Borriz Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 I would give family jewels to get the Zula in the untouched silver colour. Hope Patrick reads this!I'm so annoyed that I bought my new bike in May - now I need to find new justifications for a new frame! Back to the original thread on bling-essories. The white Troy Lee saddle will work nice on the white Zula.Get your hands on a white stem
_im_from_earth Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 not only do they look good ' date=' my softail weighs 10,2 kgs , and my hard tail weighs 9, [/quote'] you checked that weight on a scale? i saw one at Finnishline Cycles with full XX and the bike weighed in a 11.4kg!!
PAW3 Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Also put a Zula on a digital scale. Medium frame comes in at 2,7kg....not the same as per specs on the website = 2,4kg. So now in two minds to purchase a Zula. Is it worth the money to save 500 frame grams over my Shova....... And in general reading a lot about the 29er issue. To me just a marketing tool. My little knowledge tells me that the moment of Inertia(rotational mass) for any round object = mass x radius x radius. Do the calculation for the same weight wheel just taking the radius in consideration and I get over 24% more "rotational mass" that must be kept into motion on a 29er wheel ... Eeeishhhhhhh....I still need to find the facts why 29er the way to go. Please help me if I am wrong !!!!!PAW32010-01-03 01:49:56
GoLefty!! Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 medium frame I weighed came in at 2.45kg which is slightly over the published weight and with RP23 fitted. Either way, I have never weighed a frame that comes close to the published weight. Scott says its Spark is 1800gr, actually its closer to 2.2Kg. Cannondale says nothing and its Scalpel comes in at 2.2kg with a RP23. Whatever the weight difference, the Zula is a different ride to the Shova and will build up to a bike roughly 1-1.5 kg lighter than the equivalant Shova.
SwissVan Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Amazing how slow time goes by when your waiting for your new Zula frame to be delivered...
SwissVan Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Oi Morewoodkid see you there on the logged in screen... My frame been shipped to sportnut ??
_im_from_earth Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Not sure... we shipped some stuff out before the factory closed off last year. What size/ colour?
_im_from_earth Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Then it should be with them shortly to my knowledge. Will try get more info, otherwise drop the guys a mail @ Sports Nut? I don't think they take holidays like we do
SwissVan Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Then it should be with them shortly to my knowledge. Will try get more info' date=' otherwise drop the guys a mail @ Sports Nut? I don't think they take holidays like we do [/quote'] Just double checking... Told it should arrive towards the end of Jan, but being naturally suspicious cautious suspicious cautious suspicious and hence worried they sell my frame to their mates telling me it never arrived in the shipment?.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
GoLefty!! Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 and you support these folks you don't trust....?
SwissVan Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 and you support these folks you don't trust....? LoL... of course I'll do anything to get my hands on a Zula frame, problem is i think there are probably quite a few hermans trying to get their hands on one as well. They (Morewood) did not have a spare one when I was lucky enough to visit the factory in Nov.
PAW3 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Thanks. I fully agree that the Shova and Zula will be two diferent rides. I am also in two minds. Im a BIG Morewood fan....but the new 2010 Yeti ASR Carbon now also having my attention. Maybe worth spending a bit more on the Yeti...save some 500g plus on frame weight compare to Zula ?!?!?! Need a couple of nights to sleep this one over.....
jayz Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Saw some MOREWOODS today one with xx,the hard tail,just so the guys know now the full sussers are made local and the hardtails in TAIWAN. SO if you want to be proudly South AFRICAN go full suspension. MADE in the most beautiful province in the land.KZN TJOPS or not.
Underdog Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Rock on jayz, nothing like riding my Zula in kzn...when its not freeking RAINING!
Underdog Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 ooh, can anybody report on any faults or manufacturing discrepancies on their Zula's! Just curious.
