Sethgun Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 hmmmmm, so the fourplay is going..... and im looking at using alot of my parts form it for either a new limey3 frame, or a new cannibal 3 with the forks. Which way should I go? They are both about the same length n im a shortass (about 5'7") but i still wanna do street, just alot more tgsthan i could do on the fourplay. Dont get me wrong the fourplay was good n fun, but I want something bigger and more stable and easier on the rear. Heard nothing but good about the new limeys but not a heck of alot on the cannibal3. I know in the cannibal u can change the geo via the dropouts but thats not a major point for me..... Any feedback would b great, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 The latest batch of Limey 3's are awesome, I love riding mine feels damn comfortable and I'm only 5'8", solid stiff frames with an extremely dent resistant downtube. Can't comment on the Ozonys as I've never ridden one, but from experience with a Limey 3 I'd say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I cracked my Limey pretty fast! SO get an ozonys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 If you don't want to have to change too much on your setup, why not get the Because 24" trials frame? That Pab dude seems to ride his for 'real' trials pretty well, but I'd have thought it'd be more chuckable than a stock if you're not the tallest person in the world? Here's the frame, to give you an idea: Or built up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I cracked my Limey pretty fast! SO get an ozonys! Yeah you had one of the original batches didn't you? Did it have hose routing holes in the top tube? The first batch had thinner wall thickness for the top tube and the hose routing, they used to crack on the hose routing holes and on the top tube near the seat tube area. The latest batch don't have the hose routing holes and have a thicker top tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see Onza repaired that problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethgun Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 thanks for the feedback guys, i am sorta more inclined to go with a limey3 anyhow becuase of nothing but good ive heard. Was looking at a because frame too, anyone ridden the trials 24" ? BB is pretty high on those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 The high BB on a 24" is equilavent to a lower BB on a stock. The fourplay has a +35 BB, which is equilvalent to +10 on a stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethgun Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 yeh but the bb rise on the because is +70mm, double the insired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking at a because frame too, anyone ridden the trials 24" ? BB is pretty high on those! I had a bit of a hop around on the one we built up and it felt pretty nice. Didn't do any serious moves on it, but it felt like a good bike to actually ride. Was really nice on the back wheel, and doing some basic sorta gapping stuff it felt like a really nice compromise between mod and stock. That Pabtrials (I think his name is on here?) put a video out on his recently that might give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
