Mark W Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 So yeah, stock didn't work out, but mod most definitely does. I can't really describe how nice this bike is to ride. Super stiff and responsive, nice front end set-up, it's somehow 9.12kg with no real mods or anything done to it - pure win. Massive, massive thanks to Dave over at Trialtech for making excellent products, and the same goes for Ads and everyone at Tarty for helping me out with the other bits 'n' pieces I needed, and for the 4-man bike assembly team that built this beast up so we could go for a ride. Colour scheme's fairly random 'cos it's a mix of stuff we had lying around, bits from my Atomz, and some stuff I bought for it. Frame: Zoo Lynx longForks: TrialtechStem: TrialtechBars: TrialtechHeadset: RandomGrips: FailWheels: Viz disc hub/Dob mag rim up front, some hub I can't remember the name of/Trialtech singlewall proto rim on the rearSnail cams: TrialtechCranks: AtomzFreewheel: Tensile 96Sprocket: TrialtechPedals: FlyTyres: Maxxis (Soon to be an Eagle Claw on the rear courtesy of Ali C, haha)Tubes: Grey?Front brake: Magura LouiseRear brake: Maguras HS33 with TNN LGM pads (which win) and a Trialtech Sport boosterEDIT: Updated the beast. Accidentally did the photos with the black and white setting on, colour fail. Admittedly it's all black, silver or white so you don't miss much...

Muel Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 9.12? Pfffffft, Adam's not been treating you right Mark! Eagle claw rear and front Try-All tyres will get that well under 9kg though.

Mark W Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 De-stickered then alternately re-stickered, bash mounts cut off, non-f**ked-freewheel-threaded cranks on, clear rim-tape on the back, new tyres on - now just over 9kg, haha.

Mat Smith!! Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Here's a slightly over bar sidehop...tis like 35 inch pusssssssy, bikes nicer without stickers, how flexy is it without a booster, if you know?

Ali C Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 tis like 35 inch pusssssssy, bikes nicer without stickers, how flexy is it without a booster, if you know?My bars are 38" so it's at least that No idea how flexy it is without the booster, sorry. I just banged the booster straight on and my brake dominates, which is pretty handy. Should be reasonably stiff though, 'cos those built-in booster/plates should work pretty well. I'd still recommend a booster with it though, just to try and make sure it lasts a bit longer and doesn't crack round the 4-bolt mounts.Wheel base with trialtech forks?1025-ish, I think? I'll double check later on for you.OBM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Down to 8.84kg after a minor bit of tinkering (and grinding...).Wheelbase with Trialtech forks: 1025mmCS: 362mmReach: 620mmRelatively steep head angle means that the front end feels a bit longer than other mods in that kinda WB range.
