The Zerode thread
- Thread starter EVRAC
- Start date
I have been looking at that picture for awhile now. I am going full bore Kawasaki Green with mine this year I think!
how much are you selling yours for?
O the G2 is here! from what ive heard it will have a shorter head tube, I wonder what else it will have.
Interesting. My G1 couldn't fit a Hope Boxxer crown, needed to be 10mm shorter.
i'm assuming that ih8rice means delrin. and that stuff isn't cheap.
just for reference... depending on the tensile strength and whether or not the delrin is impregnated with other polymers (like PTFE), a 3/4" sheet (what it looks like is being used) of straight delrin sells for about $75/ sqf . The kind with PTFE is like $300 / sqf.
Point being, raw materials could easily make up more than 50% of that cost.

yup, thats why i said, "its made of derlin."
Dyslexia dude
What is it that you would want different?
nothing really. im on a first gen zerode and love it to pieces ,never had a problem ,never missed a beat. ive just heard there are going to be changes and I wondered what they are.

how come you guys get to know.........If I was home in NZ I would be knocking on robs door begging to do a video for the reveal.
Where have you been? All of ours are already in the mail 
You know nothing!Where have you been? All of ours are already in the mail
its probably one of the first off the line for testing. making sure its all good for release. just buy a g1 because they are sick bikes without the changes.
^ that
You can email Rob he may let a little out of the bag. I would guess soon we can say all the updates being done to them.....
I do.
a well pixelated pic. slacker & lighter; sounds spot on:
And 3 sizes sml, m, L
Changes are small, and pretty much all visible in that blurry pic.
If it ain't broke...

Looks like the shock doesn't stick out at far. And the top tube is smaller and less head tube. Plus it looks like a large.
Shock looks smaller too
^ think your spot on
For the shock, not chain ring. Well not static and unweighted at least. Still only a 32tooth chainring, so better ground clearance than pretty much anything else with same top gear ratio accept a Racelink with 28t ring and 14"+BB, maybe a Nicolai/Pinion and/or Carvelie/Effigear when it's out.
EDIT:- I guess anything with 14"+BB height could have better ground clearance, but nothing current is that high. Is it?

Well you will get your frame first! But I hope to have a DVO fork first to put on my 2013 G2!
We'll see. I'd not put money on that if I were youWell you will get your frame first! But I hope to have a DVO fork first to put on my 2013 G2!
but neither would IBoth the DVO and Bos(new air RaRe)are pretty unproven but very promising so I'll be happy with either. Still have my Avy 888s for back up anyway.
I'm going against my better judgement and trying air again for the shock. Pros and cons. Hopefully the cons are not lessened damping and increased spring rate when hot. I'm happy with the slightly more docile feel of the air shock in the G1 Zerode as it's plush enough. Will see in the next gen, and with the Bos Air.
