AdamR28 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yaabaa 1499, completely standard except Trialtech bars, Trialtech pedals and a pair of Try-All brakes. 1080, +30, 380, 10.6kg as shown. Had a quick ride indoor this morning, finding the 18:15 ratio a little strange for taps at the mo but when you get it right it's great. Yes the bars are high but I like it like that because of my short arms The important bit Koxx Mixx built up with my old parts, ProLo 120 fork, King rear hub, Rockman front hub, XM719s, Try-All stem, post and saddle, EA70 bars, Quad brakes, Echo SL headset. Adjustable dropouts, hydroformed top and down tubes, CNC chainstay yoke. Not had a proper ride yet but the angles a bit tighter than my previous frame so it feels a lot more 'nippy'! Again the bars are pretty high but I like it that way Ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 But i feel "holy stem stackers batman" is appropriate Also, whats that rear rim on the Yaabaa, thats not a standard koxx rim....Shut it The rim is the same profile as the 'hOle' rim, but double walled and circular drilled instead. I think one of the walls may need to come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 How did I know you'd go and do that. High bars are the future! I think they might actually be higher than mine.The XC bike is really smart as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Loving the graphite paint finish a bit surprised by how high you've stacked your stem adam, 10mm should be more than sufficant with those bars and stem combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walker Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Nice bikes Adam!Just a few comments, the frame on the XC bike looks a little on the small size, especially witht the seat that high.As for the Yaabaa, apart from the name, nice! But i dont know how you can tap with that front end! got enough stackers? I was unable to do taps at all on my kamel with a mere 10mm extra in spacers! Good for pedal hopping though, ask Jack Meek or Fatmike!Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 The wheels are too big on that first one That would be partially my fault ha ha.Nice bike Mr Tart but my coust is better ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yes the bars are high but I like it like that because of my short arms a bit surprised by how high you've stacked your stem adam, 10mm should be more than sufficant with those bars and stem combo.See above But i dont know how you can tap with that front end! got enough stackers?I actually think more spaces is better for tapping with my technique. If you do a pedal up with a tap then lower bars are generally better, if you do a 'proper' tap (where the front wheel leaves the ground much later, Frenchie style) then higher stems allow you to tap harder.Oh and about the XC frame, yeah it's quite small but I wanted a shorter top tube (short arms) and something I can slam the seat down and play on too.Haha, yeah whatever Anal!
