  1. sounds a little bit ZOO! or Adamant or....etc.
  2. f**king the same as a frame I have been trying to produce since january. almost equal. Not EXACT
  3. how can I get in touch with you?
  4. As you can see, in all those well known moves the wheel is pulling the brake out of the frame, and not pushing it into the chainstays.... well done gaps are thought to fall using the wheel the same way (usually we fall in the border). Drops and other moves don't really use the brake too much. I think that if the rider mostly goes up (sidehops to rear wheel, tapping, bunnyhop, etc) he makes his rear wheel to pull the break out. If the rider dedicate his time to make huge gaps and doesn't fall in the border, and making very big drop gaps, he might be pushing the brake into the frame. BY THE WAY, THE PROBLEM ABOUT THE DIFFICULTIES TO SET UP THE BRAKE ARE SOLVED. THANKS
  5. When I put them upside down, I was thinking that riding trials you, usually, us the wheel backwards... I mean, you climb something, and your brakes are "shit themselves out of the frame". Danny Comas told me you should put your rear MTB tires backwards when using them to trials, I thought it made sense.
  6. I didn't really understand the modifications you are tempted to do in the lever.... I'm making stress analysis... I will test it better, to know well.... and, yes... I'm planning to do them.
  7. That's great.... I was there organizing, and it WAS good, not only because that was the first time that riders of that level came to Chile, but because they two are just not-humanly great riders. thanks for sharing them.... may I ask who sent them to you?
  8. ooooh, mati.... posteala en nuestro foro también.... excelente lo del cambio de pintura... hasta me gusta ahora.... SUERTE ALLÁ, NOS VEMOS. Che-Gerr.
  9. I was thinking in eliminating the tensioner, and getting a lighter hub. hehehe DH rear tube??... I use a common one.
  10. get a SS frame of those, 116mm rear hub and get it to 9Kg.... it's very nice ... I'd like that bike in my home hahaha.
  11. come on!!, how could we respect ANY company if the one who's innovating is too expensive for almost all, and the one who makes them cheap is copying the other??? The ZHIs and other Chinese brands are made for amateurs, not just "weight weening". I like them, I do not like copying, but I can not afford a Monty because they are expensive and they break easyer. ZHI forks are the same as ZOO, and URBAN.... PULO!
  12. Coca Cola, Pitch juice, sugar with water.... I have tryed all of them, anything sweet enough to leave all sticky would work... anyway, tar is better so far
  13. Just change them..... Chinese ball bearings are crap, get some Japanese.
  14. If you don't, actually, think in the move you are going to make... It means that it is well absorved, that is natural to do it.... and when needed it is going to show up itself. When you are nervous you think in everything at the same time.... that's why you have to be able to do it without thinking.... in a competition, some people can't really think what they are going to do next. when it is something new, I think that I'm going to break my neck, that my brakes are going to fail... I can't do what I wrote above.
  15. with very good brakes you can make some mistakes without kill yourself. in taps, or sidehops to rear, you can finish hanging of a border.... ant a bad brake wont work. if you do big big gaps, it's easyer to do them with better brakes, I'm afraid to do gaps with my brake like shit.
  16. drilled... cheaper, lighter.... GREAT ENOUGH
  17. same factory..... THEY ARE UPDATING THE WEB PAGES.
  18. trialmil

    My Zhi

    What gearing are you using?? GREAT BIKE THERE.... love the hubs.
  19. Great pics there, I hope I could go to KD some day. What happened with Benito's hair??!??
  20. YES. I have one, with 180mm rotor (used to have 160mm), and a crap of a lever.... and it works great
  21. it's another Yao's brand.... I think they are great.
  22. I think it would be great, and it could work. they took it out of X-Games because of beeing so "slow". But in olympics, there are slower disciplines. I'd watch it on the TV.
  23. since I live in southamerica, and Try-All, Eno's, etc etc etc are kind of expensive here, I was wondering what you think about ACS freewheels. I want to put those with 36 engangement points as a FFW, so.... tell me what you think.
  24. Analize the drawing again... I think that's brilliant, but maybe not to be used in BikeTrials
