" maybe try some different size such as 22" and 28" , it probably wont work but the fact that people are trying to develop new ways to improve the sport makes me happy LMAoAdami would actually pay someone to watch them try to tap a 28" bike, sounds like a right laugh i would like to see the '06 GU typhoon with a inbuilt booster, I'm fed up with using a crappy Deng one.a ENO with 108 engagement, available at tarty to buy.and bring back the megamo expert, its the sex of all mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceman Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) adjustable wheel base? I know the whole 360 dropout does that to some extent but it would be quite cool to dramatically change your wheel base. Probably pointless but it would be cool(ish).Eccentric bottom brackets. No need for a tensioner and can still use vertical dropouts.360 eccentric dropouts then In this way, you not only can adjust the wheelbase, you could even adjust the bb rise! LOL and no tensioner.Tandem trials.I'm sure looking forward for that, teehee. I can imagine how funny it would be (I was doing a search and I came across this) Edited October 6, 2008 by spaceman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Decent chain tensioning systems.Frames that have a bit of a larger rear triangle (I swear its impossible for the chain not to hit the frame in someway whatever the tension, with low frames such as Neon, Echo Lite etc).4-bolt and Disc mounts on all frames (£250 Diamondback hardtail and trials bikes come like this as standard, so why not top spec trials bikes?)More Hydroformed tubing (again, £300 Diamondback bikes include features such as Hydroformed downtube, so why can we only replicate this on a £400 frame?)Splined freewheel/cranks, silly idea to have a high torque part such as a freewheel, threaded onto a crank (which over time is getting tighter, and without good instalation can soon get stuck).

blaze_ Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 A Wi-Fi brake that doesn't need cables and stuff (you should watch how the battery of it goes though) ....and maybe a Cokeholder, you know for your 0.5l Coca Cola. Oh and a built-in GPS system so that you wouldn't worry where you leave your bike.I liked the iPod holder idea by the way it would be useful, although you'd need wireless headphones then so you don't mess up the cables of the wired ones. Yeah I am a wireless fan.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am a wireless fan....there are acctually electronic brakes and gearsets out, but they cost i think its somewhere near £1800 mark for the lot, not wireless cos it would add weight.they are designed for like top of the rangeroad/race bikes, saves you havingto ever adjust your mechs and brakesafter you have set them up how you want. very smart bitsof kit.
