Stan Shaw Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Looks awsome Stan! What sort of psi do you have to run in that front tyre?! Cheers! I think I've got around 20psi in it, maybe more. Its slightly harder than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 The compound seems pretty soft! The main area of the tyre is just slightly thicker than the sidewalls. It weighs in at 591g which is forkin light! A slick tyre will take ages to wear anyway as the pressure/grip is spread around the surface rather forced onto a couple of knobbles. Not tried one on the rear, as I think the rear tyre is worked much harder and in different ways so it needs the knobbles. I suppose it could be worth a shot, but I'm not sure. Yeah I can't see it being as effective out back, but could make for an interesting fast paced street session at high pressures Silly light, keep us informed of the wear rate!

Tom Booth Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 At harder pressures surely it would be brill for the park lads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Looks awesome. For some reason I love the way there is so much prototypage/newly released stuff on there: pads, cylinders, tyre, bars, forks, frame and tensioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Shaw Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 No one has spotted the patented Ali C elastic band on the lever yet Its a cool little trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Also noticed that you've cut every other outside knobble off on the rear tyre, but only half cut them off, you haven't cut them flush. Is there a reason for this? Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Haha, oh yeah! I was really surprised as to how much difference this actually made when I felt Ali's at Prawn's place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a reason for this? Andrew Not really, there is only around 1mm of tread left on most of them Tis quite difficult to cut flush.

Andrew Smith Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 oh my god! that is amazing really nice but what is the geo on the frame and what did your canniball feel like length wise compared to your old MBK if you don't mind me asking as i like the feel of my MBK but i am bored of the look of it so i am thinking of buying a ozonys canniball Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I was wondering what was on your lever but I didnt want to seem stooopid. I dont understand what it does? Makes the lever easier to pull, so it feels amazing! You can adjust the feel too by moving the elastic band further down the lever... Try it and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) doesn't it stop it returning properly though?? Edit, and elastic bands perish pretty quickly, so unless uve got a load in ur pocket... but then thats all extra weight! Oh, and have you had a hair cut yet, think of the weight loss!

I am not sure if my forks are affecting it though, they are really old lol. 1100 WB 385mm rear end +40mm BB 72degree headangle. I think thats roughly right. doesn't it stop it returning properly though?? Nah returns fine The spring behind the piston is pretty powerful.

King C Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Weaklingzzzz. You wanna beef your fingers up by doing some simple exercises. Check Ben Travis' latest vid for an example.
