Ben Swales Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Supposedly already available direct from K-124, although not on their website yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Somebody know if new try-all Forxx is the same as the fork of new Sky 26' but in black colour? Yes. Any idea when the new yaabaa stinger frames will be available? Couple of weeks - confirmed the geo: 1050 wheelbase, 390 chainstay - not sure if that changes anything!

Matt Burrows Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 That´s really terrible geo for 26 trials bike Kids Couple of weeks - confirmed the geo: 1050 wheelbase, 390 chainstay - not sure if that changes anything! Sounds interesting, looking forward to getting all the details! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ok,Are they designed for midgets?because if they are,then I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasil Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 That´s really terrible geo for 26 trials bike Almost agree. With that wheelbase I imagine something more streety looking, like this: (I think that's a Syntace) Initially I thought it's too short (based on my 1065 echo experience) but if Oehler can ride an Inspired Hex (and he is definitely a tall rider) than 1050 is good. Matt Burrows never disappointed me with his skills yet so if he buys one I look forward to see a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ok,Are they designed for midgets?because if they are,then I was wrong. Try telling these guys Video After riding with them both in the last 2 weeks I can safely say their trials riding abilities are way beyond 99% of this forum! Obviously a streety bike won't be the best to learn on, ride tech rocks or break world sidehop records with. But if, like me, you've been riding for years, have all the basics down and just want to enjoy riding, then something different to the sea of TGS frames available is very welcome! Also, wheelbase does not equal size! A 1050 wheelbase bike could still have a decent reach and be a vary capable pure trials bike. Matt Burrows never disappointed me with his skills yet so if he buys one I look forward to see a video. Thanks Vasil, although my days of skills and videos may be long gone I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Still got the moves if our surprisingly frequent Bristol rides are anything to go by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarf Shortage Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 It takes serious skills to do front wheel hops whilst looking that good with a matching belt and socks combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasil Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Thanks Vasil, although my days of skills and videos may be long gone I'm afraid Never say never. Still one of the best videos out there. Make a video with the stinger, if you buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Used to watch that video all the time. First time I heard the Mars Volta too, which was in turn awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Ha You guys are far too kind, I'm glad people still enjoy that vid! It would never have happened though if it wasn't for the inspiration and help of my local riding friends at the time, who have since all moved on. I would still really love to make a high quality and well produced video, something to show the grandkids in years to come! But unless I move to a bigger city with a good riding scene it is never going to happen. Anyway back on topic... looking forward to the stinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 The 'Elite' bars (as featured on the Sky 2 complete bikes) are actually out seperately now. Width: 755mm (29.75in) Total rise: 93mm Upsweep: 14° Backsweep: 9° Weight: 301g 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 High too! not surprised with the BB hight on those bikes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Also new for 2011, the 3D Forged 26" stem is now available in 127mm x 30° and 90mm x 30° sizes. They also share the same 2-bolt front clamp system as the 20" stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Guess the extra rise on the 26" stem makes sense, it'll work better with the Sky 2. Plus I'm sure it makes manufacturing cheaper. Once set of dies for all the stems, cut to length and weld a clamp on that's common to all stems. Short stem is interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guus Bouwmans Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Do the Sticky Lites have more grip than the Stickys? The grip improved a bit, but these tyres (especially the front ones) wear quite quickly . I won't buy them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmks88 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 The grip improved a bit, but these tyres (especially the front ones) wear quite quickly . I won't buy them again. its strange that everyone says that they wear quickly ive had mine for over a year and they look like new i ran through maxxis tires with 4-6 months for comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
