  1. It IS definately worth trying. I got a stock cable disk brake on the front end of my Onza bike and it works awesome. Best I've ever tried unless you care about power of your finger pushing a lever. My onza cable works way better than some of my mates' Mono trials.

  2. You learn to keep the balance up "playing" your brakes AND body, too. It's not necessary to block the bike: you have to feel which way it wants to move. When you turn your handlebar aside, the bike will try to move back, so you have to push a pedal slightly stronger than just putting your foot on it. Also, when the bike is about to collapse - use the brake not to lose it. It's all about practice actually, you should be doing well in a few days if you train according to the video posted above. Good luck.

  3. The thing is not about how many of you riding. It's about showing your efforts off: you can shoot a homemade porn with your girlfriend but you'd better keep it in your home library if she's fat - none would like to see a fat ass even if you're pulling weights and own a 35cm cock. It's the same here: nobody cares wether you got a pimp ozonys or how many local riders you got in the area you usually train at, but the video which is shown to any community should woth seeing, otherwise, prepare for criticism. Nice try anyway, cheers.

  4. Baaaasically, why are companies making all these light weight frames when more riders ride street? (I have no prove but I'm sure most would agree). And which silly person decided to make light weight frames for street... All the companies need to sort some things out.

    That's why there are two main classes of modern frames being manufactured: there are competition and street ones. Zoo lynx and Echo still last longer for 250 bucks even if bash stones outside of your town, while you can get some latest Koxx or Rockman model twice priced and ruin it after a few rides. I believe a skilled rider can handle both heavy- and light-weighted frames with the same high-skill of riding while newcommers just keep buying the new frames and breaking those b/c being stupid. I will agree: you always have to accept a probabilty of ANY frame to be cracked by it depends on how tough you ride it.

  5. The thing is you need a MONO cylinder to be run in a disk brake for decent braking power, which is necessary in trials riding. There is no need to buy a new hub at the moment if you are unsure how good that disk brake is unless you have tried. Get some fork with 4-b + disk mounts, and you will be able to get a decent brake with a hub, too later. Also, validated.

  6. It doesn't rly matter wether u got a rim or disk brake on the front end of your bike if you're a starter: the brake system just must work fine. When u "grow up" in trials, you will be able to decide which kind of braking power you prefer: disk modulation or maggie stiffness. Also, my choice is front disk brake. If you decide upgrading to it - Hope mono trials or Avid BB7 are the only options available for trials using.
