  2. Bottom Bracket Height

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Lower BB makes the bike more stable when on two wheels, easier to loft into a bunnyhop or manual. Higher BB makes the bike more stable on the back wheel but can make it harder to loft the front, its also less stable on both wheels because of the higher centre of gravity. The high BB bikes with longer wheelbase dont always feel that long (after all 1080 is only 15mm longer than yours now which can be mostly taken out using short rake forks) because the reach is about the same, with a high bar and stem they can feel really flicky.

    Best thing to do is play about with a couple of different stem geometries and find what suits you best, if youre still new to trials and learning, then its hard to say how changes to your bike setup will affect your riding. For a +10 BB I would imagine something like a 110-120mm x 12-15* rise would be about right for your height. Im the same size as you and ride a triton deema with 1085, 385, +35, using a trialtech sport bars and forged stem and it feels just perfect for me for how I ride; my only complaint is that I cant really bunnyhop it easily as Im not tall enough.

    Someone with more experience will probably be along soon to tell you the complete opposite :D

    dont worry i think your post was enough experienced thanks :Dhmm so i think iam gonna get some new stem o well new stem means that i must go and print some money tomorrow i mean go to work and earn some ofcourse...

    what do you think of trialtech stem TRIALTECH SPORT 120X17?

    I think this will be a bit unusual question/discussion.... well i was told by my friend that more high your bottom bracket that higher you can get and and its easier to gap and all stuff... that seems logical for me and it really like that

    i have a pitbull 07

    this should be the geo

    wheelbase:1065 mm

    Chainstay:375mm

    Bottom bracket(BB)height:+10mm

    a topic about this was on observed someone said that a short stem would make it a real street machine so i want to know what is meant by short...something like this?short stem

    or something like thisMy actual stem length or similiar

    i want to ride street mainly but i also ride on the pallets and kind of that stuff match i dont ride on rock very often only like 2times in 4 months? :D

    so what should i do i also feel when i put my front wheel on 3 pallets i ha ve problems with moving the rear on while helping with front brake.

    iam not that much long so i like the length of this frame but BB is just not very good if i will want to change but stay at 26 the bb with +50mm are 1080mm long and more (iam 5 feet, 7 inches. tall) so what do you think should i do? :D dont know if this topic is even readable cause i was getting the information about this while writing it....

    Thanks Dušan

    hey guys ive noticed that everytime iam on rear i hold not only rear but also front i dont know i just do it cause i always have one finger on the brake so.... do you think i should change it? i ve already started to learn to do thing u p to front and stuff like that but cant get it do you think it may be because i just hold my front all the time while on rear? how many of you do the same ? should i change it or its okay?

  9. Good Instructional Vids

    there is not difference in trial techniques on mod/stock its all the same....in my opinion

    try to download (legal ofcourse :P ) or go youtube and type in Ryan Leech mastering the art of trial (the thing you want to learn for example pedal kick) It doesnt matter if you ride mod or stock the difference is maybe in hmm pedal ups... cause you dont need that much pedal strokes on stock like on mod (mine opinion :D) but i dont see any difference maybe that mod riders use thier bashplate so much which is so lame in my opinion (N)

    you ride bad so you want to give up....how about to show your vid so we decide how you ride....The trials should be fun something that you enjoy everytime you do that... yea i also have stupid days and sometimes also weeks so i ride less you cant learn everything within yeaar...theoretically you can learn everything but in practice you will do it on very low heights and it will look like trying to run before you can walk

    just pracitce and practice and you will getter better...

  16. Lifting The Front Wheel

    try it differently for me the best way was that i found some little wall put my front on top and starting to do back hops on rear when i mastred that i try to hop to front and that way you will also learn pedal kick :)this skill is really just about practice for me it was also unbelievable but you can get it for sure ;)
