    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Need info on 2 options.

    What happens with VAT and the price of the item?

    Thank you for your answers :)

    I do believe that this is the same people as SuperCycles

    So you could get hold of them that way.

    Wouldn't it be a bit weird to contact them that way? The frame is 299 quid at their site.

    "Hello, I would like a piece of information that would enable me to purchase your product 100 quid cheaper and thus make you less profit".

    Anyone with ebay account?

    I don't have an ebay account since I don't have a credit card.

    Could someone please ask onzaboy at http://cgi.ebay.com/Zona-Zenith-Trials-Fra...VQQcmdZViewItem

    is there any alternative(slower and cheaper) delivery service. I can't find his e-mail. :unsure:

    Shipping to Croatia is 60 quid which is a bit pricey. I don't care if the frame travels for weeks as long as it's cheap. :P

    I could also use information if they are willing to tag the package as a gift so I don't have to pay extra taxes and stugg.

    Thanks guys :D

    Right okay, firstly... i pointed out that it has a mech hanger fitment as well. So the people who want a verticle style mech can have one, and the rest of the world can use horizontal dropouts. I reckon thats the best way of having a rear dropout system for the sheer functionality of it.

    My hope skewer has about 4mm of skewer sticking out with my 10mm drop outs so i'd imagine it'd fit alright.

    And i didnt say the paint weighs 200grams, i said thats the apparant difference between them, 200 grams on paint is just silly.

    Dude, by yourself a dictionary, least i can spell adjustable. I was pointing out the fact that the 4 bolts will be exactly the same as mod bikes for adjustability, as their welded down too.

    Supports 160mm doesnt mean you can't have others does it? So i guess you don't know fully what your on about, same as i didnt know about the double butted welding stuff.

    Mine qr doesn't so that's why I wondered ;-)

    You stated colour difference as the only difference. Nevermind

    I should "by" myself a dictionary? Lol, oh the irony of making mistake there :D English isn't my mother tongue.

    You have to use an adaptor, unlike Simtra which has elegant solution to utilize maximum size rotor.

    Have you cooled off by now? :D

    How can you say its wank? have you ridden it? maybe it rides like a dream.

    Theres a lot of horizontal dropout lovers, especially street riders. So why arent they needed? Theres a mech hanger there too so whats the problem?

    Does the magura mount look adjustable? No, i thought not.. its welded down for christs sake, how you gonna adjust that?

    It says 14mm THICK dopouts, not 14mm axle width. so of course a normal QR skewer would work.

    The heavy version is powder coated and the light one is anodised, like most of the other things you've asked its actually mentioned in the original post.

    And where does it say it doesnt support a 8" disc? with the size of that dropout i'd imagine it could more than capably handle an 8" rotor.

    If it sounds harsh its because i'm in an irritable mood and you asked a load of questions that you could have answered yourself if you'd actually had some common sense and read the information about it properly.

    It seems wank design and idea. My oppinion. I love my vertical dropouts and chaintensioner.

    Horizontal dropouts aren't needed because it's more hassle to set up your brakes, wheel moves if you use quick release. And after a while, your chain is going to get slack. I hang out with street riders so I know they like it, thank you very much.

    Are you a bit slow or what? I meant adjusteable=possible to set up with that sort of rear end. Buy a dictionary.

    Dear God! 14mm*2 = 28mm as opposed to let's say Simtra's 10mm*2, that's what I meant. I know my qr skewer wouldn't fit.

    The paint weighs 200 grams? I thought maybe it has thicker downtube or something.

    Felix said it supports 160mm rotor and knowing his previous connections with BT he should know what's he talking about. It does sound weird, that's why I asked about it.

    I don't know what's gotten you so irritated, are you paid to spread good word about BT or what?

    I want these ingenious ideas explained better to me so I would feel inclined to buy it.

    I never believed I'd say this for a BT product but it's wank. (N)

    I believe horizontal droputs are not needed on a stock.

    Is magura even adjusteable on this? With 30mm moveable rear end.

    Still no integrated brake booster.

    14mm dropouts? Wil this be useable with quick release?

    What's the deal with light and "heavy" version?

    What size is this frame? What's the standover height?

    Is this made from U6 aluminium?

    Why doesn't it support 8" or 200m disc? 160mm is too weak for a stock.

    And finally what's the price in euros?

  15. Onza Tuf Guy Fork?

    Posted

    I'm probably getting a bit boring with all questions regarding forks but please bear with me :)

    Is Onza Tuf Guy fork good? Weight is acceptable, I'm interested are these forks strong and durable?

    I'm a fairly big, unsmooth guy with a phobia from breaking forks :$ so I would like to stay away from aluminum forks.

    yes - stretch your ham strings before and after every ride, the more you ride the shorter they get until they pull your back out of place and cause all sorts of trouble. other than that just upper body endurance weights and swimming. go for a big ride (or do a comp) and see which bits of your body dont work as well as the rest and build em up...

    catch me when i have more time and i'll do you a training rota if you want

    tom

    This is interesting and explains my problem perfectly. I'm having problems with ass to the grass squats, my back rounds when i pass parallel and this explaind why i have such a problem. Do you have any specific stretching routine to recommend?

  25. Wheelswitch Help?

    I'm not sure what's it called here, I'm reffering to the move were you rest your front wheel on the obstacle and then leap up and place your rear wheel where your front wheel was.

    I checked trashzen but what should I concentrate on the most and what is the best height to start learning this technique? I'm practicing on two pallets which are about 1 foot tall, I can pull the move, but as soon as my rear wheel lands I have to add a pedal kick in order to stay on the rear. Any advice what should I do to keep myself in backhop instead of starting pedalkicking?

    Thanks
