RIDER RAVES
"We just had to compliment you on a great design... [the Zero G]
gave us the most responsive and comfortable ride in a long time...It takes
vision to produce a product such as this, congratulations."
- C. Young, South Africa
"Since I got my Zero G about 6 months ago, I hadn't really done any
true mountain biking. That is, until yesterday. I went with an Army buddy
of mine to a local area popular with MTB'ers. He was very skeptical of
my Zero G, having seen my Matrix and developed a list of replacement parts
I'd need to bring it up to it's full potential. (Yes, he's a bit of a
bike snob; his bikes cost him about $3,500 each.) The first thing he was
impressed with was the Zero G's weight. Then he saw that I had the same
brakes he had installed on his. And we have the same front suspension.
He also approved that it was a hardtail.The bike performed flawlessly
throughout the day. Through streams, hills, drops, single track, etc.
Sometimes I wished I had a full suspension bike; other times, the nimbleness
and weight put me at the advantage (climbing, carrying over rocks, etc).
It was grueling, but by the end of the day, my bike-snob buddy was fully
accepting of my Zero G. And the folding part never became an issue, except
at the end of the day when I folded up my bike and stuck it in my Jeep
while he was still fiddling around with his rack system."

"Last week I went to Chung Yung and bought the Zero-G. Being a bit
of a perfectionist I insisted on putting on an upgrade of forks. I can
understand why you put on the stock forks, price I guess, but this frameset
deserves great components, so I also purchased a Fox 100 float. Also changed
the twist grip to Sram levers.Have ridden the bike a couple of times and
this morning thrashed it along my local technical single track trail.
For an hour and a half I pushed the Zero-G through all sorts of conditions,
drop offs, bunny hops, slippery descents, hard cornering, and lung sapping
climbs.It's not a folding bike, it's a mountain bike. I was nervous before
buying a folding bike, but Jason at Chung Yung set my mind to rest and
he was right. This bike is stiffer than a GT triple triangle. Climbs really
well. And after a couple of minutes I forgot about it's folding qualities.
Later in the month I will be riding in the Sinai Desert in Egypt, we're
going on vacation and that's why I wanted a folding bike. This bike will
accompany on all my trips. I love the design, as I will be riding in sandy
and dusty conditions.Anyway, bottom line; I have been riding since I was
a kid, I'm 52 and I'm British, having lived in Hong Kong since 1982 and
still ride like a kid. I have about 22 assorted bikes, and I got fed up
unbolting the rear triangle of my full suspension bikes and packing them
in a suitcase and rebuilding them in hotel rooms. Now thanks to you guys
and Jason at Chung Yung I am a happy traveler - I just wish I could put
the bike in my carry on luggage, then at the airport I could ride to the
departure gate on my Zero-G. Maybe I'll tell the airline I will be traveling
with a folding "wheelchair" - it just happens to only have two
wheels.Thanks again and keep the innovations coming."
- M. Keith, Hong Kong
