  1. Just wondering. What does it weight in comparison to the Trialtech Sport light and its 760gr,?

    the Bonz Carbon 26" disc is 545 gr. So I loose a good 200 gr. which is a lot. She currently has the bonz Alu which is 810 gr. The complete bike now is at 7,9 kg so we with the current setup we would loose about 250gr.

  2. Thanks, found it but it is all in Chinese :( seems to be impossible to change it to English. Cannot contact the seller, I need to register and it is asking confirmation via e-mail. That part is in english but you confirm via a code you are texted but Belgium is not listed in the country list :(

    Any suggestions? it is the 26" disc version so the yseem have what I am looking for

  3. I am building my daughters 2015 competition bike. She will be riding an Ozonys customized Curve 24 V4. I wanted to get the Bonz Racing Carbon disc fork but that won't be available till sometime in March :(.

    Browsing the web I stumbled on an add at Aliexpress.com for a 26" Carbon Trials Disc fork from Born. Anybody seen this before? Is it available in Europe? A bit reluctant to order it on Aliexpress.com. I guess that if it arrives I will pay a lot of additional taxes.

    The rockman and Try-All carbon forks are both HS33 only and I need fork for disc brakes.

  4. Just wonder if there is a difference between 24" and 26 inch forks. Going to buildup a new 24" for Charlotte for the 2015 season and looking to different options. When I compare the specs on 24" and 26" they look the same f.e. the Bonz forks both have these specs:

    Axle to Crown length: 405mm
    Axle Offset: 25mm
    Steerer tube length: 200mm

    So wonder if a 26" fork would fit a 24" frame.

  5. Is that one of those things that follows you around? If so, how does it know where you are? Do you have to have some kind of wireless gadget on you? Oh and is there anything to stop it from flying into a tree etc whilst it's doing it? Sorry for all the questions, pretty curious! ha

    no it is not one that follows you around :) I fly the drone and do the filming. It has a wireless connection with my iPad or iPhone so I can see what I am filming. I can also tilt the lens up and down to get a better angle on my phone as well as start and stop filming or take a picture. It is stable as it has a good stabilizer integrated

    And no there is nothing that avoids flying it into the threes so you need to be a bit carefull :)

    I did not annoy her too much, it is not that the drone was right next to her.

  6. I don't have any experience with either of them. I use a stand from Tacx. these look more professional but the Tacx does it for me. I build up quite a nice number of wheels and use it for truing as well but it is not that I am doing this professional so the Tack does the trick.

    If you are using 20" rims you need to double check the stands work. Most of them cannot handle 20" rims. I can just manage on the Tacx but it is not ideal. Daughter switched to a 24" so it isn't an issue any more but definite something to check if you are going to use it on 20" wheels!

  7. Hi,

    Aurelien Fontenoy, who created Cross King gear for Trials, BMX, DH,... launched the Miss Cross King 2014 election again. My daugher who rides Trials (I Love Trial Bike For Girls) and is currently ranked 6 at the UCI ranking is participating in the election. Can you please support her by liking her picture on this link: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=590280861046299&set=a.590280774379641.1073741825.372068962867491&type=3&theater

    thx

  8. 1070, that is the 20" right? Don't know about the 20" but my daughter has been riding the 24" this year and is very happy with it. she has been riding the World Cups so and will using it in 2014 as well. don't know about the 20"

  9. What are those brake levers?

    They are BrakeForceOne http://www.brakeforceone.com. The front brake is the Tune Kill Hill which is the BrakeForceOne brake they have made lighter. The rear brake is the BrakeForceOne Lever with Magura Cylinders and was custom built by BrakeForceOne specifically for Charlotte. They also custom made the pink brake fluid to go with the bike. They don't have an oil reservoir as normal brakes but use an integrated hydrolic booster.

  10. It is the Hope Race brake with a lever that is 8mm longer. My daughter has been using this on her bike for a year now, the race version that is, and it works great and is very light. when we first mounted it some people were a bit sceptical but once they tried it they were impressed. The only change I made was on the disc. The race version comes with a vented disc and that does not work too well for Trials. I replaced the Hope with an Ashima disc.
