ignore all these losers, the frame looks slow? wtf? Killer team bike, looking forward to seeing the team thrashing throughout the year. As for mud, inner tube mudguard or something? doesn't take genious...
Yes moron .. looks slow ?? So why MICHAL SLIWA was the fastest polish rider when he was riding it ? Now he is riding M6 and he isn't as fast as he used to ... he is giving podium to other riders. http://vimeo.com/2696637 here you can see his promo video, riding both Zumbi and M6.
I thought Joda is the fastest in PL... and for this season Sliwa and Wincent probably will be racing on totally new machines. I saw prototype but I can't tell more....
I know about Sliwa and Vincent and also about this prototype . In my opinion, Vincent is the best and fastest polish rider, this what he did 2 yrs ago in myslenice, when Sliwa was sure that he won setting track record, and then Vincent destroyed him with almost 2 seconds better time ... it was amazing. To be honest, I think that Sliwa and Joda are on the same level, the both wins a lot, but I think that Vincent is better.
man this is crap again .. i saw the other pic 1st and said the same thing.. what a clever position for the shock BTW.. eat dirt bitch ! and give up half way the trail..
dont take it personal.. bitch was ment for the shock ,, so was giving up half way the trail.. U Cee ? and at least i own the bikes i have on my profile..and i dont claim to be 87 grandpa ! do you own this.. this.. ahwell bike > ?
im backing what cyberhawks saying... i mean the shock is well exposed, fair play it probably wont stop working half way down the track but the seals will take a battering from shit and the bearings will last half aslong as anyother f*cker!.. and if ur questioning this then your either a millionair who can throw money at problems or just an idiot who doesnt realise the damage grime and shit can do to your bike
Its a 4Mountains.co.uk team bike which is fully co. sponsored by Fox Suspension, Fox Racing, Mojo Suspension, Mavic, Funn, Maxxis, Hope, Rockstar Energy Drinks and Biketart.com so the cost of new parts isnt an issue
not that you will need any new parts. the shock on this one is nearly two years old and has been raced with no problems. check out the other picks dose the shock look knackerd to you!
your bike probably gets completely taken apart and cleaned after every riding.. ??by you or the team..?so that would help for one..mine does nog show 2 years of abuse either.. half way wasting my time.. i noticed the alu plate..> bridge for the upper links.. the rear wasn't sturdy enough and there was too much flex.. so bolt a 5mm plate alu between them.. that will work.. not even mentioning the bolt with no nylon ring holding the upper shock eyelet the designer should take another good look at santacruz..and then rethink his design..
cyberhawk - the link sturdy yes but... Dop u really fancy so much, gourgious high pressure molded and forged links like in new treks while having in mind that the whole Zumbi swingarm with links is cheaper than the damn trek's one piece rocker alone?! most probably wieht is also not an issue in here :I
I don't think there are slow bikes, there are just slow riders, and don't worry there are no stupid discussions, there are just stupid people joining them.
you can not make me like the frame.. i can see your point of view.. but it makes no sense to me... your build is 2 steps away from my demo.. so it will probably ride nice.. with or without stiffer linkage.. maybe its even l;ighter than mine.. but i still dont like it.. yes i like hydrformed tubes and dont like VPP or one piece rear ends..this is the chance you have getting negative. comments. on a picture you posted..
regarding demo's lightness - Demo & lightweight (especially the old one) - this noun and phrase don't go together at all. Ol' demo frame is about 1,5kg heavier than zumbi f-44. That basically means that U would need Boxxer WC, air shock, some carbon bars, stem, seatpost, xtr cranks and something like Mavic C-max SX wheelset to get close to this zumbi build. That would cost as much as the whiole zumbi frame. Santacruz has introduced hydroforming in their frames in 2009.
bullshit.. is that a zumbi with stiffer optional linkage block brace or without one.. ? and what i said.. > if youre worried about weight you weenie you should work out more.. or start road riding..
offcourse I see ur new school. First people were saying fxxx weight, go big or go home, then the newer school was wieght weight weight - now we have the new new school saying stop saving weight u weight weenies and go exercising, it will save you some money - ya in tha fashion dude
aahhh man i hate fashion...i dont follow ..i lead.. you can pay attention to weight.. but you should not overdo it...and DH on a BMX could be fun too ? peace out !
