"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."

"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."
