Nice build and you will love the Hadleys. I have been running those hubs for the last 6 months and they are incredible. Nemesis frames look so nice and there is so much attention to detail. I am waiting for my Secret Agent...hopefully I will have it in the next week.

Enjoy the rig :clapping:

She's still a work in progress, but she's definately going on a diet before bikini season rolls around. I did manage to catch a glimpse of your future 20 build I think - and I will admit that I'm jealous.

I've been tempted to pick up a twenty, and the excellent builds floating around right now aren't helping. You're in the 6'+ range too correct? All us bigger guys are dropping down in bike sizes!

I wish I could help you out bro - I had Brad strip and lower the z.1 for me. I've always been a Manitou man and can chop shermans and jumpers blindfolded, but have yet to tinker with a Zocchi on the inside. Looking at it now, it doesn't seem like it's a much different process, but I don't want to give you any flawed info.

We have pre made slamm kit's for the Z-1 forks , these come with CNC made Titanium spacers and all the harwear you might need . The kit also comes with very detailed instructions that 13yr olds with no wrench exsperince have been able to figure out .
shoot me an email at

Sorry Jeremy there are other 13yr old groms out there besides you:twitch:

We have sold slamm kit's to a few younger riders who have had 0 wrench experience and they have been able to littlerly open their Dads tool box grab the tools pictured in the instructions and follow the steps , and in the end have a fully tuned fork !

There is one customer from Ride-Monkey with a white streetfighter who did this and he had no problem tuning his fork and getting it to work properly .

yeah im 6'3ish...a little more.
im riding a 21" frame with 8" bars, i figured that should feel big enough---for a small bike.

i thought about a 24 build, but after riding a buddies 22lb superstar, i was set.
