I've been riding one of the devil pre-sale version for 6 month... I was
used to riding a KH24 (2004 model) for trials/street... looking backward
I feel like I just learnt what trials means last christmas.
being a "beta rider", I posted an article (in french) on the FFM
website. I won't translate it here but I can try and tell you what I
think about this uni.
the good points:
Cranks: they look cool... they're awesome. not "angled" and nothing to
bruise your anklebones with.
Saddel: to me this is the definite version of velo saddles for trial.
the shape is the same as a KH but the foam is thinner so that it is
easyer to handle it in SIF tricks. the cover might be stronger but it's
still good looking.
Cheesehole rim: gives a great control on skinnies and VERY wide to
prevent the tire from folding. Maybe I'm wrong but I find drops smoother
as the tube can expend a little bit throught the rim holes
Axle/hub: nothing broken yet, Isis compatible. can go through several 6
feet drops without creaking (sorry, didn't try much higher yet)
AND IT'S SO LIGHT 😄
the negative points:
seatpost weekness (maybe I'm wrong but I've heard this problem has also
been reported on Onza and KH).
pedals are light but to narrow and not grippy enough (as far as my shins
are concerned:p).
be VERY careful about the way your pedals are mounted, never forget the
outer "rondelle" (washers?) or your cranks will die soon (and they are
not cheap!) and NEVER ride whith a loose pedal.
