his mech is fine, personally i think its just that the mech hangers are weak, gaz himself also thinks that this is the problem, i have not seen him land on his mech once, but they still seem to snap easily, must be the power your producing
iam there definately can not wait for the ride, hope the weather stays good for us, i will be there at 11:00am station doors, we will wait till 11:30ish for other people coming in!
i have a bell on my bmx use it all time, i can see why it has become a law, not long ago some one got killed locally, because he couldnt get out of the way of a bicycle speeding down a hill.
Why would you say those frames are better then a zip? Because of the price? The world Class riders promoting them? A zona is a hell of alot stronger then a xtp ever would be. Imo a best frame is a number of things, Strength. Cost. Durability. And how it rides, the zona rides beautifully its as cheap as chips and is strong as hell. If it had a koxx sticker on it, it'd be a hell of alot more popular. If you havent heard of any xtp's breaking you arent looking very far, dozens have snapped and a few echo teams have cracked at the brake mount. 1 Zona has snapped. The prototype which had completely different tubing. Bottom line. zona's are awesome
Hi marcus, Depending on how small you are im not sure if that stem would be such a great idea as it has a pretty long reach meaning you'll feel more stretched out on the bike, like i say it depends on how small you are. Another stem i would reccomend is the echo team stem, the reach isnt so long so it should feel abit nicer. Echo Team Stem
I did run a rear maxxis cc tyre up until friday. The cc was really good grip wise the extra grip was always there when needed but in some cases the grip was too much (Especially whilst riding places) so i changed to a white stripe monty tyre and i do prefer it lots, its much bouncier so i can do higher sidehops with it, it doesnt drag so i get a better take off for my gaps and the grip is perfect (I ride street so i dont really need much grip)
