I'm basing this on memory alone.
Wheelbase: 1025mm
BB Rise: 0mm
Chainstay length: 390mm (ish)
Head angle: 74 deg
Not sure about the chainstay length, but it sticks in my mind.
(this topic just reminded me about my avatar..........)

For some reason TODY-E just PM'd me a link to the vid, I'm guessing he meant to send it to the people who havn't watched it.........
-
I thought he was on the koxx 109 ffw? Might be wrong, couldn't really see it clear enough.
-
Out of curiosity, what DVD is it from?
-
oh ok.. why's it on YT then ?
Someone uploaded it? Does not take a genious to work that one out.
-
Sorry.. but why post a thread so early?
He's excited?
Looking good man, zoo brothers init!
Keep the forks, just maybe change the zoo decals. Or just leave it as it is and ride the feck out of it!
-
If you just ride mainly in the dry, the dmr tyres are a good choice, used mine for ages with no problems.
-
If its a small hairline crack you could always drill a VERY small hole to help prevent the crack from spreading any further.
Failing that, if its only a small amount of area that needs welding you could get that done, but I wouldn't ride it for too long welded as the welding will make the material more brittle.

A tip for you.
At west wales bike trials they've got all of the obsticles on pallets, so you can use a truck to move them about easily. Nice idead if you want a bit of variation.
-
My mate had his stolen the same way, he was on his way back to reading from bristol!
Had a planet-x stolen from the bike carrdidge. Apparntly the train company wouldn't pay out.
Also, train companys don't like you locking your bikes up as it holds them up (although you could get in the carridge, close the door so the train can depart then walk through the guards room, but thats against their rules.....).

why are there such a shit selection of 36h rims?
I found that. The trials market seems to have moven away from 36 spoke wheels, maybe its due to weight fanatics. I still run a 36h rear, try all hub and echo rim. Quite a heavy wheel but its stiff and strong.

The reason we have new members chat is to avoid threads like this clogging the forum.
Are you going to correct me?
No, the new members section is for new members who are likely to ask the same questions over and over without using the search function, like "whats the best brake pads/forks/skin tight jeans?". I've never seen this question pop up before.
Maybe through the registration process it explains to you what the text under the avatar is, but if it does not i don't see an explenation elsewhere.

Making a daft thread like this is enough to warrant de-validation if you ask me
Someone does one thing wrong and they should be de-validated? You numpty.
He only asked a question, he's got an answer. Maybe he could have put it in Chit Chat but it was a valid question.
-
Nice chickens man, bet you get some right beastly eggs!!
Dam right! You need to see what those ducks can lay down mind!
-
Would I be right in thinking you just bought that 36h H135 hub from us, or was that just a coincidence? I remember seeing something going out to Caerphilly recently...
I did buy a few bits and bobs from you, just not the hub. Had the echo rim, bb, cranks, bashguard and a few other bits.
So you were half right lol,

Cool looking bike
...Except the bars. Flat bars just look absolutely horrific, to me.
Cheers.
Their the only bars I had, but I seem to get on with them alright. Eventually get some trialtechs on there so I've got the same on the 24" and stock. Easier to go from one to the other.
-
Oooooo I am liking it. I have been looking at that frame for my next one. Is it as stiff in the rear as it looks? How do you like it so far? Looks sweet.
Feels quite stiff to me, but I havn't really ridden many others. I don't think its as stiff as the older pitbulls.
nice one
Cheers, I'll take good care of that hub
-
Some of the bits I already had
Frame was £220
All the other bits came to about £400 ish

After riding 24" for about 4 years on and off, I decided to get a 26" again, but one that had more than a 1040 WB.......
Specs are
Zoo Pirahna Long
Pashley forks (with matching hoodie!!!)
Try all BB
Try all Cranks
Echo SL FW
Because bashguard (i think)
DMR V8's
Try all H rear laced to an echo urban (36h)
Hope front laced to a megamo front rim
Brisa bar and stem
Closest I could get to a Zoo..........
The rocks I was going to ride are going in brambles, so had to settle for a world record drop.........
Rides a bit different to the Leeson!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
As above, the 2.4" rubber queen is pushing it! My mates got the 2.4", felt really nice on the rear but pinch puncture resistance was rubbish!
Plus narrow tyres on wide rims feel weird.....
-
Some stuff in there but not much.
Why not get a 36 h rim? (i know the choice is shite to be honest).
Got an echo urban, seems fine to me!

Hi Martin,
I've been dealing with a guy from Austria recently, bought a hub off him.
I'll send him a message now, point him towards here.

And that's a burly white industries freewheel. Just by those three pictures alone, you should be able to gather which one is definitely a bit more "qualified" for trials. The contact surface area alone trounces the crap out of the WI. Even IF they used inferior materials, it would likely be stronger due to that fact alone.
In anycase, those picture alone should suffice for any sort of "doubt compared to tried and true trials parts". If you people would whole heartedly trust a freewheel that's OBVIOUSLY inferior, and are close minded enough even with proof of pictures for comparison, there really is no point in debating this.
Sorry, I think your the close minded one! How is anybody meant to determine which is better? Its just a picture you can't tell shit from it. I cant see how the white industries freewheel is "OBVIOUSLY" inferior.
A few people question the hub for use in proper trials as it has not been tested, and you start defending it like its your baby! Fan boy?

I'm a fan of percussive maintenance myself.
