Stan Shaw Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Bike looks amazing stan, see you've gone back to burns ? Any reason ? My Tryall cranks were pretty battered and quite old so I wanted some new cranks and I've had that Ti Bash lying around for about a year so seemed a good choice! stans a weight weenie innit....thats what im reckoning You Scottish basher The burns including bash are the same weight as the Tryalls inc bash/sprocket I like! Whats happend to the other 1000's ov ozonys you've had before. I've only had 2 Ozonys frames, both the 2007 model. They are both still going wow that bike looks very nice, it is for sure new page in trials, slick tire, that should be interesting. bike is too light , cant wait for the movie, and..... one question, why did vou make movie only when you build new bike? you should do it more often I have been to edit some videos for ages, but having problems getting footage to play etc. I have around 2/3hrs footage Cheers for the comment though!

Stan Shaw Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Rode natural at the weekend with the slick tyre on and found it really good! The rocks were pretty grippy like, but it still impressed me. One thing I love about the tyre is its so stable and does not squirm or fold at all. Really liking it! Also now its worn in some more I think its more grippy, the compound is quite soft. It will be shit in the wet I reckon, but for dry it seems fine so far.

walker Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 How much weight do you save by cutting out the second wall of your rear rim? And is it prone to buckling afterwards? Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Are these slik try-all's going to be made available for us to buy? So are these sliks just prototypes or are they actually available to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 So are these sliks just prototypes or are they actually available to buy? They will be available to buy pretty soon! How much weight do you save by cutting out the second wall of your rear rim? And is it prone to buckling afterwards? Andrew Saved 90grams. My wheel is still pretty dam true. Had that rim for about 6 weeks at least now. Its weaker, but Its still fine I reckon as you don't do massive drops etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Seriously impressed... Come back to look at this again and again. Can't believe they didn't keep the 72.5 headangle are you noticing the difference much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Tis really nice Stan ... reeeeal nice. I actually found an old tyre lying about and had a try out of this front slick effort - and to be honest - its pretty good .. I saved over 100g just cutting the sideknobs of my maxxis highroller (the middle ones were completely to the casing !!) so it must be a pretty light tyre now ... It grips really well on street stuff, and is not too bad in the rain either ... The only downside is balance beams / railride things are alot lot harder/scarier. Also the steering is super wierd - as if the bike wont go in a straight line - it always wants to turn or lean over ... not 100% on the drilling stan but hey - why not i guess ?

Yeah I agree on the slick front, I think there pretty good and most people will instantly right it off, but when you try it, its ok. On the drilling of my frame. I probably wouldn't do it again considering how much effort it was. I've never modified a frame before and had to do it at least once I guess. Stan.

dave33 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 how much weight did you save from drilling the frame, and whats that tensioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 whats that tensioner? Tensioner's a modified 74kingz. There are some pictures somewhere in the 'homemade tensioner' thread. Edit: Pretty sure it's similar to AliC's: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantham Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ace idea with the front tyre stan, what pressure do you run it at? seems to be a little rounded. Can see it working great on the streets, Smooth surface to give a larger surface contact area and therefore more friction, all about the tribology lol. whats it like on natural stuff?

walker Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 im sure i've heard this agument on this forum before, so i dont want to go off the topic of the thread, obviously sports cars have wider tyres so they get more grip, but i was just going from F=friction co-efficient*R where theres no mention of surface area.

Stan Shaw Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Right after having the tyre for a few weeks and ridden it on most surfaces I can say that for street I am not going back to a treaded tyre. The slick is awesome on street. The majority of people have slated the tyre saying it won't grip this and that, but it grips fine and it is super stable, no squirm what so ever. The other weekend I rode some really dusty rocks and at first it was difficult, but after an hour or so I forgot I even had a slick tyre. I think a tyre with tread may have been slightly better but not massively. Obviously the tyre isn't going to perform to well on wet stuff or mossy rocks. I think tread is needed there. Before you slag it off at least try it for a few rides. I know Ali C is getting on well with his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
