Cmfitchett Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey guys, Currently riding the diamondback tekiya and after reading around I've noticed the frames broke on ablot of people so I'm gonna prepare for what's probably to come. So using the large amount of free time I have I thought I'd go on tarty and look at 26" frames. From what I saw the best reletivly cheap frame I saw was the ZOO! Piranha, just got a couple of questions about it; What's better for a beginner short or long? Will it fit with all my other parts? Is it strong enough for a beginner who will probably crash and bash around a lot? Cheers, Callum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Styles Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 you will have no problems with strengh with that frame!! most parts should still fit, but not 100%sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 If you want to know if your parts will fit, you should probably tell us what parts you have... it's only really brakes that have compatibility issues. you got hs33 on your bike at the moment?

No man, Tektro V-brakes that came with the bike, but im strongly thinking of just upgrading the Calipers on my front and rear wheel to Avid SD7's. Ofcourse if this is stupid tell me, I'd rather look like an idiot than an idiot who wasted 60 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well, since it has magura 4 bolt mounts, you'll have to buy some v brake adapters. Or just upgrade to maguras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow wolf Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 HS33 ARE MINT the parts on your dimondback will fit may need a new headset though, and as for frames a long frame will do you some good as the DB is a long frame and they do snap alot usually at the BB, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
