I replaced the ETA cartridge in my ZI with a DJ 3 plunger rod, and then shortened the spring 2" in that leg and added a 2" pvc spacer to the negative spring. That got it low and good, but I messed around with it so many times that I messed up the seals.scurban said:
I'm interested to hear how this works out. I'm thinking about doing the exact same thing. I like my Gimp, but I think I would like the feel of the super short chainstays on the Fall Guy. If you could post a comparison of how the two bikes ride, that would be cool.scurban said:

I grew up on a 20, but I really have a hard time adjusting to one now. I tried an S&M Black Bike at the track the other night...really nice bike, but it would take me forever to get used to riding, and for what? It's not like I'm trying to qualify for the X-games....I just ride for kicks and don't want to kill myself. Any bike with a fork is going to be easier on your body.
Yeah, we've talked with Moshcore, I do get a fair number of Europeans interested in the bike...it's obvious we need some European distribution. Untill then, either go direct from us, or Ride-This (they've shipped our stuff overseas), or Phat Moose in Canada. We'll be shipping a batch the first week of November.
The USB Molly looks like a really good bike. A clean looking frame made with quality materials by a reputable vendor, so you can't go wrong there. I haven't riden one, but it seems close enough to a Fall Guy that I'm sure I'd like the way it rides. I'd take it over anything else I've seen on the market, with the exception of one other bike. I'm sure you can guess which. Also, I want to point out that we didn't invent the steel chainstay yoke, although I like the way ours looks the most. The first yoke like that I've seen was on a bike called a "Draco" and another bike from "Black Sheep." Just trying to give credit where it's due. There are very few, if any purely original ideas.
The Fall Guy has been a good fit for me and the way I ride. Mostly, I ride dirt jumps with skatepark second. I also race BMX on the Fall Guy as well. I'm a long way from being a good rider, but I ride regularly, and have had the chance to try a lot of other bikes. My impression of the Fall Guy is this: it inspires confidence, without getting in the way. Again, my riding is quite possibly far more limited than yours, but so far, for what I do, it's been excellent.
I wouldn't just call those "some random bikes", haha!TWISTED said:

There were actually five Fall Guys there. Shane Knapp was out there riding in the dirt jump Pro Class as we watched.Lennart said:
Not just because of that.. It won't be anytime soon, but once i start collecting parts for a new bike, i'd like to prevent the front wheel from being "dish" shaped, since i won't be running a front brake. Plus, it looks nicer!rpet said:
I've never weighed my Revell, and I'm really...resisting.. doing ...so! I recon it's sub 30, but I just don't know. I noticed one of my LBS has a scale hanging in the backdoor though...TWISTED said:
Go to www.danscomp.com, click "bike parts", click "brake accessories", at the bottom of the page is a "V-Brake Plate" adapter for $24.99. He should be able to mount that through the existing hole in his fork (might have to drill one).skin6061 said:
Love the Gold Chain! Especially on the green frame. Also It looks way better 'spoked' than with the Tuffs IMO... I'd run it like that permanently, except switch out to a higher volume tyre, preferably a DMR Moto or something quite light. Oh and do me a favour and push that top tube pad forward slightly more...TWISTED said:
OK, I slid the pad forward an inch.Changleen said:
