kristaps Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Hi all ! Yesterday we built up first 24'' zhi trials bike. Actually I want to say - amazing ! Feels like stock, but control is easier with smaller wheels. Frame: Weight: ~1.6Kg Wheelbase: 1080mm BB: +75mm Chainstay: 380mm Hub space: 135mm Cheers Edited December 21, 2011 by kristaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 That geo looks shit. How so out of interest I dont really know a great deal about 24" geo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Far too long, its got a stock geo! Who knows though, might ride nice.. Would be too long for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Leech Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Looks.....wrong. It's a stock frame with either- A ) Mounts welded on in a diferent position or B ) a vee that has enough pad adjustment to allow a 24" to be used. Josh. Edit- and from looking at the picture a bit closer, looks very much like B to me. Edited December 21, 2011 by Rob Leech 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 nice original font on your logo. Is that frame 24" specific or is the brake and the position a key factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Far too long, its got a stock geo! Who knows though, might ride nice.. Would be too long for me though. Looks like it has quite a slack headangle to compensate for the long wheel base, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatrip Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Can see by first pic that mounts are in the right place, does look awful though. Edit: rob I think its A more then anything. Edited December 21, 2011 by onzatrip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dd Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Holy chain stay lenght and wheel base! 1 and 2 miles long respectively! Surely he is wrong with geo or Zhi messed up good?! Can't find geo anywhere on their site too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Maybe its a proto? Not a f**k up, look what i found: http://trialparts.net/store/110-zhi-z3r-2011-24-.html those colours are hideous. And this is the tewnty SIX version: http://trialparts.net/store/30-zhi-z3r-26.html Exactly the same!!

kristaps Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yes, unfortunately ZHI doesn't worry about making new frame for 24''. They just took stock frame and moved brake clamps for 24'' wheel size :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uldis Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) It's interesting how you can judge the bike even if you haven't ridden it. The owner of this ride has just got into trials and I think this is really good bike for beginning.

The owner of this ride has just got into trials and I think this is really good bike for beginning. I think a lot of people are judging due to the fact, the geo is for 26' wheels not 24, and in that sense it hasn't been developed enough to class it as a 24 bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Geo aside, why arent they sticking disc tabs on 24" frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just took stock frame and moved brake clamps for 24'' wheel size :cool2: Shows how much they're commiting to the 24 market really. They would only of had to shorten the rear triangle and it would of made sense then, big shame, would of been nice to see this frame made properly for 24. Do you know the reach on it btw?

Actually Zhi frames are one of the strongest frames on the market ! Quite good quality, for low prices and people who can`t afford expensive lightweight super brand parts ( where 30 - 40 % of price is only brand) For example : Zhi Team 26'' frame (1.5kg) Bionic B5R 20'' frame (1.45kg) Zhi Team 20'' frame (1.35kg) And a lot of other lightweight parts...
