J Trials 31 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks to Gary(Tappets) for giving me a steal on this bike a while back. I've changed a few things since then. New vee lever, new rear brake with lever and pads, and new bars. Thanks to Elan for the brake, Gary again for the front pads, and Aki for getting those bars out to me. Only things that maybe changed are wheels and might get some TNN clamps + booster eventually. Spec: Frame: Zhi Zm2 Fork: Zhi vee + disc BB: Meta Cranks: Meta Pedals: Cheap Wellgo FW: Tensile 60 ep Headset: Zhi Stem: Zhi Bars: Trialtech High Rise Wheels: Joytech hubs on Zhi or Echo rims Tires: Creepy Crawlers Front brake: Avid SD5 calipers, Shimano XTR cable, Avid SD TI lever, Caelifera pads in Rockman backings Rear brake: Magura with red Echo clamps, RB carbon lever, and red Tryall Croco pads Seems like pics are too big to upload so here it is on photobucket Pics: http://s791.photobucket.com/albums/yy192/J...ls31/Zhi%20Zm2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sooo wish i could do something similar.... This is a lot shorter geo. Really nice for manuals and such. Plus the Adamant is worth more when selling.

I actually prefer longer because of the leverage, but short definetelly has its advantages. Why did you go with the high risers instead of the sport ones?

Why did you go with the high risers instead of the sport ones? Once again, for more of a streety feel. The high rise also seems to make it a little more stable as well.

It rides fine for me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
