TrialsIsHard Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 can the zoots run a normal seatpost? They have an integrated pivotal post, but if you were to cut it off and get a clamp.. you could probably make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAMPIRE V12 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 They have an integrated pivotal post, but if you were to cut it off and get a clamp.. you could probably make it work. Dont quote me on this but if you were to cut it off you would have to source a seatpost that would fit in it as i think its an odd size i,e, not a 25.4 or a 30.1 like some of them. They built the zoot with out a seat post in mind so i think the actual seat post its self in the frame is a little smaller than a normal seat post. + If you were to run a seat post in it you would have to cut out some gap holes for the seat tube to flex to keep your seat post in place. Your reply contained near to perfect punctuation, thank you. I apologise to you i was on here and facebook at the same time and got pissed off and confused, soz for that you can call me all the names under the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonNicholson95 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 riding that sort of distance on a trials bike would be really difficult because of the gearing, i would recomend buying a trials bike and a really cheap mountain bike or hybrid off ebay just to get around on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_trials Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Riding with a trials/street gearing can be done, but if you're doing it everyday it can become tedious. I currently ride 6 miles to college and back on an 18:15 gearing and its not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_trials Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I thought you meant 6 there and 6 back often feels like it, i ride during my lunch break so it probably makes it about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Buy the Zoot, and try to buy a cheap mtb or race bike out of your local newspaper or off gumtree for commuting. Deffo don't wanna be commuting on a trials bike, I hate riding to the train station on mine and that's not even half a mile away from my house!
