09 Neon Bow Frames

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about getting a 09 neon bow but haven't heard much about them. I know chai has one and that's about it. Are they strong? Stronger than the 08s? And any idea if they are nice to ride? What are they good for, sidehops, gaps, taps, hooks?

i am actually loving mine at the moment, however for some odd reason there is no one in the uk stocking them (bar trials-uk) I believed tarty were supposed to but have not got any on their site yet, I can try and speak to neon and see what is happening.

I recently emailed tartybikes as i wanted one they can order them in for you at a price of £292.64

Anyways here is the email ,

Hi Jack, We don't have them in stock but may get some. There seems to be a lotof interest but we weren't happy with the feedback on the previous frame, where they was a pretty serious issue with the chain cuttingthrough the seat stay. If you do want to special order one please phone up and we can take a 10% non refundable deposit. The price will be £292.64 so a deposit of £30 would be suggested. ThanksAdam

Does yours (09) have the chain problem?? Are they strong? Flexy?

Yeah, but most stuff from biketrialseller comes all scratched up and dented. Their shipping process is horrible and it comes direct from China. I wouldn't risk it.

What?! As in the frame will get dented?? Nothing wrong with things coming from china, maybe just their shipping process?

Using a kmc z610 and there is no frame rub, there was a lot of rubbing with the kmc cool, same problem on the old conquers, but if you use a thinner chain, which i believe is what most people use in china, (i.e. 9 speed chains for light weight) there would be no problems, i am running dual disk at the moment, the new bow has an extra gusset just behind the seat, which should make it stiffer though i would still recommend using a booster.

I use a khe collapse, so that's pretty much garanteed to rub??

Yeah, get on OTN there is a thread on it. Maybe I'll put a link.

I think you got the shop biketrialstation and biketrialseller mixed up. Biketrialstation is a shop based in hong kong!
