tipus Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 hmm. T-mag's WB is about 1000mm The wheelbase on t-pro is 1030mm. If you like flicky bikes, i think you will be happy with the t-mag. It's not so many people that have the t-mag, but many people is very happy about their t-pro. But all i've heard about the t-mag is positive... Don't know if this helped you though :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 They also have the same spec apart from the frame and front brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towler Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I have a t-mag and love it, nice and lite lovely feeling when i ride it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 The 05 T-Pro is made from U6 alloy, the same as Zoo!'s and Echo's, whereas the T-Mag is made from 7005 alloy which isn't as light or as strong as U6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'd go for new 05 T-pro. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornabytrials.co.uk Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'd go for new 05 T-pro. (Y) ← lol i really dont know what to get. what forks and front disk could i get for the T Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 lol i really dont know what to get. what forks and front disk could i get for the T Pro ← Forks: Echo Teams, disk only £70 Disk: Avid BB7 (for ease of use) or Hope Mono Trial (If you wanna fag with hydraulics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towler Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 From riding both bikes, i still say t-mag it just feels better to ride IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 The t pros wb aint 1030 lol, something like T-pro 1000 t-mag 1015 Id gho for the t-mag just to be different and the fact its a better frame and geo. The t pro however i supoose is lighter cheaper and stronger so its your decision (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Just a bit off topic and out of interest, why is the T-Pro now made with U6 and the T-Mag not? If the T-Mag was made from U6 I thinnk it would be a surefire better seller than the T-Pro spec-wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Because...when the t-pro was amde out of the cheasy 6061 it snapped to easily...so changing the material increased the strength of the welding and tubing(downtube + anything = (Y) :- ). And i think theyre using 7005 because its cheaper? and they can always change the materials if it sells well. also i think 6061 is better for welding...i.e stronger on the welds..... wereas 7005 is stronger tubing the t-pro has a WB of about 1010 with onza forks. i think the t-mag is about 1000. ^^^^ but echo team forks or something similar could surely extend it (Y) Burton :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornabytrials.co.uk Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 so the T mag is better?hate it when people say different things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 so the T mag is better?hate it when people say different things! ← its a matter of opinion. (Y) id prefer the t-pro because its longer and has similar geometry to a koxx lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 The 05 T-Pro is made from U6 alloy, the same as Zoo!'s and Echo's, whereas the T-Mag is made from 7005 alloy which isn't as light or as strong as U6. ← The zoo! isn't make outof U6 like the t-pro. It all depends on weather you want a disk or not. If you get the t-pro and want a disk, you have to replace the hub, and the forks. The t-mag ahd the hub and forks to take it (not to mention it comes with a disk). So realy you just need to base you decision on that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADBob Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 my t mag = 1004mm WB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornabytrials.co.uk Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 basically i but the T PRO i order some echo forks and a New front wheel (disk compatible) or i just buy the T mag. so going on what people say if i get the t pro and also get echo forks.. im gonna have a decent setup. probably better than that of the T Mag..

When you can just go out and buy the t-mag? It'll be a bit cheaper in the long run, and much less hastle. Edited April 27, 2005 by JT!

andyroo Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 (edited) ^^^^ but echo team forks or something similar could surely extend it :) ← No they don't they shrink the wheelbase because of the angle of the headtube on the T-Pro The zoo! isn't make outof U6 like the t-pro. ← Yes, the Zoo!'s ARE made of U6, go look on the spec on Tartybikes Edited April 27, 2005 by andyroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyroo Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 even the 05 modles with a Bashring? ← Yeah, its a UCI bashring (so its quite thin), which is held in place by the freewheel. The cranks are designed to fit a freewheel and a bashring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
