Ben Swales Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) I got my new bike through form Tribal Zine last week, only just got round to getting some photos of it. Full Bonz/Trialtech build, Maxxis High Roller tyres, 2011 Hs33... Not really ridden it properly yet, but so far it feels super nice! Really light and responsive. Need to play with the bar angle a bit, but apart from that, it's pretty much spot on! Looking forward to testing it out at the Tyke Trial tomorrow (in the mud and rain ) And a quick phone pic of my 'bandwagon' bike (cheers to Davetrials) that I got for playing on Edited July 16, 2011 by Ben Swales 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepo09 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Really nice bike man Congrats. BTW I'm really liking those frames Geo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestDump Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Looks like a top build mate, nice one! What are those 2011 HS33's like? Are they better than previous models? I'm thinking of getting a pair for my stock build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Cheers guys. The geo (from Tarty Bikes, as I've not measured it myself) is 1070 / 380 / +35 / 73º Not really ridden the bike properly yet, but the brakes seem fine. The levers are a shorter than my previous HS33, but I haven't noticed any difference in power. They have a bit of 'sponge' to them, but I quite like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hows that rear rim ? meant to be like the V!Z rim which is rubbish haha, really good looking bike though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Not really ridden the bike properly yet... So I can't really say yet. I only really had problems with my Viz rim after about 6 months of riding and changing my brake pads from the Ozonys/Bonz ones I had on originally, so if this one is like that, I won't really mind.

BikeTrial Federation Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hi Dave. They're the Bonz riser bars - they're a bit different to what I'm used to, but I like them! Yeah, have a play next week be good to see you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Really nice mate, bet you're well chuffed. Pretty much perfect apart from the gash looking hs33 levers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Is this a mod stem? Very nice bike. Just too short wheelbase for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Both are looking fine 'cept I have to agree with dan on those levers Geo sounds rather funky though to make up for it Will have to get out next week on one or the other, or both! I've got a millionth of the way through fixing the car so will be out and about again next week Edited July 16, 2011 by Duncy H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Is this a mod stem? Very nice bike. Just too short wheelbase for my taste. No, it's the longer of the Bonz 26" stems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a millionth of the way through fixing the car so will be out and about again next week I don't think the leveres look that bad. When they first came out I wasn't sure about them, but they've grown on me. The only thing is, they look a bit bulky from the sides, but who cares, right? Defo up for riding this week, I'll drop you a line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
