I knew if I waited I'd find one used eventually, but I couldn't wait. I got delivery of the frame on thursday From Mikki and Lee at dreamride bikes. Like a kid in a candy store I finished the 2012 XYBB build by the next morning. After snapping some pics, I went and got it dirty...WOW! is it fast. I'll miss the plush of the MXZ frame from time to time...but the rest of time I'll be grinning ear-to-ear. In regards to the MXZ I can sell the frame bare or with any of the parts listed. I'd keep it but I'd also like a gates SS to ride with the wife. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=282#post-13320 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 13:51:39 +0000 Shredder 13320@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I'll trade you my YBB frame for your XZ if you want to cancel the order.

The 26'' wheel bikes have not gone through those changes as of yet.</p> <p>From what you describe above I would say it's a combination of very light parts(wheels)....what else is it built with?..., rider weight and tubing size that are making you feel what you are feeling. How tall are you?</p> <p>What shop did you order it through?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=282#post-12532 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 12:21:50 +0000 bowtiguy 12532@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Just orderd a 12' Mooto X YBB to go racing, so the MXZ will be for sale shortly ( got to keep the wife happy, 3 bike self imposed limit).</p> <p>I'm going to list it on Ebay and MTBR when I get back into town next week. </p> <p>I'll start by listing the frame, 2012 Fox F29 terralogic 100mm fork ( new this season) and Chris King red headset ( with CK spacers) for $2550 shipped FedEX insured.</p> <p>- red outlined decals</p> <p>-willing to sell frame only too.</p> <p>The following components can be added individually or look below for the package deal.....</p> <p>-Chris King Red Bottom bracket installed ( literally 2 months)...$100</p> <p>-Moots Ti layback 27.2mm post...$200</p> <p>-Moots Ti open trail stem ( red decals and front plate)....$225</p> <p>-Salsa Flip collar in red ( Original will be included).... $25</p> <p>I'll sell the entire package shipped/insured via fedex for $2950.</p> <p>-=MIke</p> <p><a href="mailto:bowtiguy@comcast.net">bowtiguy@comcast.net</a> </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=8754#post-12529 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 12:09:36 +0000 bowtiguy 12529@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>wow! I hope this is an isolated case. I've got a new 19" Mooto X YBB on the way, should be here next week. I weigth a tad less at 185. For what its worth, I demo'd a 19" YBB during a local front range demo day and did not notice any flex coming off my 19" MXZ. </p> <p>However, I did notice that the steering was a little quicker or snappy. Once I adjusted, it was no big deal. I took the bike up to speed ( big ring...down hill) and found it very stable, even under hard corner ( threshold) braking. It railed corners that I may have been bushwacking if I were on the MXZ.</p> <p>Maybe get your weight back over the rear wheel a bit more. Less stem length with a layback post. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=8754#post-12519 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 04:57:43 +0000 dentlfly 12519@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>just built up a new stock 17" ybb. carbon lefty fork and enve carbon wheels. my concern is how unstable the bike feels. it has a lot of lateral flex from headtube back to most of top tube. it is a very unsettled ride; almost scary. shop tried switching to a conventional fork but no difference. anyone have similar issue. i weigh 215 lbs so also wondering if need stiffer tubing. thanks for any input. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=282#post-10892 Sat, 19 May 2012 16:53:54 +0000 bowtiguy 10892@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I've got one and love it. had it for over a year. love it so much that I sold all my Ibis Ti 26ers shortly after building up the used frame in april 2011. Including my silk ti and bow ti. My only complaint has been weight. I put it on a diet fall 2011 with I9 enduro/flow wheelset, XTR shifters, RD and casette and some 180/160mm XX brakes. I've got it down to 26.5 lbs with 959 pedals but the guys I'm riding with these days are cranking 20-22 lb carbon hardtail 29ers so I'm thinking about shaving another 2.25 lbs off the bike and going with a 2012 Mooto X Ybb frame.</p> <p>I run 90 psi on rear shock and 95 psi on my Fox Terralogic 29er fork. I'm 6' and 187 lbs. and it rides like a dream. I lock it out for "most" climbs and toss the switch and hammer downhills faster than I ever have before in my 40 years frame and 20 years of cycling. I can finally ride areas like the south side of Hall ranch and enjoy them.</p> <p>I'll definately miss the ride on my 4hr+ epic high country rides though. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=282#post-1761 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 21:08:31 +0000 TiBike 1761@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I know 2 guys that have them and they love them.... </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=282#post-1714 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 20:18:12 +0000 twklei 1714@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Does anyone own a Mooto XZ? I tried every message board I can find to get any onfo on this rig. Any feedback would be great. If not oh well, I guess I will be the only person with one. </p>
