trialsguru Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 is the short (1065) really 1065 on these? seems unlikly as they have a smaller cock pit size than the ashton which is 1055? can anyone shed some light?basically im wanting something along the lines of the ashton as ive had one before but it needs to be short enough for bunnyhops etc, the control seems perfect aslong as its around 1050 with urbansanyone help me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Isn't cockpit size the distance between the seat and the bars? The frame has no seat... therefore, no cockpit size, only a toptube length.The 1065 measurement is with a 400mm length fork that has a 45mm rake and a headset which has a 10mm high lower bearing cup. The urbans are 400mm forks and although i can't find an exact measurement on rake they do look like they aren't far off 45mm. So i don't think they've mis-measured their frame.The thing i can't beleive is how you think an extra 1.5 cm is going to make it impossible to bunnyhop a wheelbase of 1080 is easily bunnyhoppable so i'm pretty sure you'll be fine with it, and besides, it has short chainstays so it'll be easier to pull up.

the judge Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 As Krisboats said I don't think 1.5cm would make much difference. Bar and stem would make more difference I think. I've got a 1065 control with a 90mm echo stem and zoo bars and it's easily bunnyhoppabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) all true except urbans are 415mm long.my control (long) measures at 1095 and i bunnyhop that with ease.Really, well thats not what the echo site says. urban fork: * most popular26" trials fork. * 400mm fork blades, offer a low stem position. * super oversize fork blades very strong. * extra thickness stem with inner tube, very strong. * 9mm thickness CNC disc mount. * available in any brake mounts: disc brake+V brake mounts; disc brake+4 bolts mounts; disc brake mount only.

Brian Bleech Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 It make a bike bunnyhopable a higher front end is more important than length, but a shorter bike is easier to spin!I would go for a the short control, with 90-100mm stem and a 'proper' set of risers like some eastons or azonics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
