Snail cams seem to work for people under like 185 lbs. Heavier people universally hate them. (Or at least I do) I've sold frames I loved the geo on just to get something without snail cams.

I’ve never had a problem with them and I’ve been 240 lbs

I've never understood how people don’t get on with them it’s literally loosen your axle bolts and click either side till the wheel is straight and chain it tensioned then tighten back up

Snail cams are fine just make sure you get the notched ones

jitsie frames 116mm hub size just for you to bear in mind 

and most frames these days are high bb

so you may need/want more spacers under your stem or even a different stem

I've been looking for a change of frame 26" and after putting a massive dent in the downtube it's probably needed soon. 

Seems like there's not much available, like the rest of the industry. 

I've looked and tarty and trials addict. Where else?

[36h, 26" rear rims??]

Only thing I’ve found online bar some 57mm fat bike rims mate 

 

[18-14 gearing instead of 18-15?]

I’ve ordered a sprocket to try anyhow just curious if anyone has done it and riding has improved? 

[18-14 gearing instead of 18-15?]

Was pondering the idea of going down a tooth on the rear sprocket of my 26” trials bike

i know echo years ago used to spec bikes with 18-16 and then now it is 18-15 standard for stocks

has anybody with a bit of weight/power tried a 14T?

[Brake lever position]

Also think it’s for not smashing the levers in to bad from going over the handlebars but yea short reach will be a reason too

[Coustellier Pads Problem]

No it’s normal, the harder you pull the lever the less it’ll be noticeable but also tends to be worse with plastic pad backings 

alloy backings have rubber O-rings that absorb/hold the pad backing better on to the prongs of the slave cylinders

[Looking for an old cls video]

Just over half way down in the comments someone embedded the clips of him on a onza

 

[Clean K1 updated]

12 months on And still looks unused which it is to be honest 

great bike when it does get used though

 

 

 

[Stem for 20”]

The bottom bracket height are low on pythons 

some people used to run 145x15/20 stems 

maybe trying something in between that and what you have would be a good start?

i used to run a 150x20 stem with low rise zoo bars and I’m 185cm but it was slightly cramped for me 

[Which freewheel?]

Definitely jitsie, I’ve never had problems with them compared to the several echo freewheels I’ve had over the years 

[Hope pro4 skipping]

Had my pro four skip twice in the first week of having it so took it apart and cleaned it out put it back together and was faultless until a bearing gave way a few months after that

[Post a pic of your non trials bike]

Had this beast for a year now used mainly for sprint workouts so only rides upto 15-20 miles and maybe the odd 50-70 mile ride

but after being a roadie for so long Ive become used to easy terrain so just taken delivery on a ebike mtb

Only taken two rides to tune in and do most major adjustments but makes riding mtb so much easier and worth it with a motor for when my legs are tired from the road bike or legwork at the gym 

[merry Christmas TF]

Merry Xmas to the senior member and anybody else that sees this

 

ps. Also drunk 

[Anybody knows where ro get i9 bolt on hub]

Doesn’t seem to be something that’s readily available with a quick search of google

best emailing or phoning them direct to enquire and see if they have any available to purchase or find out how long production of one will take 

[Jitse brake mounts]

Washerless clamps? You won’t be able to use the plastic sleeves that go around the slaves if so.

if the clamps aren’t keeping the slaves from moving but are tightened enough then you probably need to file them as they may have stretched from being tightened a lot previously
