Just curious as to what the norm is. Alot of people talk about Hope Pro2 Trials as 'the best hub', but I thought a FFW was standard on good trials bikes, so you couldn't be a Pro2 Trials rear hub?

Words of wisdom Rob. You can get deep.

What about juicy 7's? I have one on the front and it's amazing =)

Not if you make a couple of quality posts. Read the validation guide in the NMC if you haven't already.

Ah OK. I was looking at 26". What sort of bike are you looking for? Like he said, validation is the easiest way to get good bikes cheap =)

Which bike are you talking about in this post?

Yeah me too lol, I'm pretty sure Ryan Leech made up the name Zap Tap for it, so that it didn't sound simple anymore lol.

I'm pretty sure they're different? A zap tap is where you elevate the front wheel onto an object and then lift the back up separately once the front is on, and a pedal up is where you use the pedals to elevate the front wheel AND lift the bike (as well as using body weight), or something along those lines, is my understanding of it.

Haha, I think I got the last one =P

I don't have a file lol. I guess the only sensible option is to get one.

Because there has previously been a normal mtb cassette on the hub, the cogs had dug into the hub where they were and caused grooves which stick up and prevent me from putting spacers or the new cog on it. Any suggestions with ways to fix this without damaging the hub so it won't work? Thanks?

I've heard from people (when I asked the same question lol) that 4-bolts aren't that much better (if at all) than 2-bolts nowadays. Just get a decent 2-bolt.

I can't seem to find much about this anywhere, other than the usual Ot Pi stuff. There must be more to it than that (I'm just curious as to how people would have worked out about the techniques and stuff.)

I'm sort of prejudiced because I've never ridden a mod. But they look so goddamn retarded lol.

Ah. Maybe I'll just wait until my next bike lol. How is 22:19? Since I already have a spare 19t cog.

Happy for you =) I think I'm gonna take a picture of my bike just in case this happens, since I haven't yet. You must be a big guy to scare a house full of chavs shitless lol.

Yes. I know. Like I said, I'm considering my options.

This may sound sort of noobish, but is the freewheel an alternative to a chainring? Is that what you're saying? So I'd just need a freewheel, cranks that fit it and a bashring (and BB)? Thanks for the info so far

What's wrong with a normal bashring (like an Echo Urban or Neon Light, the two I like most lol) with Middleburns? What's different about Middleburns?

The way I do it is just to inflate the tyres quite fully and then gradually deflate them yourself after riding stuff so that over time you find a pressure you like personally. This way, you can go on what you like rather than what other people like and won't miss any out as you go down step by step. Try not to get it too low though, pinch flats are the most annoying thing ever..

Any ideas as to good ones? Chances are, I'll just use a bigger cog at the back, but I'm just considering my options

The thing is, I need a rear cog with 15t or less, but because of gear ratios this means I need a chainring with 18t and tarty only stock 20t and 22t. Anybody know how I can get a trials-suitable chainring?

Well thats another thing added to my shopping list then, as well as handlebars and a tensioner. Thanks for the help.

Well that was only the quickest reply in the history of anything. I salute you. Are the trialtech ones better than four bolt boosters, say, an Echo control or Urban? Because it makes sense to me that it would be more rigid with four bolts than two?

I thought as much. But they do look sooooooo cool. On another note, is a brake booster worth it? Trialtech sport booster for example?
