J Trials 31 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Looks good! I hope to build up one of those one day, but I don't have anything to ride right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobRook Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) wow your cool youve got 2 bikes (20" and a 26") that look identical looks good thoughYep But I much prefer the Python over the Pitbull.. On the Pitbull I tire too quick, it feels too big, I'm less precise, My Pitbull is 11.1Kg where this Python is 9.730Kg...Mods are sooooo much more fun to do technical stuff too And also thanks to everyone else who's commented..

that NBR dude Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Looks really nice, but can I just ask...You have specced it out with Echo "Super Light" components, and then run a sump guard and a bashring?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 thats the first Zoo i have liked in a long time. as for the stem KEEP IT! far comfier than the lower rise ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try it with no ring at all or get the Echo SL quarter ring, thats only 19g.. It's just for when I go up at an angle onto something to keep the chain and FFW from contacting things.. The drive is the bit I like to protect first and foremost. I dont fancy breaking both wrists like whats-his-name did The bash plate weighs about the same as the ring, but landing on the plate is more balanced for obvious reasons.. But I barely use it anyway, it's just there as a precautionary measure incase I need to use it..thats the first Zoo i have liked in a long time. as for the stem KEEP IT! far comfier than the lower rise onesAh cheers mate, that's cool .. And yes, higher rise is a lot kinder to the back. More natural riding pose, easier to pull up & more balanced on the rear..

weirdoku Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I have nothing but jealousy for you.How's the gusset rotor? I was gonna get one but got a mono trial instead, should have got the gusset...Bike is ridiculously nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna get one but got a mono trial instead, should have got the gusset...Bike is ridiculously nice. Cheers buddy, glad you like it.. I still cant believe it's mine to be honest Yea, the gusset 180mm rotor is amazing! I have the same one on my Pitbull that works nice, but the same sized Gusset rotor on a mod is stunning.. Instant lock when you need it without effort (My proof is no more blisters on my right index finger) and perfect modulation too.. Might not all be down to the rotor, but I can say that it gives better braking than normal rotors that have more surface area.. Plus the saw effect of the Gusset is quite pleasing on the eye too..

Rusevelt Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Would look better with a slightly lower stem rise but other than that, it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I really think I should have got the gusset isntead, I have a mono mini you see and the pads doesn't quite cover all the holes the hope trial rotor but I think the gusset is just perfect for my mini mono. Bah...only if tarty takes back used (6 hours of use) things...Best looking mod ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
