Mark W Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I kinda doubt that the change of material is really going to somehow overcome the design flaw of those pedals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSE Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 The ZHI factory has sent me some photographs of unfinished pre-production models.Manufacture is well under way, lead time 20 – 30 days. They are making every effort to get these to dealers as quickly as possible. Full build options will be available; this answers previous ZHI disc hub questions. No doubt the full builds will arrive here ex brakes, leaving customers to make their own choice, although I can supply with Hope if required. The last image is of the front end of a stock frame.More details as they arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously people copying it are just doing it for the look and hopeing the fact monty did it will help sell there frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Front end of that frame looks great, though the guides look a little poorly positionedAlso, for those interested, the 26" forks on Trialsman are 945g (that's the vee version, in white ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously people copying it are just doing it for the look and hopeing the fact monty did it will help sell there frame.Monty did do it for a reason. But do not under estimate the Chinese Mr YAO ZHI is working very hard on the frame side of things. I think that hump might just be more than a looking good gimmick it probably will be helping the overall strength of the frame.Tom A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSE Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Connecting the various structural parts of Trials frame together with straight tubes gives an obvious weight advantage as less metal used. Trials frames are not all about weight saving, the feed back and ride experience is very important, using curved top and down tubes has a huge effect on the feel of a frame, why should Monty have a monopoly on that concept? ZHI are committed to improving their products without pushing prices out of reach of the average rider. Many have been left high and dry when their high end double disc frame has failed shortly after the warranty period has expired, in future they will have the option to assemble a new bike using a ZHI and their existing parts. I am considering offering customers that send me their out of warranty cracked/broken double disk frame a discount, (regardless of frame age), if they replace it with a ZHI, are any of you in that situation?

craigjames Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 They dont have much adjustment do they? if your frame is built right you dont need much adjustment. the old zhi v adaptors didnt have much but they work fine on my echo frame.

Bigman Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I like the way that they have tried to get the vee pivot as close to the lower 4 bolt mount as possible!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I like the way that they have tried to get the vee pivot as close to the lower 4 bolt mount as possible!Look pretty tidy, though I can't help but think that if there's not going to be any lateral adjustment then a little more material could be removed in certain areas without really compromising strength by a significant amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
