Savagee Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 hello, I've trialed a couple months but quited cause i got bored of it. So i have a bit experience with trial. (used to ride on a 26" koxx karbon) Now i'm intrested in street/trial but i dunno which bike i should buy or is it cheaper to built one self? I live in Belgium (soz for my english ) so i can't buy a bike on this forum and there aren't any forums in belgium for street/trial. my budget is maximum 1000 euro (is 850 pond) i prefer less Also a mate is looking to begin with street/trial (no experience with trial or street) any suggestions for a bike? Any information is welcome thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 2010 zoot or inspired hex. www.tartybikes.com. sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savagee Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 inspired hex is above my budget... the frame of the onza zoot 2010 are for v-brake mounts and i prefer a hs 33 for a rear brake. Is building a good bike more expansive then buying a complete bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz96 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Get the zoot! Vee's can be very good when set up right or just get some evo 2 adapters so you can run your hs33's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Inspired Element? Would probably just match our budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Inspired Element? Would probably just match our budget. yeah i meant element, not hex. i realised but thought id leave it and hope no-one would notice haha. fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 my mate has just bought a new zoot its such a nice bike, its actually a piece of art matt black and lime green <3 cost £440 from brand new, what ever that is in euro's? but as ive started on a 20" a i cant really get to grips with bigger wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savagee Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 thx for the reply's is there a big difference between the zoot bike and inspired element? (besides the v-brakes cause if i buy a zoot i'll put sd7 on it) Is a hs33 for rear brake better then sd7? And does those adapters fit with the thicker wheels? 440 pond is only 500 euro so it's cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 as for the brake information, i dont really know enough about it but as for the price of the zoot, it was cheap, on tarty bikes i think they are 530 or something but just googled onza zoot and it was 440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(besides the v-brakes cause if i buy a zoot i'll put sd7 on it) Is a hs33 for rear brake better then sd7? And does those adapters fit with the thicker wheels? The difference between the zoot and the element is the price they are built to, in theory you should get more bike with the element and in this case the theory is true as just about all the components of the element are a step above those of the zoot. With inspired and trialtech components the quality is unbeatable in my opinion, not that there is anything wrong with onza, the zoot is a truley great bike and you can't go far wrong with it. I do think it is a big step forward for off the peg trials bikes. Previoulsy I would have said hs33 over sd7, however now I would argue that a well set up sd7 could produce a better brake. If you mean adapters to convert vee mounts to hs33 then I do believe they should fit without any trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 If your willing to spend the money on it, get the Element. They're just better overall spec wise, and the frames are tough while the Zoot frame isn't as good, head about quite a few cracking on here.
