Skoze Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Change the forks and you're onto a winner - nice work dude! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Couldn't agree with the above comments on change of forks. Why not? I don't think the ZOO! forks particularly go that well...They do kind'a look like fatties/ashtons but its just not the same having Deng on there. If you were to pick up some Pasheys, Fatties or Ashtons then they might go a little better. Might have a longer steerer too which would help the way it rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was supposed to say, couldn't agree MORE with the above comments about changing the Zoo forks to something like Trialtech and the maximum height of stem stackers to improve the ride.

SamKidney Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Looks amazing. Better than it did when Dan had it (sorry! :$ ) I think having straight blade forks, smooth rims and all black components make the bike. Love the Vee setup. Much lower profile than Evo mounts with a mag. Edited June 27, 2012 by Echo Lite 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maximum height? Whats that? From personal experience and in my opinion, with that bar and stem set up, an extra 25mm of stackers would suffice.

From personal experience and in my opinion, with that bar and stem set up, an extra 25mm of stackers would suffice. This, there is such a thing as too high, 20 odd mm of spacers would be fine on that unless you're 6ft 7".

TrialsIsHard Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 That's so ghetto and also a really nice build at the same time Looks so much like my inspired currently does.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwannaleeson! Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Cheers for all the comments guys. Definitely rides how I want it to! In regards to the forks. . I may look to change them at a later date as they came straight of the GU, but for now seem to ride ok. Also stem height is limited by my steerer length at the moment which I thought might be a bit low but again, rides spot on so not sure if I would want to change it.

SamKidney Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 well that's what happens when your on a budget and don't have mummy and daddy to pay for everything My mummy and daddy dont pay a thing for my riding. Hence my current situation, having no bike as I cant afford to replace broken components. Looool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Please look after this bike by the way. What people say about it "snapping" is very true. Ive had two. The first one cracked at the seat tube first. Got that bit welded, then it cracked at the head tube and got that welded... After that it wasnt the same and because it wasnt heat treated after the welds the cracks kept reforming. The one I have just now is cracked at the head tube At the weekend in the horrible weather I decided to file the dropouts so I dont have to run a tensioner. Best idea ever!
