Davetrials Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I ridden staples inspired and fell in love, then got told that the zoot is of a very simelar design geo wise to it, can anybody confirm this?Has anybody actually took it out and gave it some proper street welly? whats it like, who has built one with there own parts up? got any pics? i only know of a few noobs to get one and to be honest there just gonna back hop it around. ive also got it stuck in my head its just a small rex, apparently this isnt true it just looks simelar.

Lee Cable Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I rode paulolivers, and i find that it is a tad short for me, but suppose i could get used to it. Yes they are extremly streety and look damn indrestructable . Was expecting the 24" to be a tad flickier but you cant have all you want in life. Its a very nice ride, and will be even nicer when his pro2 arrives. He took the maggys of straight away and he is running a ultimate rear and a juicy front. Its a beast.

Davetrials Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 he better get me sum pics, when u say not flicky, what do u mean, cos i persoannly find i can chuck any short bike around, and class the 26" as not flicky as its a bus.

Ben Geary Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) I went on a stock one with a hope mono trial disk up front and it din't feel like a 24" to be onist, it felt a little slugish and not how a 24" should feel like .... when i look at 24" bikes i think spins and fast stuff ... with the Zoot it just looks like smaller T-rex.I don't think they are for spinny stuff etc ... there more if you want a 20" or a 26" then the Zoot if were it's at.If i was you i wouldnt go for one, get a leeson or something along the lines if you do.Ben.

rich4130 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I reckon if you set one up with light 24" bits, rhyno lite/tioga rims, light front tyre, high bars and stem, front V brake, pashley forks it would ride well, I've never ridden one though.I'd get a heatsink for the money.

Brian Bleech Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have had a go on a standard one, felt ok! But the front end is all wrong on the standard one, too low and flat bars, yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cable Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 By flicky i mean that 180's and stuff seem harder than on my 26".I thought that it would be more flicky, but it just wasnt. But it stays on the backwheel forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 im gonna do a mini initial review soon, when i get pics, just so people get an idea of what they are likethe sluggishness-thats simple cos they come with 2.5 slow reezay tyres as standard, cant expect it to roll well with them.....im now in the process of putting a front moto digger on, and im trying to find a nice rear style with a little less rolling resistance also the extra weight of those tyres really doesnt helpthey do need a high bar and stem, due to the bb rise and stuff, im assuming onza specced a slightly lower and shorter setup as its more of a small persons stock?anyway i ditched the supplied stuff for a 90x15 thompson stem and a set of 2.5 azonic dws-good shit the forks are quite short, they are proper 24 ones, im gonna try it out sometime with some pures/fattys (cos they are both different lengths and i have them spare/on my stock) and see what suits it best the fly guys that come with it do seem to be pretty nice though, im not grumbling 1 thing that everyone seems to of got wrong about the zoot-its short as hell, well maybe thats a little exagerated, but its faaaaar shorter than my base (1040) and not the long bike everyone thought it was going to be when they first saw itfor the price, you really cant go wrong i think, amazing value for money, just they need to rethink the spec list and aim for the right market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
