  7. Wb Tooo Short Unsure Of Forks Offset Diffeerences

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by DEZ

    Higher is good too, it gives you more cockpit room, which is what you're looking for. A long frame feels longer because there's more cockpit room. Just increasing the wheelbase with forks won't really make the difference you're looking for. Either a new stem, or a new frame, sadly.

    ah that makes sense but i still struggle with surges i cant fit on things that i used too dont knowm weather to get differnt forks or bite the bullet and get a longer frame

    just measured the wb with 07 python forks and shes 1010mm so little improvment im thinking the trial tecs !

    hay guys ive moved from a 07 python(short) with 07 python forks which gave me a 1025mm WB to a echo team 09 short with echo urban forks giving me a 1000mm WB ive looked at WB and fork offsets i just want to make sure im right in saying that the urbans are a 35 offset and trialtechs are 45 so there for if i got the trialtechs i can increase my WB by extra 10mm?

    ive never been bothered about GEO and WB but now ive moved frames ive noticed my riding has suffered ive come to a conculsion of getting a longer frame and forks or just forks but is there anything else i can do longer stem etc?

    ok so ive had an urge to move to DD i like the modulation and feel of the mono trial disc brake and would love to give it a go on the rear but before i make a move i have few questions

    - i am right footed and side hop to the left - this obvsioulsy means that when slip bail fall etc i am going to smash bend the rear disc , i run a front disc and in the 4 years i have run it ive hit it twice once falling off a crate into a crate on the disc (awkard fall) then secondly front wheel went through a drain landed on disc xD anyway im looking for advice from DD riders

    - what side do you ride

    - have you hit your (rear) disc

    - isit hard or is very simple to hit it from a side hope slip

    - have you just damaged the disc or the caliper from a side hope bail

    i would prefer to have any info from someone who either rides or has riden a DD not someone who thinks they know it all and hasnt riden one we all have our views

    also if there is any local south waleanes that can let me have a feel of a DD that be much appreached

    thanks Dez

  24. Two Questions, With Pics, About My Bike.

    your snail clams are fine either way i would just like to point out from your description and picture of the left side of the bike are you side hoping to the left side with your left foot forward ? if so id side hope left foot forward and go to the right as you can catch your pedal on the way the other way also makes it more awakrd IMO to side hop up ! just a little riding tequnice i use if on the other hand if you do side hope that way ignore this :P just somthing i took into account from the pictures and description

    the brake - i have the same problem i went brave removed my pads pulled the brake in and wedged a sheet of metal between the pistons then cleaned the piston with some bog roll then prized the pistons back out with the metal sheet i left in( make sure its thick enough not to make the pistons pop out but thin enough to get enough of the piston out enough to clean) this made a little difference i just had to space them out better with washers so she sits true and locks stright!
