  6. Cracked Magura Lever

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by willdudeXD

    Mine did this. I used a longer bolt from a 4 bolt mount and now it is fine :)

    how does that work :S

    im thinking about just making the bar wider where i want the lever with hockey tape so it grips the bar, then going over it to stop it cracking more lol

    im thinking about trying to put it on my bmx xD

    EDIT: just took it off and measured against my bmx, no way is that happening lol

    i was tightening the clamp on the lever boy of my hs33 and it cracked and i really cant afford a new lever and bleed kit... (N):(

    is there a way i can fix it or stop it from moving without replacing it? even if its temporary, atm i have a cable tie keeping it from cracking more but it moves and made me slip the pedal and get 2 stitches in me shin -_-

  15. Putting Bmx Cranks On A Trials Bike

    I don't know why everybody thinks BMX cranks are heavy. Your AVERAGE (read, not light, not heavy) is 33oz which is 935g. A typical BMX euro bearing cup (the BB bearings) is around 8oz or 226 grams, and that's for heavy ones. That's a total of 1151g.

    A TITANIUM Reset BB is 210, but your average isis BB is around 300g

    Trialtech isis arms are 510. After you add a bash and a sprocket, you're sitting around the same weight and not NEARLY as strong. And that's with a standard a crmo axle in the BMX cranks. Don't forget you can also get a Ti axle for the BMX cranks.

    If you run Middleburns, you're gonna be slightly heavier than the Trial Tech crank arms, and it puts you toughly in the same weight as BMX cranks.

    There are lots of BMX companies who have 23t front sprockets now that a lot of people run 23/8 gearing. You won't be able to get a bash unless you run something that's a 25t and then you get a bunch of options like a Shadow Conspiracy Crowgora (what I'm using) or Odyssey MDS. The inspired one looks to work with BMX cranks as well and is 23t. There's a bunch of other options out there, but those are just off the top of my head.

    Anybody who's recently built up a BMX knows, with todays light bmx parts you can build up a SOLID bmx that weights sub 20lbs. It will definitely be a lot more durable than any trials bike you can build up. Heck, KHE has a street bike that weighs 17lbs, and many companies are offering completely OEM bikes that are in the 23lb range with pegs for under $700!!!

    lol, yeah i recently built a bmx wich is 23 lbs with pegs, all inned is a ti spindle and a new front wheel and it will be roughly 19

    Why? They're heavy, you'll have a f**king hard job finding a 22T ring, and you'll need to dick around with bb's. You could do it, but are you sure you really want to do it?

    Especially when i've got some beautiful Middleburns for sale ;)

    haha, i duno cuz my bmx cranks are better than my stock cranks, i dont really mind about the weight, i just trust bmx bbs and cranks more. plus i know more about them,
