Heatsink Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi all, I found this at the back of the shed. A nice little project to get it built up again and get in contact with the olden days, circa 2004! It's going to have a modest disc set-up. Still undecided about the drivetrain set-up. I do like to actually get around from A to B so it may have the sacrilege of gearing. Brace yourselves for it possibly not being historically correct, but rather in a form where it actually gets more use! Steve 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoofty Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Careful with a disc on the rear on those; hopefully 'modest' will suffice. Better off with V brakes in the rear. Should be a fun project. My Zebdi was stolen 12 years ago and I've so far resisted a few that have crossed my path since. Good luck!

Heatsink Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I've been busy....The aim was to build it in a form that it'll get maximum use. In a pure Trials spec it'll just sit in the shed! So here we have, 10 speed Shimano Zee mech & shfter, 40t front chainring on RaceFace cranks, Wellgo Magnesium pedals, some modest Shimano MT-200 disc brakes. Now it can be used for some modest trials action, wheelies, and can be ridden between the Suffolk villages to spread the gospel of Trials! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Bring back the chain slap! Dinner plate bash guard? And the circle is complete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Rode the bike to the local town this evening for a trip back in time, mucking about on it in the town centre. Deserted so ideal! The wheelies are coming back! I think they give me more joy than some of the pure trials moves. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
