    • Yeah, currently thinking Hope Fortus Wheelset, Hope Evo Cranks that are spare, Hope Trial Zone Brakes.
    • Amazing! I owned one, built with modern parts: 100mm high rise bar, 70x25 stem, hope pro 4, shimano cranks. It was a beast in manual! Easy to throw due to the short top tube but easy to stay in manual due to the long chainstays. I really enjoyed riding it, even if the top tube was really short (pure trials moves were more difficult).  
    • Centerlock is superior from an engineering point of view (the rotor does not twist due to misalignment, it is even safer cause the rotor cannot leave its interface - there is no enough place) but it requires a really good execution, which is sadly often not the case. I had some issues with centerlock, like the spline interface of a DT Swiss hub was too wide and it was almost impossible to fit a Shimano rotor on it. I had also the opposite, the Shimano rotor was really loose on a centerlock hub. And in trials, the rotor came loose regularly. I have to admit I had also some issues with 6 bolts, like bolts getting loose suddentdly after riding the megavalanche track in La Réunion: I rode these wheels and rotors many months without issue but somehow they came loose on that day. I also stripped the head of a bolt, the quality of this specific bolt being really low.
