Muel Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 No-one has owned one yet, and the WB is very, very small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrAsHeR Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 From what I heard I would say that if your a lightweight rider then should be good.Give me a review of it if you do buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H! Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) i like bikes with small wb's and no mate i am not mad of pure money it will be a on-going thing if i do decide to build it, it should be finished by december i am planning on the orange dual disc with white rims but the frame will be very much protected can't wait to see what it will looks like Edited February 8, 2008 by Czartrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben H! Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) no its not hydroxx is 990 didn't realise that the thing is i want a really short bike and something that is shorter than my 221 ti i heard the shorter the wheelbase the easier it is to get up on the back tyre but i am only 5ft2 i thought i shorter bike would help me learn more Edited February 9, 2008 by Czartrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 No-one has owned one yet, and the WB is very, very small short.I believe someone in Jersey owns the older model.They look pretty damn sweet, if I knew of anybody who had tested it fully I would have gone for one.But the maker has done a Deng, the old version had both mounts, not two frame options.

Muel Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 didn't realise that the thing is i want a really short bike and something that is shorter than my 221 ti i heard the shorter the wheelbase the easier it is to get up on the back tyre but i am only 5ft2 i thought i shorter bike would help me learn moreSince I went back to a long frame, taps and ups have been much, much easier and I am now able to really push the height I can do.If you struggling to hop up to the back wheel, you can do two things:1. Practice more, I know this has been said all the time, but I never used to be able to do it on slanted things, now I'm starting to get strong enough to do it.2. Lower the gear ratio, I'd put a 13t sprocket on the rear if I were you to make it easier.If you really are only 5ft tall, then you would benefit from a really short frame, my brother is 5'4" and he rides a T-Lite (985mm), which suits him right down to the ground.I did have a short Echo, but I'm 5'10" so it's a bit restrictive, the 08 Echo Lite is 1020 so it feels like a short bike should to me.

I think any coloured hub other than black or white look pants.If you getting the Dob, get the orange one with white wheels, or the white frame with white/black hubs and some nice fluro Try-All rims.

Muel Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Get the viz hub, I have the 221TI, and although it is a very good, light, strong hub, it's a b*****d to set up because it's designed for the snail cams to go on the outside of the frame, so the disc rotor ends up to far away, so I have got about 4/5mm of spacers between the caliper and the frame.And me MSN if you want dude, I'm off now but I'll be on later.el_muelio@hotmail.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 are deng hubs any goodYes they are, strong but quite hefty.Whats your height and weight anyway? Just because one viz hub has gone doesn't mean yours will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
