  1. Profile Hub

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Yeh but there is very little wear in hubs anyway, I've been running my Pro2 completely dry for over a year, never had any problems. (Well snapped a spring once, but doubt that was effected by it).

    Is there an advantage to running a dry hub?

  20. Does Anyone Out There Ride By Themself? :(

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    I spend most of my time riding alone.There a 2hr drive to next closest rider,we get together for a ride every 2 weeks so its not to bad.

    i find riding by yourself if your keen,you learn thing quicker and get more things dialed.The main reason i see is because your out to ride and not talking crap with your mates,so you focus alot more on the riding and it makes you better.

    Yh i know and sometimes if your with a bunch of people you can sometimes be considered as unusual because you don't sit there playing xbox for days on end.

    But back on topic i just got a trials bike so im hoping at least one of my mates are gonna get one otherwise i will have to ride on my own or with my mates on like bmxs.

  23. Disk Brakes Or Hydraulic Rim Brakes

    Both offer their pros and cons.

    Many Trials riders prefer to use a rim brake on the rear, because generally they offer better hold if set up well and a disc brake up front for more modulation, to help with things like stoppies and front wheel moves etc. Having said that though there are many mod riders nowadays that go down the dual disc route. Discs can be pretty damn powerful on mods but not so much on stock, because of the laws of physics. (bigger wheels)

    Discs can be hard to maintain as well and are a lot easier to break than a rim brake because of the rotor being vulnerable to hitting. With rim brakes, they are generally more tucked away. If anything should go wrong, the rim brake is generally cheaper to repair than a disc also. Also, if you have some big ass rotors on there, they can weigh a lot more that the rim brakes.

    EDIT: Yer, pretty much what the guy above me said. (Y)

    What do you mean by modulation?
