I feel like one of these threads pops up every other month... there is a market for these awesome frames!
giant: Remake them! Nostalgia money
It's the same guy posting the same thread over and over:

Remove just the calliper, hose, and lever. Leave the rotor on. No oil then. See what they say.
Riding in the rain and wind is great fun, though, it will improve your riding, and when it is good weather you appreciate it more.

Plus I don't think Jitsie was around in the 90's
But yes, it appeared on facebook too and I was jumping down people's throats suggesting that they have not lived until they have experienced a proper cage pedal to the shin!

I have two, but I'm not parting with either of them. I still ride one of them in a brakeless, hard tyre, streety sort of setup, pretty much every week. The other is tucked away, along with some Cannondale Fatty R forks, Yellow HS33s, Middleburn Pro Trials cranks, a DCD, and other gems from the time. I want to build it back up with more parts from around that time but some things are probably never to be seen again.
Best of luck in your search matey.

What if he's looking for a method that won't throw his warranty out the window?

A mate of mine has embarked on a brilliant project to restore an old country house on the Isle of Lewis to become a centre point for all things mountain biking and I have been given permission to build a trials playground once the renovation work is complete. There's a video that tells the story and outlines the plans so please give that a watch for all the gen. On the trials side of things, I really want to hold a few comps over here on the Isle of Lewis and having a facility where kids and newbies can try a few things alongside more experienced riders to help them along will lay the ground work to having healthy numbers for competitions. Thank you for your time, please give the video a watch and if you feel like it, please drop us a couple of £ to help out.

Was looking that you hadn't uploaded for a month, and then you did!

Didn't Ali C say "Donny MacOoskill" to some guys in one of his vlogs when he manualed a wall on his brakeless rig in Port G?

Looks like a nice fun chilled out afternoon ride

Conversation is more serious than the riding.
-
Haha that was great!
-
Wow excellent stuff!
-
Haha love it! Usually can't stand to watch unicycle trials but this was fun! Lots of effort gone into the whole thing, good work!
-
Wow I ride an old Giant team trials, have been riding on and off for about 15 years and definitely still no better than when I started....
Cool wee edit, I'm a lot worse than you though

Damn shame I don't think I can make this!

Organic pads definitely made a difference on my BB7. Currently running a Mono Trial which I used to hate but had to switch back to it so had a tinker with it and now I love it! Feels like it has as much bite as a BB7 but with more modulation.

As a guy from a motorbike background ( if you wear your tyres backwards they get worn out 10x sooner) I am not sure if this thread is filled with a strange trick or with irony.
Ah to make me buy more tyres sooner? Nah, Adam once did him self out of a better sale to make sure I got the best part for my needs, top bloke!
-
Ok thanks for the replies lads. Yeah I was aware that the direction arrows are for the tyre's original intended use - going fast over slippery terrain, but I looked on Tarty Bikes and saw that the bikes fitted with Maxxis tyres on the rear have the yellow Maxxis logo on the drive side, which would be as the suggested rotation. Then I figured this may be due to the person responsible for assembling the bike having to follow certain regulations.
I had just removed a High Roller funny enough. I guess you would find higher rolling resistance the wrong way due to it's design!
-
I'm sure this has been discussed before, I did search but couldn't find anything.
Just fitting a Minion on the rear wheel and looking at it I'd say it would be better for trials run against the suggested rotation due to the ramped and un-ramped edges on the tread blocks.
Just wondering if any one else had done this and what their findings were.
-
That looked really fun guys, good video! Gate at the end chomping on Ben's bike!
-
Yeah that looks pretty odd. You'd need a fixed rear hub (measure the dropout spacing for the hub width) and a screw on sprocket. That wheel would make a decent front spare too.
-
Might work but I would not be wanting to try that out. It'd take way too long.
I actually did this way back when ground rims were first 'discovered'. I just made lots of tiny shallow cuts pointing toward the centre of the wheel. Worked very well but did take a while!
-
do you mean where the HA angle line comes out, it don't meet the 1000WB line? so it would be better with a 990ish wb?
The centre of the front axle won't be in line with a straight line right down the centre line of the head tube due to the rake of the forks.
