my name is kyle Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I've been riding my Zhi for a bout a month now so I thought I would write a review about it. This bike isn’t very common as it’s by Zhi (Ive only seen two on here) correct me if I am wrong. I like the design of the frame and think that it is a quality build, the welding looks neat and tidy and the paint finish used on the frame looks really nice and stands out from other silver/black frames on the market.So far I have used this bike for a mixture of street and natural and it seems capable of handling both. The geometry is something around 1080 wheelbase 385mm chianstays 72 head angle and 35bbThis is my first trials bike and it feels really good but it has quite a heavy rear end I have progressed quite well im getting used to all the basics . The bike feels much more controllable, it feels nice and stable on the back wheel which makes my gapping more controlled and accurate. I feel that with this frame the increased control has enabled me to concentrate on my technique much more, which means I have improved all roundSPEC-- duel magura with black pads and tar really powerful good bite- Zhi Z1 frame- rear wheel of a phase 1.2 shimano hub on dx32 rim- front wheel alex rim on shimano hub- isis cranks of phase 1.2- cage pedals - zoo bars and zoo stem- cane creek headsetI brought this bike off nick manning (thanks a lot mate) it was a really good buy for 210 pounds I hope to be progressing a lot more in the future.The only thing I would change on my bike is to put some new hub on it as on the rear id have more ep’s and a new front wheel as its quite thin and would like my rims to be drilledHope I’ve answered any questions, if any body does have any don’t hesitate to ask Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
