Ali C Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nice bike. The way the bash is mounted is a very good idea but I would have it dual disc. I would too, but I would destroy the brake within one ride I have moved from Ozonys just because K-124 offered a sweeter deal plus my team manager is quicker and easier to talk to, so getting spares and new parts is a dam sight easier, the yabbaa frame is the perfect geo for me too! I am riding this bike better than I have any other bikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bash is a Ti one, the alloy one will be too fat to go under the bb.I tried the bike with only two spacers, but it felt too front end heavy when on both wheels, the extra spacers really made it ride much nicer the rear tyre is the best thing on this planet!! itsno lightweight one, its 1200g and has the thickest sidewalls you have ever felt!(makes maxxis dual ply feel like singleply!) I can backhop on slopes like its the flat. The compound is the softest tread I have felt, sooooooo grippy! These a pre productions ones though, the ones for sale will have Kevlar bead to save a few grams but keeping the same sidewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 These a pre productions ones though, the ones for sale will have Kevlar bead to save a few grams but keeping the same sidewall.Interesting, i would of thought they'd rip off the rim at low pressures, hence why no one uses them for trials?

Muel Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Interesting, i would of thought they'd rip off the rim at low pressures, hence why no one uses them for trials?I've never heard of that being a problem? I've got a rubber queen and it's been amazing so far. I run it at like 35psi though so it's hardly soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota200x Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 35psi….um wow! I like when a tire bounces. Ali the bike looks amazing and the bash idea is pretty smart. I wouldn't want to slip at an angle and hit the chain/freewheel. PLEASE make a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 yeah, it means I can try switch foot riding and still have the weight of a half bash I am not on a vee as I ride in all weathers, a vee gets a bit manky after a muddy ride, a magura is much less work, so more time to ride I went on a beastly weekend ride, plenty of filming and pictures to come Am I correct in thinking that the bash guard ( a trialtech ti half ?) replaces the spacer on a bb such as an skf?Is it possible?

grant_hundley Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Interesting, i would of thought they'd rip off the rim at low pressures, hence why no one uses them for trials?The sidewalls affect tire roll much more than kevlar beads..There just isn't any tire with kevlar beads and a decent sidewall.. yet.

Zach Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 That is a really nice bike. I think it is clever how the bash ring is mounted behind the freewheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rear tyre sounds too good to be true, esspecially at that weight with even thicker sidewalls than maxxis dual ply. the grip on natural must be astounding.
