TrialZonn

Yeah I listen to because I always ride alone.I have a big playlist of songs that have been used in trials videos and hear them.I like it because the music reminds me all the moves from the videos

Thanks to all of you again...You are a big help for me. I will try riding with less fear when I recover from my injury. To ClownBike:I would say that your spelling is very close to the right spelling of the phrase.What you said means ''you are beautiful''.Where did you learned it?

Many thanks to all of you guys!!!

Hello to everyone In my short experience in trials riding I recently started encountering problems with the learning process of some moves as I progress. And the reason why is because of fear.In the most cases I am not afraid to pull out a move that I have already nearly mastered (I will not fear to lurch a fairly big gap for example)but when I try to learn something new then there is a problem.As a result I progress very slowlyin comparison with other riders (and it's not only the fear that holds me back.I ride and learn alone cause there is no other person that is interested in trials in my city) The truth is that when I try to pull off the new move something like reflexes make me stop the move before finishing it (for example when I try to sidehop,in the most cases I will stop the move after proloading and then leave the front tire fell rather than jump and kick the pedals)(this is what I name fear) And this happens when I try to climb a very short wall so I don't try to go any higher... I'm trying to sidehop correctly around 2 months with only a small progression. Something else that I have to say (maybe it's silly) that I am not afraid of hurting myself (because I haven't reached big heights) but I am afraid of hurting my bike (I don't want to brake anything with a wrong executed sidehop) So this is a big problem for me and I have noone to help me and I think that this will continue to happen from now on that I have learned the hardcore basics and the moves are getting a little more difficult. Please give me some advice to solve this problem if there is any way to solve it. Many thanks

Thanks but I think I'll buy one and if I don't like it I will use my rear mech... Do you know how Ryan Leech made his rear mech turn upwards and be in a higher position like a chain tensioner???(sorry if I can't describe it right,but if you have seen any of his videos you will understand what I mean)

One last question cause I don't want to make a new topic for this... I decided to buy a splined spocket (18 or 20T) for the rear and leave the 22T front chainring and the bashring... If I am right I will need a chain tensioner and some tools... So what must I know about chain tensioners not to buy one that will not fit my frame??? I think that I will buy these http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10410 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10341 and this chain tensioner http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=309 Tell me if I will be able to attach the chain tensioner and what tools will I need to remove the old cassette and place the new spocket and the spacers on my hub Many Thanks

Thanks but I was told another good solution I will buy a rear 18T spocket and some spacers (and a chain tensioner I think) and change my rear cassette.. In this way I don't have to change my cranks and BB or the front chainring and I will be able to save money to buy a full set of cranks/BB and Bashring later... Thank you for your time

thanks...I believe I can try this... I will keep searching through cause I don't think this will solve my problem only to decide what gear ratio I really need...

That brings me to the cost of 90GP + the shipping cost... I have also the option to change the cassette (I haven't found one with 19 or 20t) Tell me if you have in mind one or how I can know that a bigger cassette will fit my hub and frame... If this is cheapier I will change the cassette for now and buy cranks later on Until now I have 2 options: 1.Buy new cranks,bashring & 18T Spocket which brings mw at 90GB 2.Changing the rear cassette with one that has a gear with 19 or 20T Please tell me for the cassette and give me some links for a decent cassette with 19 or 20T that would fit my hub and frame...(cause my local bike shop doesn't help me much) I think I will search further...if I could have a setup at near 60-70GB I would be happy... Thank all of you for your time and I appreciate your opinions...

I understood... In this way I must change my cranks,with which I am ok but if I buy the Echo CNC then I have to change my BB too...That takes me far from what I can spend for now... what about these http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=156??? If I buy the taper echo cranks the echo bashring and the screw on spocket???

