vinylguy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Darn it! Mine is currently just a plasti-dip temporary coat over the original. But it's looking tired so I'm thinking of getting it done permanently. I'll probably go the Morewood powdercoat route (it includes prep work, alignment, bearings etc), but because I designed and cut my own vinyl, it will have to come back to me for that. Then for clear coat I'll have to go for a 2k automotive, because the vinyl won't withstand the temperatures for cleat powder coating. do you perhaps know the torq settings for a zula frame? I asked morewood themselves but am still waiting reply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted October 16, 2014 Share do you perhaps know the torq settings for a zula frame? I asked morewood themselves but am still waiting reply... Nope, sorry! Only my Zuliza uses similar hardware to a Zula, and it has no markings on. plus I'm kinda a 'hand tighten' guy myself (I really should get a torque wrench though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try calling a bike shop like Williams Bike Shop in CT / Somersetwest and ask him......he has build so many Morewoods it is not funny, and he is a very very good wrench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will post when she arrives MW did a polished Makulu custom for Nathan Rennie for Aus World champs a couple years back....looked TIT! Only issue is the polished frame never stays sparkly and also shows up every imperfection. The natural brushed finish would look pretty sweet!

alexwc46 Posted October 20, 2014 Share 1x10 conversion done to the Zula. Running a 30t Hope NW ring with XT 10 speed 11-36 cassette and chain combo, XT clutch rd and Zee shifter. Couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of going with the newer white colour scheme, white just seems timeless to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe powder coating removal is a bit more tricky!I have a white Shova and love it....goes well with the white Lyrik! Get it powder coated if you go white, the finish is tough as nails! Sadly, I broke my Shova this past weekend....so repair or new swing arm is in the mix, and maybe a new colour scheme!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
