Double post.

Those hubs look pretty interesting? anyone got any info on them?
They engage at once, unlimeted enganements.. The problem is the squishy feeling. I had one for in 2004-2005, all i can say is that it was good to come back to proper engagements again.
I can only describe it as having a rubberband as a chain.
I heard alot of them blow up when used in trials, but mine lasted ok.

Anyone seen this amazing deal?
http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/26_inch_frames/monty_230_xhydra_frame_and_wheels/c14p12430.html
Bring back so many memories!
If the tarty guys read this; Whats the history behind this? Is it a frame that never has been sold or are they producing oldschool frames again? -
It's cool, looks oldschool
Some did it because it requires longer spokes, so if you have some spokes that are too long, this could be the only way to build the wheel withouth buying new spokes. -
They are of the diameter and the angle is correct?
I believe the Tensile got a pretty standard 45*/45* bearing.. The same bearing size i have on my trials bike with brakes (Neon headset) , all mountain bike(Nukeproof) and road bike(Ritchey).
-
They are tabletops yes. Though, i would like to change them to something heavier with bigger volume so i can run lower pressure.
The crown race was just the crown race from the old headset, it had the same angle as the Tensile so i didn't see any reason to change it.
-
Nope, i had another crown race on. I lost the original from Tensile.
The fork had this crown race from new, i think i shotblasted the fork with that crown race.
-
They might not be the best forks but that's all the more reason not to make them any weaker and more likely to fail!
I broke a Neon fork autumn2013. This fork was not blasted
EDIT: the fork that broke was shotblasted with sand.

Shotblasted frame
Thanks everyone, be cautious with these forks..

I'm mostly riding with brakes, but this time i was showing trials to a friend so he borrowed my trialsbike with brakes.
I have trialtechs on my bike with brakes, have there been any breakage of these?
I have been riding trials for 10 years now, and have broken two forks in that time. Have mostly used Echo Urbans which have been bulletproof.
EDIT: Yep, one tooth and chipped another! Estimated cost by my dentist: 500gbp. 3 stiches in my forehead and 4 stisches in my upperlip.

I hate bad forks. Broke my Neon curved fork some months ago. Luckily i noticed when trackstanding.
This time i was not so lucky. Bunny over a small ledge and flat landing. No big deal at all.
The Because fork broke, and i had no chance to dampen the fall. My face took it
I have Trialtech forks now. Should i trust them?

Added you on facebookThere all trials riders. .
I just find it very curious that someone wants to have thousands of trials "friends" they do not really know.. just because i they the same type of bike
-
I have some trials riders adding me on facebook every now and then.
Why? Just because we ride the same small sports doesn't mean we should be facebookfriends?
I have a pic of me trackstanding as a profile pic.. so it's maybe my fault, but i do still not understand the logic behind this.
The two newest guys are Patrick Smit and Therry Klinkenberg
-
Thanks for the info.. I guess i have the first of both, but is there any way to recognize the different frames? Cs might be the easiest to measure.. BB height is always different unless you have the correct fork.

Hi!
I have two Inspireds, one Hex and one Fourplay..
I wonder hos many types of geometry these bikes have had over the years?
Cheers,

I have a 29er gravel grinder
Amazing to ride compared to 26"
Much smoother over anything!
I might try 650b on my am, but i need to crush my 26er first.
( My AM is 26", My dh is 26", My dirt is 26", my trials bikes is 26", my old gravelgrinder is 26" ) -
Will search for fabio wibmer.. I have seen everything from the other guys
Thanks anyways -
Hi!
I have not really seen alot of vids the last 3 years or so.. Do you guys have any favourite that i have missed?
Please post it!
Cheers! -
I run the Rubber Queen, 940grams mine weigh.
Feels very good, altough abit of a hassle to get it to bead properly ( my last one had the same problem)
And the big volume makes it a tight fit into my frame..
Big diametre and volume makes it perfect for natty imo, altough i have had 2x big betty, 1xnobby nic, 1xmountain king supersonic and 3x Rubber Queen, back in the days i tried the Tryall, Highroller and Minion.. They feel sluggish compared to the Rubberqueen.
So i do not really know what the new Tryall lite is like, but the rubberqueen is my favourite of the list above.
