Date Reviewed: April 28, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | peak 2, peak 3 downhill trails of tagaytay | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$200.00 | | Purchased At: | TRX Cycle Center | | Strengths: | I bought the dzx frame only, and I have to admit it does handle very well for a frame with simplified mechanics. The travel adjustments actually do work and the frame itself can take a lot of hits and nasty bail-outs. It feels like a long-travel tazer though. I'll have to agree to agree with an earlier review about the unimpressive decal job. A black paintjob wouldn't hurt either, since orange doesn't really suit me. | | Weaknesses: | I haven't encountered any yet. Despite having a single pivot design, the handling is pretty impressive. Although I'll have to admit an FSR linkage would be perfect for this frame. | | Similar Products Used: | Mongoose MGX, Schwinn Moab-2, Tazer fs, and Azonic ds-1 | | Bike Setup: | Wheeler dzx 6000 frame. Deore LX drivetrain with a Truvativ chainguide. Avid archrival brakes. Kenda kinetics tires. Amoeba 2.5 rise bars and dh stem. | | Bottom Line: |
If you're looking for a frame and you don't have much a budget(like I do), then go out and buy it. It's light, handles well, and I'm still pounding the dh trails silly with it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Long Travel, good components, XT/LX, Front Disk Diacompe. Great colour!! | | Weaknesses: |
Fault in frame design, lower hole in rear swing arm not accesible, long head stem. | | Similar Products Used: |
Mongoose 8.3, Craftworks DHR 99, KHS Extream. | | Bike Setup: |
Marzocchi Zoke Eleite DH 5, Shockworks rear shock with rebound ajust. Diacompe Cable front disk. XT derailleur, LX cranks rear hub and shifters. AMOEBA stem/Handelbars, WTB grips, Tioga DH seat. | | Bottom Line: | If you are short on money but wanna downhill this is for YOU! I love my Wheeler sooo much but the frame fault is a bit of a bummer. Nice hydro forks, bit plush so if your tubby get the oil changed. good rear shock, could be plusher though. The mega 9 drive chain will get ya some serious speed but weak chain. rear V-brake not very strong, good idea to put a second diacompe cable disk on the rear priour to your pick up. overall EXCELLENT!!! | | Overall Rating: |
