Bearded Midget Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 square/triangular tubing looks pretty sweet seeing as its abit different to most frames. its almost like the fiesta advert, this doesnt look like its moving when its still, it looks bloody light!

Lambton Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Bike looking good, I wanna see a video...including the 57" tap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 oh my god! this is the BEST bike I have ever had! Even better than the proto.Its VERY stiff, the box section tubing and long weld between stays makes the back end very rigid, the front is also very stiff from the tubing profiles.Strength also seems very good. My proto was put through its paces, missed taps to downtube, missed sidehops to chainstays, hooks, harsh taps, big drops. Not a single dent or crack (but plenty of scratches).The geo is slightly different, mainly the longer chainstays. I have been wanting to try out a higher bb bike with longer stays for a while. You get the advantage of the clearance you get with a higher bb, but not the pogostick effect you get.I have found the longer stays helps loads with taps as it keeps my weight forward when landing and stops my back wheel looping out when my front hits the wall. I did a 57" (almost vert) tap that I have been trying for years on my first ride on this stinger!Sidehops also seem good, I am not sure the exact reason, but I managed to sidehop a rock at my local place that I have not been able to do since I broke my ankle.I am loving the vees also, best brakes ever, and yes, one of my levers is drilled out loads lol, it was on my racing bmx (7.8kg bmx!)Videos and pics to come soon hopefully (when the weather gets remotely good!)

r2wtrials Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Looks lovely....Does it need the rear brake booster ... frame flex or v brake post flex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Looks amazing, love the tubing shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Looks lovely....Does it need the rear brake booster ... frame flex or v brake post flex?Its plenty stiff without the booster, but it increases the brake holding power 10 fold with a booster.rear brake is:Shimano XT armsAvid SD& leverTNN LGV padsSalsa carbon boosterShimano SP5 cableOnza 4-bolt adaptorsWorks REALLY well!Also, don't let the longer stays put you off, its great on the rear wheel, it rides like a +30mm bike.

Duncy H Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I can't come over this weekend, but maybe next?Do it! I am pretty sure you won't regret it. The bike looks great, what is the weight difference between vee/magura/disc. Am I correct in thinking that maguras are lighter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
