hi, i'm looking after a new bike brand which i can import to israel. i ride on planet-x and echo. echo wont reply my mails, and px allready has a dealer.

the one is the zhi 26 trials frame from china. i need info about how good is it, geo, warranty and does some one own it? is it as good as zoo or echo (another nice brand from china)? the second one is : saracen. any new 2006 stock frames for trials? thanks!

I'm not talking about bmx, i am talking about that manifesto trick: 180 spin-jump from rail to rail. on a trials-bike only.

if you are talking about 180's... i need to know, how to do 180 + hop (like from rail to rail , with front wheel leading, leech style) from manifesto. its like a 180+gap but in the same move. is it done with a kick+turn 90 +leap+turn another 90? i know how to do a rear wheel 180 spin. its way easy. the 180 spin with front wheel first is harder. i can clear only few c"m and i cant leap far like leech does from rail to rail. ha, and it's made from a track stand.

How can i get in tuch with this DENG dude? i hope that its not from the echo site because they dont reply. I work in a shop that wants to import a good trials bike firm, and as an echo es4r owner i know they are good. but they dont reply... why?

this is what i do: once in a while i switch parts to make my bike different. this is how i dont get bored. front disk, front v's, higher fork... this week i changed back to my old echo es4r. the trurh is that, after 8 months on a planet x alibongo (wich helped me to learn side hops and better on the natural stuff) this frame can fly! its 3 years old but still in a mint condition! side hops arn't easy as the alibongo, but gapping and bunny hopping is way better (i'm 5'6). untill 2 years ago i was the only trials rider in israel, but now i have 4-5 friends that started trials and thats good. winter is not too long... wish i had more time to ride... in trials you cant get bored. its dynamic, and you allways improve. other way of not getting bored is going to an other town, other locations. have a nice week...

who is deng? is he a bike builder? is this is a factory?

the problem with bt is that i dont think that they have rims for trials... we need a company that has it all. or maybe i'm wrong?

Hi, I work in a well known and big bike shop in israel . we are looking after a good name in the trials frame brands. my first shot was on echo. nice frames. but they dont reply my mails. is GU, adamant and zoo are the same owner? will they reply? How about BT? We dont want a too much expensive frames like koxx, because most of the people cant afford it. Any ideas? we need to work with someone who will reply us fast and are easy to work with. thanks.

hi, get the old type(pre 2005) if you can! i think its better. good luck.

what kind of paint did he use? is it auto paint or plain cheap spray?

thanks mates!!! i live in tel aviv, which is very nice, as you see , if you'r more into street trials (like me). its perfect. and if its too damm hot you can forget it all and jump to the sea.. if some times, you will visit in israel for any reason and dont bring your bike, give me an early notice so i can rebuild my echo as a second bike, and take you to a personal crazy session in tel aviv!!! :huh:

yea, you bet.. it's realy a hot summer in here. its too hot to ride some-times. but i guess its better than riding on the wet.

it took place in tel-aviv , at the beach, today. :huh:

haa (Y) ... it's in my house allready.

6 months ago it was red , but now it has gone red-pink... what can i do?

in bleeding process, (Y) just place the lever in a higher level then the pistons and that is the way to get it mate!

i'm 28 and going strong! i started too late ...mm... i think... i think that when you are young you can take much more risks and dare more than an older guy.

i will not stop untill there will be at least 20 trials riders in israel so i could make the first comp of trials in israel. 3 years ago they didnt even know what trial is so i'm in the right direction. :D

ZIONTRIALS stands for the first israely trials demo team that got sponserd, made shows and demos across the country and brought the sport of bike-trials to all of the major bike events in israel. the team also made shows in hospitals for kids with cancer and also a show wich was a part of an event that razed money for abused childrens. thicknes is 9.5 m"m and there is a 5 bolt version as well. i can make every design you want including your name on it. team ziontrials:

this one is made for 22 tooth . it got big because its 4 bolt pattern and its larger in diameter then 5 bolt compact drive. if i made it smaller in diameter the bolt area will be in risk.

i know some one who have a work-shop and cnc machine, so i gave him a plan and this is what came out of it. i made it for begginers or low budget riders who dont have the money for new cranck-set and still want to use the old four bolt arm. its smaller then a regular 32 tooth ring, and its 9.5 m"m thick. it will sell for 27 pounds. what do you think? if you have any idea for changes i will love to ear it!

i use a compact drive 5 bolt type middleburn bashring on race-face northshore dh cranck arms.

but tell me if it did work. just for the sport... :(

lets say i got used to 24/17 ratio, how changing to 24/15 will affect my gaps and overall skills?
