    I bought one of Ryan's bikes off pinkbike awhile back, a manifesto with a few prototype parts.  It was cool as could be.  Also, it was like riding trials on bus made out of turd covered bricks.  It made me respect him a million times more

    Have got hold of a leech frame. Don't suppose yanyone knows if Duke forks can be modified down to 40mm travel to get the geo right? BB looks like it's going to be a bit low with trialtrch forks.

    Either keep the xcs or get a pro2t. No point going middle ground with the bulb really. Pro2ts are a much better hub (stronger axle, better bolts, better bearings aside from twice the engagement) so if you can get one on the rear I'd recommend it. Keep the xc front though.

    D521s hold grinds really well :)

    Great useful answer - cheers mate!!

  10. Which Mountain Bikes Can Handle Trials?

    Dunno what sort of racks your thinking, but you could get one of the seatpost mounted ones and pop a we plastic plug in saddle in yer bag then swap once you are where you wanna be.

    Got the rack - it's a blackburn that my child seat is deisgned to fit. I'm a trials daddy!

    Maybe something like an Identiti frame? I've always fancied building up a dr Jekyll!

    I like the idea but since it hasn't got rack mounts already, I'd need to braze some on, but yee can't braze aluminium.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    There is always loads of dmr frames for sale on eBay etc dunno about riding trials on one seen a few photos of them built like that. If I was you I'd be looking at jeff lenosky's bikes for inspiration.

    Ah yes cheers Jambo - was looking at DMR sidekicks / trailstar. Ideally if there was somethin that already had the right braze-ons but I guess that's asking alot.

    Back int' day there wasn't really such thing as a 26" trials bike. A small dual slalom frame was the best it got. You can do trials (albeit with a bit more difficulty than on modern bikes) on pretty much anything. I started on a 19" rockhopper :P

    My mate had an azonic ds1, seemed to serve him well. Any small frame, with preferably shortish chainstays and a highish bottom bracket should be alright.

    Cheers tomturd (do you have a low opinion of yourself?)

    I was thinkin about a trusty rockhopper too - I've had a steel one before but that was before I got into trials. Don't know anything about Azonics. will look into it - thanks

    I going to build a multi-purpose second bike.

    It needs to have rack mounts to carry camping gear and my 2 year old boy, take magura's on the rear and be strong so I can have a little trials sesh when out cross-country riding.

    I'm guessing it to be no more than a 16" frame and preferably made of steel.

    Does anyone have any ideas of what frame could work for me?

    I was thinking of something like an oldish small-framed steel Specialised Rockhopper. There must be stronger / more durable bikes that have rack mounts though?

    Any help appreciated
