Deng?

[aener]

I'm just a bit curious as to how dominant in the UK market Deng is.

I'm thinking he probably takes around 40% of it, all told.

As for me, I just surprised myself to realise it's option 4. Only my rear hub is Deng.

And you?

Edit: Added "Completely Deng", just in case.

Just my TR pedals now! Oh, and TR front rim thinking about it. Used to be a Deng frame, pair of hubs, pair of rims, freewheel, sprocket, headset and seatclamp but it's gradually gone down...

When my lynx comes from tarty, the only deng i will have is frame and echo tr brake clamps, and a echo 05 lever blade oops and a echo tr freewheel.

Stock - front hub, both rims, rear brake clamps, freewheel, grips, frame

Mod - both rims, rear clamps, grips, bars, bashring, frame

[Revolver]

It used to be forks for me, but I swapped them out so now it's nothing.

[isitafox]

Oh yeah, forks on both!!

About f**king time.

They were horrendous. (major sp?)

As the bike stands now it has only two deng parts! TR nondisc fronthub, and Echo TR freewheel.

I have some deng parts on order though, Sl Lever, Ti freewheel, Ti cog, Sl pedals.

In my eyes Deng stuff is great.. Strong, light stuff at a nice price!

[BlueSmokeyJoe]

Mostly deng;

GU 20" - Frame, headset, forks, rear hub, both rims, TR pedals, SL freewheel, sprocket, cranks, brake clamps, lever blade, bar and stem.

GU 26" - Frame, headset, TR pedals, SL freewheel, cranks, bar, stem, lever blade, brake clamps and booster.

And a spare 06 Python frame

Most of the new SL range + a GU frame. Rest is from Trialtech.

The thing with Deng is that his parts are good value so they will be popular. Those who have a slightly higher budget will probably be more inclined to look into other parts.

[Jake Beach]

Think I'm deng free atm

[Hannah Shucksmith]

Juuuuust a lever blade.

[PeanuckleJive]

Absolutely dengtastic:

Zoo Python frame

Zoo Forks

Zoo stem

Echo headset

Echo bars

Echo rims

Echo rear hub (soon to be a profile)

Echo brake clamps

Echo cranks

Echo brake booster

Oops!

[Jamie_Trials]

Forks, rear hub and cranks, was thinking there would be more but now its tryall that rocks my socks.

[Zoo!Man]

I have Zoo! '09 Python frame, Echo lite forks and Echo Tr pedals. Rest is from Trialtech and Zhi

Maybe I worded it badly, maybe you took it the wrong way, or maybe I'm taking your responses the wrong way - but it sounds like you're defending Deng. In no way was I slating him - I just wanted to know HOW popular his products were.

[Tom Canham]

Ive got Echo stem, forks and brake clamps.

Edit: Just remembered that is have Czar bars.

Only Deng product I've ever owned is a pair of Echo Hifi forks that came on a second hand bike I bought, since been replaced with some Identiti Tuning forks. Never bought a Deng product myself in my life.

[Andeee]

Only Deng products i own are:

Echo pure 06.5 stock frame

Silver Czar brake booster

Echo stem.

Rest is all trialtech, middleburn, try-all and zhi

Why the aversion to Deng?

N.B. - Not in the defensive way... In the curious way.

[Dan6061]

I've got some old Echo Lite forks - Now cracked, half an Adamant bashring, and an 06 front echo rim - Which is now single-walled and cracked between the spoke holes...

[craigjames]

A set of Urbans as my Rockman forks died on me

So then why make a poll that is only asking if your bike has none, all or above/below (and including) ~20% deng components?

[Muel]

My only bike left has no deng parts at all. I feel proud.

EDIT: Shit, echo forks.

As the rest of the post said, I'm talking about the UK MARKET, not each individual bike.

That's a decent threshold for "not many" and "quite a few" Deng components to be set at.

The "Deng free" bikes, and bikes with very few bits compare to the ones with a lot of Deng componentry. If the two thresholds give the same amount of votes, it'll be approximately 25% of the market (assuming that the average bike in the "lots of Deng parts" category is around 50% Deng.)

Besides, I've already asked you to leave me alone and stop responding to my posts. I don't give you hastle, please stop giving it to me.

Don't go deleting my posts this time - I'm the maker of this thread, and I'm 100% fine with it getting clogged up.

Piss off.
