Guesty Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) hello Guy's and Gal's!!!Just thought I would share some pictures of my new bike. It has just been fully built at Aire valley cycles and after 2 long weeks of waiting (which i thought was really good) I collected it today. Specs Frame; koxx (can anybody tell me what year this is??)Forks; V!z lightHubs; Hope pro 2 Front Brake; Hope Mono Trial Rear Brake; Magura HS33 with two bolt Echo SL break booster Wheels; Echo SL Front and Rear 26'' Handle Bars; Trialtech Sport Riser BarStem; Tri-All Bottom Bracket; Try-All ISIS Crank arms; Trialtech Sport Forged Pedals; DMR v12 I got the bike home and went out for a play, i was out for 10 mins before my pedal decided to shear the thread off the end!!! ( My luck) it has all been sorted now and is ready to get back out there. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4554...mp;id=596490408Please comment and tell me what you think! Thanks a lot Guesty Edited November 29, 2009 by Guesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Lower those bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Everything apart from the front and rear wheel is disgusting. Im afraid it doesn't tick any boxes with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I fairly like those. I think the geo might be quite nice, but predictably I'd want to have a go before committing to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) I am new to the whole trials thing! But when i ride the bike the bars feel at a comfortable level for me as i am about 6ft 4. Edited November 29, 2009 by Guesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale-Hill Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Oh my! The fooks going on with that bar + stem combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) could you be more specific with what you mean when you say whats going on?? and what is wrong with it? Edited November 29, 2009 by Guesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 He means like I meant, the rise on the stem is massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 ok it feels nice to ride what will the difference in rise do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 If you lower the rise it will make the bike feel like it has a higher BB, and make it harder to bunnyhop but easier to do sidehops and similar things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 so its all down to personal preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 so its all down to personal preference?As with everything else, yep.A low rise stem and no stackers will see that bike ride completely differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I think it's an 05 because I think that I have a 06 which doesn't have the pointy seat tube and the gussett at the headtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
