Is that true of the stock Zhi frames aswell? I've been thinking about getting one of them within the next couple of months or so. Oh noes.

I run 22-26

I ride a TA26, and I love it. I couldn't compare it to any other frames/geos though, as I've only really ridden my mates T-rex, and I much prefer my Base. I would definitely recommen a long-ish stem on it, I was running a really tiny one (can't remember the measurements,) and I recently got a 120mm x 17 Pazzaz and some Zoo risers, and it feels a lot better now.

Weather permitting, I might havae a walk to tarty and get some new bars and a new stem, and possibly a t-shirt. But they are to be saved til Christmas =(

I'm running a DX32/Hansventure (2.4) on my TA26. I don't think going any wider than 38mm for a rim would be advisable, and I can JUST about fit the Hansventure in.

I'd quite like to do that ^ (run just a trials gear and one for getting about on,) but without the shifter. Would it be possible just to have a tensioner, and the two gears, and just move the chain with your hand when you wanna change the gear? I've heard of someone doing it, but I have no idea how.

number 22 is a bloody cracker. brilliant pictures

The helmet looks pretty cool, it just needs to be a different colour. That frame looks bloody beautiful though, whereabouts in the UK can you get them from?

The black one looks pretty swish, besides the V-Mounts, and the downtube on the silver one is pretty nice, but 0 BB, or BB drop? Might not be too great. Is there a spec for them yet?

Aaah, this is well good. I can't wait to see the new frame/s. I just hope they don't make them with the brake mounts for 25" rear wheel.

I run a smooth DX-32 and v-fly pads. Brilliant in the dry, tiniest bit of water howver, and I have no brake.

that's the most beautiful set up I've seen in my life, my DREAM setup. How much did that set you back?!

Crikey, I run 22-24. Would this be equivalent to 22-20 if I was running the smaller sprocket at the back?

How is something as helpful as Trashzen possibly holding the sport back ?! It's not like it says 'Just pick up your bike and climb over that wall,' instead of telling you pretty much every way of getting up/over said wall there is, which it practically does. And I think the wikipedia idea would be ace too. Perhaps instead of being able to edit articles, just add your own explanations of whatever move instead?

thats beautiful. white rims would look shit hot.

Just found this if its of any use to anyone.

I'm not too sure. I figured 375 sounded about right, because I can only just fit the Hansventure in, and I got 1020 when I measured

1020 wb with straight forks Zero BB rise Chainstays, roughly 375. Im using a DX32 with a Hansventure 2.4, and theres about 5mm clearance with the seat tube.

same here. it definitely didn't feel like 40-50+ wb though.

I've never actually cried, but Man On Fire made me well up. The Green Mile too.

I'm gonna be getting one next week, I can't wait. Should feel beautiful, going from a shimano shit-fest of a hub.

I go out on my own, just in my street practising pedal kick and pivots and whatnot, but if I go for a proper ride, I always go with friends. It's not safe going out on your own round here really.

So is this just the 19" Ronnies that are unreliable? Or does the same go for 26"?

Possible shitty re-spray to disguise it?
