Mark W Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Seriously, they're aaaaaaaaaall good. I really, really love my Zip frame, it's just the best to ride.Buy the f**ker But yeah, headsets wise anything will fit. Probably the best would be the FSA Pig for aaaaaaaaround £10 or so. Just go to "Headsets" on www.chainreactioncycles.com and pick whichever one is within your price range.'fraid not about the bashplate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) not sure about the bash guard but this headset will fitlinkyi've been running mine for just over a year, with lots of front hops and stresses around the headtube area, with no problems. Order through Clive Leeson though and its £25 plus p+p rather than 32.give him a ring, a letter or an email, he is a sound guy and very trust worthyTel: 01933 314285 Post: Leesonbikes, 48 Gypsy Lane, Irchester, Northants, NN29 7DL Email: leesonbikes@tesco.netEDIT: best to ring though as he tends not to reply to emails.

Ash-Kennard Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 yes.here is a message from a mate in newmembers who owns one:Well, i would say that best headset would be either, fsa orbit or fsa pig, never had a problem with mine, also if you end up buying the zona bash, watch out, as it tends to bend at the front because its weak as there are holes init. But buying a zona is a great choice i have one and it rides lovely, i would also say get the widist rim you can as the brake mounts arent always nice and square,which makes it a mission to set brakes up nicley on a skinny rim. good luck hope its all goes well.Wilky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 say thankyou so much to him what bashguard can i buy tht isnt week and also i have koxx drilled frnt nd back r dey wide enought?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 If it is the 47mm rear rim, then yes, if its the old 42mm rim then still yes lol. but a ronnie is pushing it.The front rim should never be a problem.He says the onza bashplates do fit too. Definately the t-pro bash, but he ain't sure on the t-bird one.why isn't he validated lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Thanks, Also can someone tell me what bashguard i need that is cheap, thanks Basicaly any bash will fit (aaprt from t-bird/t-vee) Such as: Echo, Onza, Zona (of course), Monty etc. I'd advise you get the Zip from Tartybikes, as all the hard wo0rk has been done by them for you. So no faffing about with bottom brackets, headsets, bashplates etc. What bike do you have at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Im buying the bike from super cycles (good deal) im getting all the hard work itted for free so its ok i have a t bird at the moment modded though its got koxx frnt nd back rims surly frnt hub new koxx try alll bars nd gusset pedals.

PaRtZ Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Koxx rim does fit fine, but its a tight squeeze. This means that the brake is really sharp though Also Im sure if you email supercycles you can ask them to fit the bash plate for you, and they shouldn't charge you extra for it...

Mark W Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hey dude,The Zips are surprisingly good for street. They sit into manuals really well, and they're actually quite nice for bunnyhops once you adjust to the bike. They are really good though Good for spins too, can 360 bunnyhop mine and do rolling 180 bunnyhop gaps over stuff 'n' all...My e-mail address is in my card over there <- so just add me if you want Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 It'll be better to ride, definitely They're pretty much one of the best and cheapest frames available, so you should fine it's pretty awesome Got X-Pedals on there now though, and some fresh tyre-age...
