JIX Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yeah I agree with bar height for sure. My short control is very hard to bunny hop, but I have a really low bar height of like 38.5inches with BB+20mm. When I snapped my ashton forks I put a spare set on that were really short, so I raised my bars up quite a bit to compenaste, and she bunnyhopped really nice. I think it just allowes you to be in a better position over the bike to pull up. But then the trialsy moves were a little harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipsy Jock Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 My Zoo's pretty hard to bunnyhop, although i'm teaching myself to do them properly at the mo. Because of the ultra short chainstays its pretty unpredictable. Is just gonna take me a while to get the hang of it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hi Mark, At the moment Mat Hudson (who I think rides with you) is testing a variety of pad compounds for me in Vee backings, in conjunction with alternative glueing processes. Please don't read too much into some of these unsuccessful explorations - it's all part of the process of striving to test as thoroughly as humanely possible (Y) Steve ← I was refering to the production pads he had initially, as I kinda knew the blues would be more proto than production. Unless I'm mistaken and the reds he initially had weren't production items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadly venom Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 There are a lot of different views on the subject of bunny hopping. I guess I am just going to have to wait until I get my bike together to find out if it is easy or difficult. I don't have a problem with bunny hoping at all. Matter of fact I can hop 4ft 9 inches at a medium roll on my Ares. How do the bulge bars feel? I have seen photos of riders using these bars but they have such a strange shape. Are the Try-All bars Comfortable and sturdy? As to what type of riding I plan to do, I plan to do natural trials. Ride on, deadly venom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
