DrEvil270183 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 you got a planet X at moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 i hear you might be gettin ians vinco the bike is very nice on th back wheel but i really cant see big backwheel gaps on that and i would prefer somethin less than 80mm of bb rise good frame though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet-x-boy Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Yes i have a planet x zebdi mk6 with a crack in it. Ino it wont realy be great for the big street moves but i want to concentrate on back wheels, gaps and hooks so i want to try something different. Also i have my first biggish comp next month and iv heard that they are very good on natural. Any more videos lads??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvil270183 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 there good on the back wheel yes but if you go from a planet X-short and normal BB (i think) to a 1100WB, 80mm high bb bike it will be stupidly different. when Kev got his it rode nice apart from gapping an replacing. you should really have a go on one first an take your time thinking about it. lots of people get on them, ride on the back wheel an think wow!! just because its nice on the back wheel they decide they would love one. after few months you could regret it...

Waynio Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 there awesum on the roks are the vincos!!!! very stable and thats where the heart is in that bike. on the ROXX!!!!! made by KOXX (Y) you could go to something more in your range that isnt such a big step up. something longer yet not as high on the BB, something like the kenny belaey???? or the Caisso???? dependant on how long you want to go Waynio.......................

planet-x-boy Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Iv heard by people that although it is a 1100 wb it feels alot smaller because of the bb rise. The comps that i will be entering will be mainly rocks and i have heard by nearly everyone that the vincos are one of the best on natural. I no it will take alot of getting used to but i am 6ft and the 1020 wb on my planet x was wayyyyyyyyy to short and didnt feel very comfortable so i need something quite alot longer and iv always wanted to give the high bb a good try and if its not what i am looking for it can always be sold and a new one brought in.

Simpson Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 if your thinking of getting ians vinco and run a set up simialiar i can tell you how it rides, (now you know why im happy to wait outside Mc Donalds while they go inside :lol: ) Its very nice on the back wheel and very easy to get up, hopping with ease you dont have to consetate. The BB rise feels wierd and will be a huge change from a planet X feels like you need a step up stool to get on the it but once boarded it is fine. I dont ride natural but i think its supposed to be 1 of the best available, but id advise you rode a long bike with a higher bb 1st, but ians is nice and in good condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet-x-boy Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Thanks for the comments lads. Also what are the frames like for hooking? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 yeah their really nice to ride but it will probablaly help if you have a ride on one yourself if possible so you can experiance what its like so you can have your own opinion.

DrEvil270183 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 i dont understand how everyone is saying its one of best frames to ride natural on, aint there only 3/4people who own them in britain. XTps, coust, Levelbosses etc are good comp frames etc otherwise cousts and vince wouldnt rie them :lol: dont be fooled into thinking it will tranform you into a natural riding god. i still say get out there and ride as many frames as you can, trying Different moves so you get a feel for each bike.

Ash-Kennard Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I agree, I find short bikes nicer for natty stuff. Hence the leeson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 and most people who ride natural also have 0, +10, +20 BB rise's so in comparision +80 is f**king huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Right.... i own a vinco for a start i have rode a levelboss, xtp, GU, echo control.. and a few more(not all mine btw) but on natural stuff the vinco is by far the best. its so easy to move around on both wheels despite the long wheelbase. On the back wheel the bike is stupidly easy to manouver and balance. and people who say vincos are crap for gaps just arent doing it right, i can static level gap mine over 8.5 ft(tape measure not tf tape measure) and im not that good a rider. gaps to front wheel are great on it too, way over 7 ft. taps are strange yet also good, just you have to approace the wall abit differently( takes very little alteration from a low bb bike) i cant do vertical wall hooks yet, but on a slightly slanteg wall the vinco is so easy to hook, and after watching TRA videos its obvious that its great for hooks. overall i would say the vinco is an amazing bike and just ignore the odd sounding geometry and peoples opinons of high bb and buy the frame and you will not regret it. the frame will feel strange at first but after a couple of weeks when you become comfortable on it you will never want to ride another bike as they all seem sluggish and sh*te on the rear wheel. BUYBUYBUY!!!!! ps not many people own 1 and they sure attract attention on big rides so makes you feel special lol so dont be suprised when people ask you for ago( not that i mind) :lol: (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
