tnx all - ill go for a 3/32

pros & cons any recommended label?

thank you Julien for your response is the "Rear wheel position" section is a new one?... i didn't notice it before what i am looking for is something more 'overall' i.e. the sum of the forces from our body that jump, gravitation, rear wheel movement (kicks), arms pull etc I was always amazed by trials since the first time i saw it in a video of a Czech guy 14 years ago. it seamed to me like magic, making big movements out of nothing (static) so i started a year ago in a quite old age (36) and having a lot of fun ever since .... now i really curious about the theoretical aspects...funny person I'm happy that many of the friends here had a look at this tread promise to keep you updated reg. any new revelations from the hollyland br Asaf

i.e someting like that, but for pedal-kick etc... http://trashzen.com/landing.php

Hi, this one is aimed to the professors among us : -) I'm about to write an article about trials riding for our local cycling magazine (I'm one of the magazine's test pilots) can anyone please direct me to an article about the physics of trials ? thanks Asaf

Thank you all for the advice.....i think that i'll look for a used hope left lever or put there something else

been riding MTB for 13 that way (rear = right) i'm sure that i need to swap sides. will the hope malfunction if the bath will face down - any serious bike mechanic around here ?!

Good morning mates just bought my first (used) bike i need to swap the sides of the brakes (i.e. rear brake at the right hand side) guess there will be no prob with the rear magi but what about the front (hope mono trials Tryall edition) ? can i run it safely with the red bath cover facing down ?! tnx Asaf

for the ones that are not familiar yet with this one great site for trials demos & lessons enjoy! asaf

Hi there, My name is Asaf, 36 years old from Israel. riding mountain bike since 96....love riding in our deserts, long technical single tracks. competed in the past in XC, Dual slalom, Super-D and mini DH races. also got kinda side career as a journalist in Mountain Bike Action Israel and in a new Israeli portal where I test bikes and equipment: e.g. watch me on this video testing 661 body armor (although its in Hebrew, don't miss it !) I was always amazed from the trials riders and recently I've decided to go for it and planning to buy soon a second hand new-school factory rig and start to practice I an an economist in my education and occupation, got two young daughters (3 and 5) and that about it for now... cheers, Asaf

Hi Dave, well, there is nothing that can be called a scene or a trial culture out here there is one serious trials rider named Sharon Tarshis that been doing trials for years and does trials performance in bike events and expos....it is not representation of a culture, its more kinda 'freek-show' so the crowd can say "what the mad man does on his bike..." Sharon in Tel-Aviv On the past 2 year i recon that another approx 10 riders joined the 'scene' (of of a population of 7 millions...) i'm after buying a used rig and there is only one racked Simtra ST1 bike for sale in the market....i think that it explains the size of the sport good week to you all asaf

yeh, sorry for that, guess there its the echo...ech..ec.... now seriously...tried to post in the "introducing" section and somehow it went down here asaf

hi there, ....been riding mountain bikes for the past 13 year, competing in XC, Dual slalum, DH.....lots of hard all-mountain, desert rides....guess i'm now at an evolution stage where i need a new love l, something that will excite me. I'm quite sure that trials is the next thing for me!.....i was always after the slow, technical sections in the rides and love that challenge considering i'm 181 cm in height - should i start with 2-" mos or a 26" ? cheers, asaf
