  1. ok il do the grind hopefully i wont much it up :L
  2. ok thanks ive got a new fsa 22t chainring which il put on and chris what do you mean by a grind on the wheel :L and in your opinion are shimano deore v-brakes good, on my mtb theyre dead stoppers,but can they handle the ruff and tumble of trial biking?
  3. chris.. .thankyou. you havecleared my mind! at last i think im going to build this: heavy tools(i hear its a trials bike frame!) fsa x-drive w. bashguard crankset-32t chainring wellgo v8-copys 26" Double rimmed front wheel single speed conversion rear... what size should i go with? 18t, 17t, 15t, or 11? the forks, im just going to see which is lightest handle bars- either general riser mtb handle bars or bmx style(with re-enforced bar joining the two sides of handle bars, like this one:http://www.tredz.co.uk/.DMR-Wingbar-Cro-Mo-Handlebars_16894.htm?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=froogle but the dmr ones would be more heavy and if i need it a single speed chain tensioner superstar components o and on my jump bike im trying to do a rear wheel hop.. any tips?
  4. o ok, geos being geonomatry (sorry for spelling) and the high bb's, do they go in the bottom bracket? sorry ive just never heard these terms befor :L
  5. thanks thats really usefull another point on the 26" wheels, would it be easyer to learn and do tricks with smaller wheels? o and what are geos? thanks again
  6. hi im new to trial biking, i have been into 'jump biking' and 'mountain biking' ive built a few bikes in my time, so i know what im talking about. my aim of this project is too make a light weight, inexpensive and strong trials bike and ive got a few questions: first can you use a standard jump bike frame? because i currently have 3 jump bike frames waiting to be used and i have noticed that if they have a v-brake it is on the back, can you put one on front and back(to save weight) and i personly think they are easyer to mantain compared to disk xD also can i use 26" wheels, and if i do will i be able to do the kind of things the 'pros' do after a lot of practice(i know i wont be able to straight off, it will take a lot of time :L) last question: i am using rigid forks but i have 2 types in my arsenal a bit like these two: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/eXotic-JUMP-CREATURE-Carbon-Dirt-Street-Fork-40-5cm-/200506533667?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item2eaf1ee723 and http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GT-Rigid-Fork-Disc-mounts-1-1-8th-steerer-/170531847316?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item27b47d7c94 which style should i use? i want to only use the parts i have (ie the forks, wheels, frame ect) and to make it as light weight as possible many thanks sam
