laurent Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 My brand new Kortz. Pretty light, and it does ride very nice. Even, if i have some issues with the rear brake alignment and the tensionners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualjoe Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Lovely bike picture, mountains are class. How do you find your back tyre for punctures? what tube do you use? basically how come your not getting flats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Lovely bike picture, mountains are class. How do you find your back tyre for punctures? what tube do you use? basically how come your not getting flats? I like it a lot! I use it with maxxis downhil tube. So tire + tube weight i think a bit less than a 850gr tire+ light tube. Being as puncture resistant.. But i confess, i have to ride it at about 2 bars (sorry don't know how many psi it does ) It's seems a bit "hard" at first, but once you get used to it, it feels precise and it ride well. For me, riding mostly natural, and only 20% street, it's a very good set up. That i can recomand! If you ride mostly street, maybe you'd better chose something else. It's i think quite a comp style set up. I decided to use this set up (speed king, with normal tube, and rubber queen 2.2 with dh tube) seeing giacomo riding it. An il like it a lot. I haven't puncture since a long time, only 3, or for times in a year. And two time due to thorn (in natural), because the sidewall is quite thin.

nathie wafie Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Really nice, I run the same tyre set up and never had any problems with them. Don't you find that with Echo forks the wheelbase is abit too long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Really nice, I run the same tyre set up and never had any problems with them. Don't you find that with Echo forks the wheelbase is abit too long? It's hard to say, for several reasons. First one, i d'ont buy the fork with the frame, so the steerer is a bit too short for my, i'm 1m87 tall. So i'm a bit too much on the front of the bike, wich is not helping me with "flats moves", if you now what i mean. Moves on two wheels. So i currently tend to say, it's a bit log (i measure it at 1100mm). But with a longer steerer, with a 2cm spacer, maybe 3cm, i'll be more on the center of the bike. So i assume, that the fact that the bike feels not so much reactive on two wheel is more due to my "bad" position tahn to the long wheelbase. Moreover, a long wheelbase helps with some statics moves. So i don't think it's too long. I'll try it with a new fork, and i'll see if it's actual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
