I have a nice GU booster , NEW £18 posted if your interested ? oh yeh black. could strip it to match the bike though.
nice bike ...
Cheers just got a zhi booster today locally though, feels excellent
Yea my gearing was pretty easy on the zebdi....24-21, bout the same as 22-19.
Had a well good ride today! def getting a lower stem though
Love the bike though, taps, wheels swaps, gaps, all so easy! I do miss big bunny hops to manuals though

2 months?
Yea i'm keeping the stem for now so i can swap n play, just not sure on the height yet. but the zoo bars are looking a good bet

Got my gu recently,cheers to BAZZA (frame) and tartybikes for most of the bits! My last bike was a zebdi so im still learning the long bike its so different! Not as bad as i thought it'd be though, had a good feeling about the frame & I was right love the high bb! though i'm getting a lower stem, just feels abit high for me.
Anyone recommend the best booster?
Running 20 x 17 gearing, harder than what i'm used to but i like it, is that quite hard gearing?
And finally....the onza carbon bars im borrowing are cracked, so........which bars? They gotta be 31.8 risers, anything from tartys really, the zoo have my vote at the moment, opinions please as I've only ever really had azonics
Cheers

Its all built but needs gear ratio/chain line and bb sorting, chain line looks like it'll be fine on 128mm long as the sprockets around the middle/outside of the free hub, mines on the inside so my chainlines poorly, but yea my crank arms are too close to the cylinders, got about 2mm
Ordered a truvativ giga pipe from tartys today, i think most bb's do 68 or 73mm shells, 73 just gives a bit more tyre clearance/wider cnc yoke etc.

Built my gu long up today can manual it pretty easy, havent tried getting it right up in the hook position though, i have 130x30 hi fi stem & onza risers.
All practice i suppose! being tall helps too, but yea angling the bars back will help alot

Cheers people, gu is half done will be back soon
And little nicholas dale......... buy some teeth

Didnt try it again my back was totally f**ked after that, theyre the thinnest bendiest flexiest nastiest rails ive ever touched, last rail bounced me past the bench lol

Was 1 of 2, and it bloody hurt my back and arse
LEON

how?
Well its all on one side of the bike, can bend/snap chainrings, bend bb axles, hub axles, f**k up freehubs, My bmx is a great example ,lovely

I'll use worn down pads if i have to
Leon

Got a ronnie/reggie rear (which ever is bigger) wide but not huge like the koxx ones, cheers
Leon
-
Do i need a wide one? I've only got a rac face 118mm, obviously crank arm/brake was never an issue on the zebdi.
I'm also running a middle burn bash with 24t ring, anyone know from experience if i'll have problems?

i jus wanna see "A" gu
Leon

i'm quite poor so it'll have to be a new A2 or a 2nd hand something else
I wanna be sending cash out by no later than friday so come on people!
Leon
-
I'm about 6ft 1, so im lookin at the long versions, tarty bikes is out of A2's and typhoons
Leon
-
Thought about an ashton but decided I wanna be either one or the other, full on long bike or full on short, I've never given long a chance until now, cant wait
Leon
-
yea i know it wont bunnyhop/manual etc the way i want it to, doing it for the gaps n sidehops really, feel to limited on a short bike, stuck on 7ft gaps and 40" sidehops

Hi, not sure who ricky is, i know gav on here's got an adamant, im rarely in southend though.
I reckon i ride would help yea, but chances are it'd be a way different set up from what i'd have, in my 10 years of riding i've only used riser bars so anything flat-ish just makes me cry
LEON
-
I will be having azonics still unless they really feel wrong, ive just never ridden a standard bb long frame and liked it, ive tried koxx,echo,bt, ok they werent my ideal set ups but they didnt even feel close.
If i really hate it i can just swap it for a zero
LEON
-
Yea i realise i'll need the higher bar n stem because of the bb, i suppose I can try diff front ends and give it time, then again i might hate it
Leon
-
Do you think its possible to learn to like it? Im coming from a loooong line of orange zeros and zebdis, never had a long bike, and to be hones i hate the long low bikes with long stems, flat bars etc,I'm just drawn to these 26" mods though, i fancy something totally different. ive just been watching alot of damon watson and tunnicliffe and I have the urge to try 1, feel free to offer me your frames too
Leon

Im after a new frame,stock, narrowed it down to adamant a2 long and gu typhoon long, i fancy the high bb lot, whats the difference between the 2? Im looking at a 2nd hand typhoon at the mo, if he doesnt get back to me i'll be buying the a2 from select bikes next week, opinions etc please, as well as bar & stem recommendations, and no im not gonna be riding it like my past bikes

Need A Sprocket- 17t
in Trials Chat

Can anyone recommend a good 17T rear sprocket? Splined for a stock, every one ive seen either goes up to 16t or from 18 up
I dont fancy paying £35 for a king kog, anyone know? Must be the long toothed bmxy type (not made for shifting) and preferably have the wide base so it doesnt ruin my freehub body, cheers
