  3. Help With Side Hops

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    I'm having a similar problem too atm. I find if the thing you want to side hop up is too small it makes me fudge up. But 4 pallets i just keep putting my foot down on. :ermm:

    But i reckon that it is just commitment to the move, with me anyhoo. :D

    You doing the from back wheel side hope or the from two wheels side hop?

    Any thoughts?

    I posted this on a production forum and got loads of elitest responses like "Get a Korg for $2,000, that Alesis is cheap..." - If I'm looking at £79 keyboards, do they not realise I don't have $2,000 in my pocket??

    Those.

    The chain will be a little bit thick, probably. You'll see, lol.

    Also, shorter mech is better. I used a sora super-short cage road mech, and a 9sp shifter and a cassette modified to run two gears - trials and fast. Might be an option for you too, it's not that hard to do.

    yeah sounds cool. it did cross my mind but wasn't shore if it were viable. Awesome.

    I didn't mention earlier but i have never built a bike before but this is a project/learning curve i want to work on. :D So in trying to save money, because i'm poor, this is a selection of bits for one idea......

    Drive chain

    Cranks (remember the pashley is blue......) these are not cheap! :( so the cranks will have to wait.

    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Kits.aspx?ModelID=3346 from £150

    shifter

    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=22765 £20

    8 sp cassette (11-28)

    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=31547 £12

    Not shore on this but.... Rear derailleur

    ether

    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=22764 £32

    or

    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=30631 £20

    Not shore on the right chain yet....

    maybe this?

    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=25431 £12

    or this maybe

    http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=175&category_id=7 £14

    The rear hope hub i have at the mo has, i think, only 20 or so engagement points in it! it's crazy! but i see the hope rear hub on tarty isn't cheap :( I think the cassette choise i have made here may fit on my current hub so i may be able to live with the old one till i can save enough to get a whole new rear wheel. :) I have a set of forks i can spray up and wack on too till i can get some nice sus. Maybe these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=47611 or something in that price range.

    I'm not a hard core brilliently skilled rider so i'm not looking for an apsolutely awesome oh my god set up but just something good value for money and reliable. :)

    Gearing-wise you'll be OK using Middleburns with 22t ring and an 8sp cassette. You can get an 8sp kool chain, but it's slightly too thick for 8sp really.

    Use a road bike cassette though, or at least something that's at most 22t on the largest ring.

    Super. I'll look into them :D

    At the mo i have an almost ridable bike so if i can get it up and running then i can save some pennies for bigger purchases such as forks, wheels ect. :) Will be really nice if i can get it built before the summer too. B)

    Hello guys, I'm building a trial bike, over time, around a pashley 26mhz. (i like the geo :P) But i want it to be a bike i can ride into town on a sunny day or go out in the trails but still ride a bit of trials. Hope that makes sense. I haven't got endless amounts of cash to flap under peoples noses so i just want to get parts that are good but reasonably prised. Anyone have any view's or ideas for parts i could use on this? I'm havent made to many decisions yet so i'm open to any suggestions. :)

    i had my eye on these forks http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/product/116985.html or something like them.

    Was thinking of going for cable disc on the front and V on the rear.

    Maybe 6 or 7 speed but what size chain ring on the front? :unsure:

    will more than likely go for V8's......

    stem choice?

    sorry if it's all a bit random.

    Any help would be great. Thank you. :D
