    Not even sure if I've ever posted pics of this in here so here she is, Rosie my hill climb and sprint car.

    Would take me a while to list the full spec of it but its got a Metro 1275, Stage 4 head, CBR Fireblade carbs, Fiesta brakes, John Alley roll cage ect ect. I can list everything if you "really" want to know :wink:

  4. Whats Good About Street Trials?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    I think the main reason for me is the ease of accessibility to skate parks now compared to say 10 years ago. You can pop to a skate park and ride knowing you won't get kicked off, told to move on or arrested. They're fun to ride, full of like minded people and even if you're on your own, can still interact with people and try new stuff without fear of falling off badly and having no one around to help. I take my trials bike to the skate park and ride some TGS stylee stuff, then do some streety more bmx oriented moves, they're just a nice versatile place.

    Obviously a skate park will never compare to some proper decent street spot but you know they're always there if you can't ride anywhere else.

    That may have been £350 new but he should feel lucky to get Andy, cable ferrules are the plastic or metal caps that go on the end of outer gear/brake cable. In this case the guy seems to think it's a huge selling point.
    Ah I see, that must add the extra £300 to the value :P

    I'm worried that it only has 1 brake cable inner and outer... But at least it has 2 standing pedals, those sitting pedals are a bit uncomfortable.

    Now excuse my ignorance, I know I've been out of the game for a while, but what are Cable Ferrules and why does it need 4?? That's just plain greedy, especially when I have no Cable Ferrules!!

    Well I seem to recall from my first Maladie that they ride really nicely, however that was about 2 maybe 3 years ago! They are a bit of a barge but with the BB rise they are still fairly flickable.

    I've only just got back onto this one from a 2 year break so hard to say really but I'm feeling quite comfortable on it so far and was starting to get back to how I used to be

    Probably the last surviving Rockman Maladie, however it is my 2nd Maladie frame. Had one a few years ago and really liked it so got another to get back into riding. Not ridden in around 2 years so it's a bit of a shock to the system.

    So seeing as trials seems to have moved on a little bit since I was heavily into it, I shall "try" my best to list some kind of a spec...

    Rockman Maladie Frame

    Echo Urban forks

    Shitmano Deore front disc

    2004 Magura HS33 rear with Try-all Crocco yellows

    Onza Ronnie / Reggie rims with Onza sealed hubs

    Onza sticky finger tyres (but have a set of Monty Eagle claws to go on)

    Onza cranks with Tensile freewheel

    Some unknown stem

    Try-all bars

    It's not the greatest spec in the world and some stuff is quite old skool but it's enough to get me going and get stuff upgraded over time.
