but drums pulla different amount of cable than vees or maggies...so you'd either have a really mushy brake , or one with no power

i use plain gauge spokes and they're fine!

Welcome to the forum...read the rules and im sure you'll get validated in no time

the old dual slalom merlin was quite good....my cousin had a merlin malt2 ( xc bike ) and that was a lovely bike to ride.....i saw that vid where poprter smashed that 721 in....

1999 raceline maggies! or, 1997 tomac dh maggies!

i lol'd at that ^ ive got an onza woodstock if you can call that oldskool?

NO! I just want a recommendation...!

seconded ^ How friggin pointless....

116mm is good because you an run a mod rear hub with a fixed cog...so a front freewheel can be used...makes life a lot easier and is far cheaper to maintain

I agree....anything over 30" feels absolutely barge pole like...

Basically i want a really fun, flicky trials bike (trialskings style) ill use it to commute around 3 miles a day on..but i want it trials specific enough so that i can do some decent stuff on it... Ive got a woodstock and was hoping to build that up, but now im thinking about a planet-x zebdi / jack flash...ive only got around £50 budget..maybe more if i decide to get another frame! and ive got cranks, (maybe)frame(maybe), bb and brakes...suggestions?

they look so nice!

Way! ...that 24/7s going to be awesome ....if its good to ride i may splash out and build one up!

yep its a repost...and no it wouldnt work on a trials bike as a brake lever...and the blades about 9cm long anyway!

Chav= council house and violent! Chav (pronounced /ʧæv/, with 'ch' as in chair) also Charv/Charver (pronounced /ʧɑːv/) are mainly derogatory slang terms in the United Kingdom for a subcultural stereotype fixated on fashions such as imitation gold, poorly made jewellery and fake designer clothing (often Burberry), combined with elements of working class British street fashion, such as trainers, tracksuit bottoms and polo shirts. The term appeared in mainstream dictionaries in 2005.[1][2] ^just about covers it!^

Well, its an xmas pressie and you're selling it after a month of having it! Could be translated as a wee bit ungrateful?

Just try and find people that live near you....mastering the art of trials and trashzen.com, as already said, are great sources! ...

That saracens fine for learning the basics on...i did! its a saracen x-ess / x-ile frame, circa 2001....good frames, farly light and they used to be used by team m.a.d back in the day!

Come on....someone must know!

Nothing really....just its not this weekend, but the next.....when you organise a ride for the weekend coming, not that many people seem to come

Ive got an x-ess....ive got an issue of mbuk where theres this competition to get on saracens trials team...this bloke wins it on a brisa b26d...hes a good rider, some pics of like 8ft drops...then the pic after...the most impressive thing they could get him to do was balance on some rocks!
