My Atomz Quark II


La Bourde

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

recently I was looking for a cheaper bike with a front disc brake.

I found an used Atomz Quark II for a good price.

It is a medium size.

Two years ago I bought a small one after more than 10 years without comp bike.

I could not really appreciate the small one, cause I had basically no reference to compare to.

So after riding different bikes (cleep, jealousy, freed), I was looking forward to find how good the bike is.

Even if the bike is more than 10 years old, it rides really well.

The geometry is not too far from a cleep or a jealousy, only the bottom bracket is 15mm  lower. It had already a through axle and built-in tensioner.

It seems to me that the bike is less stif than the cleep and less reactive. But is ride really well though. It is overall a solid bike.

The carbon plate to hide the HS33 hose was missing so I built a smaller part from Kydex.

I think I will swap the brake lever for an old 2005 HS33 black one (the current one is from another bike) and the Louise lever blade for one with TPA.

Hope you like it.

Trialtech pads for the win!

Nice bike, these never get old

I don't know the brand from the pads, I got them with a brake.

I thought they were Crewkerz orange ones, cause they are translucent.

I think they are my favourite pads. I love the feel and it seems to me they are better in wet conditions than the Coust one.

They are Crewkerz pads if they are transluscent. Amazing pads indeed.

My favorite pads of all time are the Try-All clear ones. Probably made by Thierry Klinkenberg. Similar to the red ones but with much better hold.
