Alex Dark Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Hey just thought I'd put some pictures up on here of the new and old ride! So happy to finally get it after loads of messing around with currency conversions / money transfers it eventually turned up . I've put pretty much all the parts on that I've always wanted, real coust pads, try-all esque stem, Ti bash, and rear king so I'm pretty chuffed now! Only things that I'm going to be changing are the crank bolts . There's a few home made parts on there at the moment and plenty more to follow when I get the time, and some I just haven't got round to putting on yet. Only had a about half an hour on it, before it started drizzling here but I love it. Definitely the bike that's suited me the most for sure. Zhi Geometry is: 1078, 378, 72, +58 with TT forks. Zhi Specification is: Home made parts: Trialtech fork insert, to allow m6 bolt to be used and thus sloped top cap, without ruining integral threads. RB inspired booster, wider to cover cross over and longer to cover splitter. Chris King axle washers, as the originals wouldn't quite squeeze into the frame. Homemade mounts, a bit like the old zhi mounts. but made on a manual mill and lathe Rear Wheel Chris King Classic hub Superstar components 14t cog DT spokes ZHI - R rear rim ( Try-all h0le ) Front Wheel Onza pro series front hub ( lathed out, with homemade axle washers and preload caps , -30gr ) Sapim DB spokes ZHI - R front ( Try-all h0le ) Drivetrain KMC Z610HX Middleburn RS7 cranks Middleburn Titanium bash, lathed down. FSA Platinum 128 DH bb Wellgo magnesium pedals Controls Zhi 3D 127 x 27 stem ( try-all / rockman basically ) Viz pro 720 bars Some form of foamies? Brakes Rear RB designs Lever blade Magura HS33 2003 quicksilver, resprayed silver. Koxx Yellow pads up front on a light grind. Echo TR clamps Front RB designs Lever blade Magura HS33 2003 quicksilver, resprayed silver. 'Real' Coustellier pads up front on a light grind.

Heatsink coust pads on back, koxx up front. Zhi disc rear hub, onza master front Try-all cranks Tensile FFW Trialtech BB KMC Z610HX Viz forged stem Neon bars, changed to montys now Gold chris King headset By dark_biker at 2011-03-12 By dark_biker at 2011-03-12 By dark_biker at 2011-03-12 So tempted to go dual disc on this frame, but that means new forks and brakes. Geo is: 1005, 71.5, 350, +70. Edited March 12, 2011 by Alex Dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikjon Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 nice clean lines! I love how there isn't any decals on it. Not a big fan of seatless bikes but this here maybe just swing me! Zhi's getting real popular, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhi's getting real popular, aren't they? Thanks mate! I quite like it without the stickers to be honest. They are now, really well made frames at bargain prices. Pm me if youre interested in finding out where to obtain them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Are you keeping your rear rim as smooth mate? Tell me if these pads do work on smooth rim please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Are you keeping your rear rim as smooth mate? Tell me if these pads do work on smooth rim please. They do work really well on smooth, but i put a grind on in about 10minutes flat. Really don't trust smooth rim at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
