monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Ok, so for messing about on I decided to give this 24" thing a go. Bought a Zoot off of Spunky Monkey Boy on here and, well, it was a bit of a heap to be honest so I had to pimp it up a bit. Let me know what you think.From this... To this... Main changes are a new paint job (not 100% on the colour, expected something a little paler and lighter), Echo 07 rear hub, echo forged cranks, ENO, GU bash, modded threshold booster, Simtra stem and Adamant bars... think that's about it... Anyway, leave some comments please!Big thanks to TartyBikes for sorting me out with all the bits (the stickers will be going on once the paint's dried )DaveEdit: Sorry for the poop pictures, will get some proper one's in daylight when I get the chance.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 well damn you, now i dont want a bmx, i want a zoot lolThat's actually the main reason I'm trying 24". I used to ride BMX but always wanted to be able to do trialsy stuff as well. I reckon with this I can mess around down the skate park and play at more streety stuff with manuals, wall rides etc as well as doing the usual trials stuff. Still got the Monty PR for comps but will probably play on this most of the time between them.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHat are they like with little to no rise? Ride soonSteveSilly boy, you make it sound like I've actually ridden it!! Rear brake's a bit dead so won't really be able to play properly 'til Friday at the earliest. The Adamant bars are seriously low rise which is a bit annoying but hopefully with a few stem spacers it'll even itself out.Your still riding your monty right Dave?Dunno what I'd do if you stopped riding that little love machine.Yeah, still rippin' the Monty, will keep it and ride it on natural and at comps but reckon I'll have more fun on the streets with the Zoot.

Invest in some 2" rise bars and it will make a big difference. 2" rise ea30s are just £17 on CRC too... Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zoot has lower bars than my Monty at the moment... even with about 20mm of stackers! Reckon the Adamant bars may go onto the Monty and I'll get some big rise beasts from CRC...

manuel Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 you need to file your rim back to flat innit ...... nice looking bike dave - as has been said - some large risers are required .... in an ideal world - azonic 2.5 inch single walls ..... ( heavenly until they snap !! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 well thats a tad better riser bars would suit it more though i think.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Cristoff Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) O yeasssss,nicest zoot ive seen.nooooo, that one that was half white half black is muccchhh fitter, sorry minge above beat me to it in an ideal world - azonic 2.5 inch single walls ..... ( heavenly until they snap !! )what about DMR wingbars, there quite nice Edited September 20, 2007 by elcristoff-t-pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) what about DMR wingbars, there quite niceWhat's the concensus on bars? Would need to be 31.8 clamp and preferably have the same sort of sweep and rise as Onza Carbon risers (!). Are Easton EA30/50's strong enough for trials stuff? What about the Wingbars as mentioned above? Other options?Daylight pic:Dave Edited September 20, 2007 by monkeyseemonkeydo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Are Easton EA30/50's strong enough for trials stuff?Yes - I ran mine for years with no problems.also - it looks sexy as fook in the sunlight !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
