Simon Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Would they stop with the crap carbon effect stickers and just go with plain black effect? If they want carbon, put carbon on the b*****d thing, don't sticker it with carbon.Annoyance.Cool bike though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I personally think this defeats the whole object of montys , there supposed to be short flickable bike's and this isnt How do you know it isn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 the geometry on the 2008 231 has the same chainstay length as the ones ive had hudson, the only factor being that the new one allows the use of snial cams with 5mm of wheelbase adjustment, the range is from 385mm to 390mm, at an optimum for chain tension it would ideally be set at around 387mm depending upon size of sprocket and chain wear etcthe old 231 has a chainstay length quoted of 390mm mine measure 386mmso not much difference eh hudson? not so much of a step for chainstay length? i dont know why people have a problem with the length, my bike rides perfectly well with the longish stays, but then again im no where near good enough to be able to tell the difference in 5mm of length on the stays., not much else on the geo has chnaged really either, mainly aestheticslooks great and i hope to get onemy view..........ashWell yeah i didn't take that into consideration the dropouts and i was thinking the chainstays are 385. I think 390 is alittle long and also im sure the bb is bigger this year at around +30? where as last year it was smaller at around 10 i think. Am i also correct in saying it is alittle longer the wheelbase at about 1085 this year. I think the frame will ride a fair bit better than last years but havn't rode one yet so cant comment really.

Davetrials Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 im gonna f**king jizz, that is so nice, i cant wait to see the stock, maybe its actually worth getting, fingers crossed it has 4 bolt mounts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTrialSpaz Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) it still looks like a bent dick and painting it up like a rally car doesn't help.I'm sure it'll ride wonderfullyWorked for me....

oakley Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Looks horrible. it one of those bikes that you look at it and think "that will ride like a raleigh shopper" and i bet its weak as usual.mikeWhy do people still assume monty's are sooo weak. They are as strong as any other frame. the only reason the 2005 model snapped so easily is because it was not made to fit a profile/cassette back hub, but for 2006, this was adjusted.Geo for 20" ishead angle: 71.5chain stay: 364mmbottom bracket 75mmwheelbase: 1012mmweight: 8.700kgdisk only though..26" will have hs33 mounts and disk...Id love the 20" but id kill a disk and dont want to sacrifice my king hub...you havent got to, i ran my double disk monty with a back king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Well yeah i didn't take that into consideration the dropouts and i was thinking the chainstays are 385. I think 390 is alittle long and also im sure the bb is bigger this year at around +30? where as last year it was smaller at around 10 i think. Am i also correct in saying it is alittle longer the wheelbase at about 1085 this year. I think the frame will ride a fair bit better than last years but havn't rode one yet so cant comment really.my wheelbase is around 1080mm and the bb rise is +20mm, not a million miles away from the new geometry..................................the geometry aint that different at all. so how will it ride so much better? in fact i can probably ssay it will almost certainly ride the same, not like it matters much anywayash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 i take what i said in a post above. the bikes RRP was £1800.00 last year. BUT they did alter the RRP in this country, VAT and import duty etc just ruins this country!!! id hope that the pricing would be quite competative against other manufacturers, but they have deffinatly made a strong forward movement with the development of the 2008 bikes.Wouldnt mind owning one of those 26" bikes Wayne.

trialsking 55 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 by the looks of things they can't have a maggy as the crank would hit the caliper? i think it looks as if it would ride really nice, can imagine it being responsive by the sound of the geometry.anyone with rear disc, don't you ever catch it on failed sidehops??

Deonn h Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Someone sent me this in a chain mail thingy and i think it says it all. :thumbsup: .....I think the bike looks pretty good to be honest , but its just the 75mmbb wich is worrying , bit high.Might ride good though..

Captain Scarlet Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I quite like the colour co-ordination of, and starting to get used to the bump now.I guess its a change (hopefully forward) for trials.Looks at the chainstay it goes at an angle?Its different, but if sucessful this is obviously going to be a new generation of trials bikes.

crazy_gap girl Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I really wish they would start making a frame actually with magura mounts!!!!!!! Other than that major disappointment, I like it a lot!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 .....I think the bike looks pretty good to be honest , but its just the 75mmbb wich is worrying , bit high.Might ride good though..it probably cancels out the extra length at the front pretty effectively.
