Just wanted to let you know I survived the road trip to see Phil in Va. I got the Zong home and am loving it. Will get some pics up soon

Probably two happy chinariders.

Congratulations on acquiring your new bike, and welcome to the Cult of the Zong!

Resistance is futile, you have been assimilated!

The steak dinner is important, but I also want to know, did you get a Zong T-shirt?

Also, did you get the rear dual sport tire? If not, I will be happy to build a custom, 18-inch rear wheel for you.

We look forward to viewing your photographs.

I didn't get the steak. Phil did give me and my 3 buddies that made the trip a Custom Hall's Auto/Zongshen shirt. I did get a set of the dual sport tires but have not mounted them yet. Once I get some wear on those I will decide if I want to go with the relaced rim or a swing arm conversion.

4 guys and one bike. :? You couldn't talk the others into zongs?

FastDoc · 04-19-2010, 11:52 AM

I don't think you need to do the swingarm conversion to run an 18 inch SpudWheel.

SpudRider · 04-19-2010, 01:02 PM

I am glad you got the dual sport tires; now you can play a bit in the dirt!

We eagerly await your photos.

Two of them are brothers, one has a TW200 the other an WR250X. They all loved the Zong though.

i tried to tell them they had plenty of room for bike, i even tried to push the 50cc scoot (not real hard, but it is impressive) it was nice to meet you and if you have troubles let me know. im now down to 1 set of tires, and they may be gone if i can figure out shipping. i am also still trying to find more of the tires. funny thing when i asked jack, hes the new gm at zong, he seemed unaware of the tire problem, then i must have got him interested when i told him i wanted the tires and needed a source. i think it got his attention when i said not 15 i want 50 :roll: if the price is right. you guys think thats too many i also have to wonder what they do there all day? sell bikes nope. parts nope,,,huh what do you do in miami to make money at a chinese bike distributor without selling bikes, or parts 8O maybe i should ask al

bama if you ever decide to change to 18'' rear wheel, you don't need to do a whole swingarm change, I am running a custom made spud 18'' rear wheel, but you have alot of mods to do to get to that point! Enjoy your ride.
