Chaotic3vil Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I want it to be nicer for trials without being long for spins. Its going to be just a matter of stem choice I guess. I was afraid about the WB being to short and my front wheel touching my front foot on barspins. I think It's a good compromise for street and trials. I still need to see how the frame is going with Marino because maybe I can still change a bit on the BB rise to 17mm or 20mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 how about going for shorter cs wit the same wb?got 365 and is spinny as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic3vil Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I prefer longer stays to have it more balanced. 365mm CS will be more flickable but to have a "decent" WB I don't want more reach than 605mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 So, in a friendly way, I'm completely jealous of Andre's barspins and tailwhips. Awesome riding and editing. The latter in a style that I really appreciate but you don't really see that much unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Cant stop watching this. Love the bar spins! Its not even like you're doing them on the flat either. Thanks for holding them back from videos till you got them down to use in lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try to get more footage out. with 605 toptube length the reach is around 645 with that bb height...just saying Yeah I got confused with the reach and top tube length. Reach measures from the BB to the center of the headtube. But yeah, I guess it's a good reach for trials while having it short for spins and whips. I'm so stoked! Can wait to get my Marino frame and forks! Cant stop watching this. Love the bar spins! Its not even like you're doing them on the flat either. Thanks for holding them back from videos till you got them down to use in lines. Didn't took much time passing them to lines and drops. Barspins is one of those things that you really can't think to much about it. It's too fast to think. When you start to feel the hang time in the air it's virtually the same flat or drop. It's technically harder on flat but but on drop you got to have that leap of faith mental part going on. Thanks for the comments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic3vil Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks for the comments. Havent been riding too much lately due to other commitments but Im hoping starting filming in a short while with the marino. The bike feels really good. Just upgraded it with a 100mm rise NS District Bar and a 90x35 stem. Feels even better now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic3vil Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm still using 20mm stackers because I'm not keen on cutting the steering tube. The bike feels good. Rides a bit like a mod with the big bar rise. Still thinking if maybe a 70x35 stem would be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
