24martin Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) got this all built up yesterday, ordered everything from tartybikes (thanks again to adam with all the help on the phone etc ) and as per usual with tartybikes, everything turned up the next day at like 10:am! luckily i already had a sev of v-brakes lying around so i saved a bit of cash there as i was sort of building this up on a budget... and i had to pinch the pedals from my inspired to put on this untill i can afford a pair for both bikes never had a proper trials bike before so i didnt really know what to expect, but i am soooooo happy with the way it rides, its such a comfortable riding position even with a +70 bb and there is almost zero flex in anything which i was quite impressed with, i thought with it being so light it would feel really weak but it feels just as solid as my inspired! the carbon handlebars are stiff as hell but im still a bit unsure how long they will last! i've never ridden anything that requires so little effort to stay perfectly balanced on the rear wheel, literally requires zero effort.. and the v-brakes just finish it off perfectly (in my opinion) just love having the simplicity and ease of set-up with vees and the extra modulation and feel you get with them! so basicly to sum it all up, it might not be to everyones taste but im well chuffed with the way it turned out, and i look forward to flying up and down some ledges with this when the weather cheers up a bit!

isitafox Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nice, good choice with the v's but does it have carbon bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkdougie Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 How you finding grinding the bonz rear rim? Do they hold their grinds well? Noticed your ground then put tar on. Nice bike btw dude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24martin Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 thanks guys i appreciate the good comments, i've had a proper ride on it now this weekend and it is a BEAST , so light easy and flicky but yet very precise and smooth at the same time! my tgs and natty skills are going to progress incredibly quickly with this bike! Looks incredible Apart from the stem thanks dude, what is it about the stem that you don't like? i havent found any problems with it so far apart from the bars being a bitch to fit I have the weirdest boner right now.... haha that is totally understandable, i was having to control my semi the whole time i was riding it on sunday Nice, good choice with the v's but does it have carbon bars? yea im so glad i went with v's even with cheapo onza v-calipers they are miles more powerfull than a magura, and i can actually modulate them nicely and just find braking in any situation more precise! ,i could do with a decent set though like some avid ultimates (or just any v brake that doesnt have shed loads of movement down at the pivots) and yes the bars are carbon, its not like me to run any "weight weenie" stuff but i thought i would give them a shot seeing as i've heard nothing but good news about them, and considering that the 2 year old trialtech high rise bars that i have on my inspired which gets ridden every day only have 1 tiny tiny scratch on them i thought i might be able to get away with going carbon .... might change them after a few months though just for peace of mind! How you finding grinding the bonz rear rim? Do they hold their grinds well? Noticed your ground then put tar on. Nice bike btw dude thanks mate! yea the bonz rim seems to be very nice quality, but i havent had it for long enough yet to see how well they actually hold up to a grind, and yes it may look like there is tar on the rim but its not tar its just the left over paint from the brand new rim, as i had only done the very lightest of grinds as per usual and it had left some of the original coating on the rim! im running heatsink yellows on the rear and they are responding very well to the bonz rim! i do look forward to the day that we get the same choice of rims and tyres as the 26" guys though!
