  1. Uhm... it still didn't help me:( As I was considering buying second bike - 24" Street moves were never been factor which get me 'aroused' as much as specific trial moves like all the time jumping up etc. So I should pick long bike, but furter more it would be nice to link street and trials moves. it would look just much more impressive, sexual and fully pro The last thing is perfect lenght for matching humans height, which would be for moi, I guess something between 1065-1085mm WB:( I think that as it will be possibility I will try both of them, although I would prefer choosing perfect size before checking both lenghts. I'm telling bolocks (sp?), but uhh...
  2. Hi, I've been recently watching biketrials market and seen that we are going back to short frames. Everybody loves them now, even if they didn't love them compared to long ones. People are enlighted, although before change they were riding short bikes. Why is that?? What are main pro's and con's of short frames? What is better to ride urban/street uci style? Isn't it long bike? As short frames are easier to run on natural, because you don't need as much power to throw the bike. Taps are easier on long bike, bunnyhops on short one, what about rest of techinques? I'm asking as I have to decide what to get. Firstly I've been thinking about czar ivan, but decided not to get it. Now I'm considering Echo Hifi and Control (but here is the problem short or long??). Problem just blows my mind, so I thought I could start debate about which is better for mainly uci street riding (or however how to call it). I know that it's mostly our preference which is better for you or me, but people are changing to short frames due to some argument. What is the content of that argument? At first I've been riding Mielec frame with wb 1050mm now I'm running koxx lb 1100 and really like it but I feel that it could be probably a bit shorter. But don't know what 'a bit' means I'm 5'7-8" so quite small. Cheers!
  3. I like it although tra did better;P What happened to your Czar?? Which of them you like most?
  4. disgusting, but maybe it rides like a dream... that's the most important, not how it looks like.
  5. Nice! How it rides? How tall are you?
  6. I've heard that guys from UCI changed rules and now you can run even single speed. But i'm not sure about that! Just read that on Polish forum
  7. Do you use tablet?? My bro also do this kind of shizzle. It's great to watch him creating amazing drawings etc. his works - www.m4te0.deviantart.com
  8. I really, really like it. Ace product! I guess I would buy one, if i didn't already buy team. Although in all I think that frame looks amazing, I don't like downtube of chainstays, just looks cheap. I would prefer to see there massive CNC element;)
  9. Ok, I want to sell my bike in near future and just don't know how much should I want for it. Here are the pics and spec: Frame: koxx levelboss 26" 1100 headset: try-all Fork: Koxx Forxx F. wheel: Mavic X517, novatec hub, dt spokes, try-all tire R. wheel: shimano xt hub, try-all 47 rim, dt spokes, try-all tire Cranks: older Echo (the one before the black ones:) Handlebar: Echo Stem: Echo 90mm/5* F. brake: Magura Louise with 8" Rotor R. brake: Hs-33 with custom made pads (awesome) Pedals: Author (great and quite expensive, not on the picture) Bike's condition is great. And I'd may split up the bike, but how much would I get for frame?
  10. maxxis highroller better then try-all? I guess ST or SR??? Try-all is super grippy though How long does it take to wear out for maxxis??
  11. depends on your style and preference. I'm smaller than you and got LB1100. Really like it. Damn, it's 5:10AM and I'm back from party and do what?? I'm browsing the trials-forum... getting really crazy:P
  12. http://www.bikemielec.com/bm_eng/pro4.html The CNC near seat tubes looks the same:)
  13. Hello guys! I've been reading forum throughly and I got curious what does 'SHIZZLE' mean. We can often see it in almost every topic. As my curiosity has been growing I decided to find the meaning in the Internet. I typed in google "define:shizzle" and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shizzle 'Shizzle is a rap slang word for "sure", coined by The Gap Band and popularized by rap star (and gap band sampler) Snoop Dogg. It has been adopted by several rappers and reggae deejays and is commonly used as: "fo' shizzle" as in, "for sure", often paired with "my nizzle" as in, "my nigga". (...)' So do we meet with misinterpreting? For e.g. here: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....1310&hl=shizzle 'here is the shizzle' and then the guy writes his parts for sale. If we will like to translate it with wikipedia meaning it would sound smth like 'here is the sure'. I guess he didn't mean that! So does it mean parts?? I've been thinking that yea in our community it does mean parts, but now I don't think so as I'm downloading movie 'curbshizzle.wmv'. What is your opinion?? What do you mean by shizzle when you use it?
  14. My type is: Frame: Czar Ivan Fork: Echo hifi Wheels: pink chris king hubs with echo rims F. brake: Hope trial (?) R. brake: actually no choice here:P only hs-33 cranks: tensile uci I'm really close to it though:)
  15. Hmmm I guess that the best compromise would be to use monty 125/25* without spacers:). What do you think?? What is the best lenght to get?? I'm kinda bored with my lb1100. I would pick something shorter, but won't it feel to short?
  16. Hi Ok, I know that it was few times, but although I read most of topics about, it didn't solve my problem. What my point is: which stem will be the best for czar ivan, which I wanna buy. I'm considering echo hifi low or high stem. I'm currently running koxx lb 1100 - will it be big improvment in comfort after changing frame?? I'm 5'7-8" (173cm) and riding with echo control stem 90mm/5* with few spacers under it (smth like 4x0.5mm spacers) Cheers
  17. This is my bike - Koxx LB1100:) Lovin' every part in it
  18. I'm really scaried of rails and quite big ups on walls which are narrow, scaried of faceplanting or sth:| And can't do bigger sidehop then 36" i'm terrified even of backhopping next to wall:| I can't work it out:( These things are really pissing me off
  19. i'm currently building up chris king (with all these expansive upgrades <_< ) on new echo rim with dt alpine spokes... hope it will work well. I'm not happy from my shimano hub on try-all rim
