Matthew_Gibson Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I don't think Echo Control fans will be to happy to know that the bb has increased in height by 15mm , unless it only applies to the SL version and not the TR, or urban range. ill be interested to know what deng has done with 09 Adamant, and Zoo bikes . can't imagine deng doing anything more to the 09 GU's or CZAR's .I heard hes only changing the Echo and Zoo range, all the other remain the same. And as for the BB height, stems easy enough to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Glad he's moving trials forwards I just hope someone can make a decent, strong light fork that doesn't crack at the disk mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I don't think Echo Control fans will be to happy to know that the bb has increased in height by 15mm , unless it only applies to the SL version and not the TR, or urban range. ill be interested to know what deng has done with 09 Adamant, and Zoo bikes . can't imagine deng doing anything more to the 09 GU's or CZAR's .The TR/SL/Urban groups are for parts and forks only. I doubt there'll be anything like a Control TR since there's no such thing as a Control SL. The frame that's been discussed is the replacement for the 2007 model.

Mark W Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Glad he's moving trials forwards I just hope someone can make a decent, strong light fork that doesn't crack at the disk mount.Unlikely, in that if he did it'd probably end up being pretty expensive if the whole "Strong/Light/Cheap: Choose two" thing lives up to the hype But yeah, people are creaming over lightweight stuff, so if he released a pair of forks that were heavier than the competition but actually strong, I really doubt they'd sell apart from to a minority. I guess it's going to be a cyclical thing - aaaaaages ago when stuff started getting relatively light but weaker, and then people started complaining and it sorta leveled out again.

Mark W Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yep, massively, but it's weird that a lot of people don't seem to that if in one thread they're demanding lighter products and in another they're demanding stronger products, they're working at cross purposes.

N.Wood Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Well for example Mark, my KOT forks... Cost £60 2 years ago. They weighed about 900g, lasted me 2 years of learning to hook and went through 3 frames before finally cracking on the disk mount.My Echo Controls retail at like £75, and lasted 4 months, saving me less than 200g in the process.Both were comepletely acceptable weight wise, and yet the cheaper ones lasted 6 times longer.

Mark W Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yeah, but there's "Acceptable weight" for normal people, then there's "Acceptable weight" for other people, and it's the "other people" who most parts are seemingly geared towards, these days.
