  2. Spanish BB axle for splined cranks

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Got an echo sl frame, takes spanish BB if i'm correct. Have one on my NS, and I run 19mm BMX cranks, but the cranks I have for my trials bike use threaded BB for some try-all cranks (splined). Since I need to get just an axle for the cranks, as I have bought some bearings separately, where could I get one? 

    Must be googling wrong thing as I can't find anything..

    crc.

    Sun Ringle Rhynolite XL Welded rims, solid and with eyelits and great rims. Cheap, £20 for a 32H

    Very nice rims, don't go for Ns Trailmasters as the nipples rip out.

    I wouldn't bother getting a new frame, I think you should save up and just get a new bike, it will actually be cheaper.

    No it wouldn't, I was going to get a 2nd hand frame under £100 so it's all good and the parts will do me for now.

  6. Dirt Jump/street Or Trials Bike

    If I was knew to the DJ/street scene, I would go for a Ns traffic, or p.3 as they are dirt jumping machines, have a look at the Ns Majestys they are alos known for being good for DJ, very good. The best you can get for DJ is a banshee Amp, or so they say. Yeah caps are nice for street, my is so easy to chuck about and with rigids its a win. I dunno if I would do DJ on it as its short and a bit high but could be done if you are just starting off but then again the cap is up their so maybe start more near the beginner frames.

    So there are handful of pictures, im sure you can google/pinkbike any brand of jump frame and find equally as many pictures of frame/part fails.

    If you hammer a frame from jumping there are always going to be stress points that give after a while, and there are a lovely set of examples of DMR's ones.

    Still doesn't discredit them as a manufacturer, its just perils of doing the sport that parts break.

    I stand by my comment.

    Do you see this much of a sub or fourplay?

    may I ask why suspension is needed for street?

    You can pretty much do any kind of riding on any bike, street and trials are kinda the same, the same changes in geo give the same results, shorter back end for easy rearwheel stuff (backhops, manuals, bunnyhops, spins), higher bb for faster spins, steep head angle for nicer front wheel moves.

    It just so happens that street mtb is about 5 years behind everyone else (though is catching up fast these days in terms of geo).

    My overall opinion is that the geo of trials frames (Inspired Hex 26" and fourplay 24") are more suited to trials than a street frame, but ALSO more suited to street than most "street" frames too.

    Maybe so about the Hex and fourplay being suited to street, but the street frames you can get by other makes than trials are very good, also people probaly just like the feel and at the end of the day, it's all down to personal preference.

    NS Capital, Suburban, Doberman Molosse, Blkmrkt Riots, all these are amazing frames for street. I know someone that runs street with a fourplay as he alos beleives that trials frames are very good for street;

    Erm, why?

    DMR, snappy happy. There parts like cranks, rims and pedals are okay but people I know who have had DMRS and have snapped them (mostly DJ) Just stay away from DMR frames and forks.