Yes I think that's what I am searching for... So I can buy this product (18T spocket) and the 18T echo bashring...but what cranks must I have... I haven't changed them from the time I got the bike

I recently have a setup of: the standard Onza cranks (that I bought the bike with) the Onza square taper BB the Onza rear hub with a space for a 6-speed cassette A 22T Chainring with a bashring I know this is not a good setup cause I didn't change anything from the time I bought the bike That's why I wanted to upgrade it and change these but... as it seem the drivetrain comes first... So there is any way to find a 18T chainring... But then what an Echo Control for exaple has as a front chainring??? If there is any way to buy the Echo Bashring WITH the 18T chainring please tell me....(if it is compatoble with my cranks)

Yes the bashring,chainring and the cranks fit together... I don't have problem buying a 20T front chainring with a bashring (I think at Tartybikes there is only the Tensile UCI bashring that has an option for 20T)or even a 18T front chainring and bashring (If I found one) and leave the cassette as it is In this way I would have a 20-16 or even better a 18-16T ratio I think the last is the best option I have but I can't find a 18T Chainring

Thank you...But I don't think I can buy a full set of Middleburn Cranks and Chainring right now... I just want to solve me gear ratio problem for now So I want something near to 22-19T,20-17T,18-16 ot 18-15T And I already have a 22T front chainring with Bashring a 5-speed cassette(it was 6 but the upper gear with 17T has broken) with 16T to the top gear Square taper Cranks... Have I any options to solve my problem without changing the Cranks or BB???(When I started the topic I didn't know that my gear ratio must be changed first...)

If I buy a Middleburn 20T Chainring from tartybikes I may have a problem... My Bashring has a 4-bolt connection with my chainring (sorry if I spell it wrong) And the middleburn ring has 5 holes which means that I must change the cranks???or just the bashring???

Many Thanks... From what you say I think I have to change my gears so.. I will buy a 18T front chainring with a Bashring if I found one(if yoy know where please tell me) OR I will buy a rear cassette with 19T gear if I found a 6-speed(Echo has made a 7-speed with a gear of 19T but it's still on order and I don't know if it will fit my hub)

Thanks for the information about ISIS... I'm very satisfied with the bike... My cranks have not any problem yet but I thought that the Echo cranks are a great deal As for the Onza hub my bike was equipped with,it has over 30 engagement points...(It's a good idea for the Hope Pro Trials though,thanks) I have another question... I was running a 6-speed cassette but 1 of my spockets has broken (and it was the bigger gear with 17 teeth) So I am now riding with 22T on the front and 16T on the rear...Do you think that this is a good combination for a high performance in pedalkicks and sidehops and for all the other pedal-based techniques??? Or must I change to a 20T front or 19T to the rear??? I have not a problem with riding with a cassette but if there is any way of changing to single speed without buying a new hub please tell me just to know Thanks to all of you guys

I own a Onza Cleaner and want to upgrade ot further...(cause I am very happy with my frame!!!) So I think I should start by changing the bottom bracket (I think I have an Onza square taper now) But I don't know the difference between Square taper and ISIS (there is for sure something more on ISIS, as I saw they were more expensive) I have not a problem with the money that I can spend, so I want something good (but not the most expensive I can find) The next thing are the cranks I think I will buy the echo 7075 CNC Cranks from tartybikes as they are a great value I have also bought a Tensile Brake Booster for the HS33 and some new pads... If you have something else in mind to help me with my upgrade please inform me... Thank you for your time

many thanks guys!!!

Thanks!!!and yeah,I'm a kind of beginner at bicycle mechanics...It's my first experience with hydravlique brakes...so I don't know anything about adjusting or refilling them with oil...I have started learning how to adjust them right but I think I need to do this a few times to be sure with myself...

many thanks!!!I didn't know it's so simple...

I searched the forum a little and didn't find anything...Can you please tell me how can I change my HS33 Pads??? I recently bought a new pair of Adamant HS33 pads but I don't want to mess anything up... If there is any similar topic that I haven't found please give me a link And a FAQ with images or videos would be even better. Thanks for your time...

thanks a lot...So I can save and buy the 07' model instead of having a creaking hub... what other hub can I buy instead of the Hope Pro 2??? Everything that fits my stock trials bike I want it to have space for a 6-speed cassette and enough engagement points. And of course cheaper than a Hope Pro or else I would buy a Chris King...

I want to buy a new trials rear hyb to upgrade my bike...So what's your opinion about the Hope Pro 2 Trials??? Here's a link http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=371 This is the 06' model and I think it's an opportunity to buy it now that is cheaper... Please tell me and every other advice about others hubs is accepted
