In more helpful news; If you've never had a desire for better performance from the standard Hope pads, get those again.
If you want to try something new and the reviews are good, by all means give the NPs a shot
Ok thanks, no reviews had been left on chainreaction so I thought I would try and get some on here.
-
Is that in the same way that Dick doesn't have to mean Richard?
Indeed. However I have corrected the error now, Nuke Proof pads are available in DH, Enduro and Trail. So back on topic, what pads should I go for? Hope or one of the Nuke Proof pads?
-
Presumably the trials ones, or is that too simple?
Oops, haha I got the 'i' and the 'a' the wrong way around, so, not Trial, but Trail. However If there was a 'Trials' pad then yes that would be the best.
-
I've been looking for some new brake pads for my Hope mono trial so I decided to shop around to see what would be best. Initially I would have gone with Hope pads, however while shopping around I found that Nuke Proof make brake pads for the mono trial brake. Therefore I would like to know if anyone has used these pads before and if they are better than the Hope ones.
The Nuke Proof's are available in 3 different types, DH, Enduro and Trail, each with a different spec, so if I were to buy Nuke Proof pads instead of Hope I would also like to know what type would be the best for trials.
Thanks,
James.

I think it will have to be a BMX freehub (if you choose a freehub over a freewheel) however be careful choosing as some makes have an opposite set up, the freehub bit on the left instead of the right.
-
im pretty sure the ns hubs are 135mm.
Just had a look through them and it seems they are all 135mm. What Dj frame have you got as I thought 135mm rear axle was pretty much the standard, but I may have been wrong.
-
Ah I see, I know Profile make a freehub but not with splines on like the Pro2's but instead it has a single sprocket which you can pick the size you want (I think). I know Ns also make freehubs which a Dj and street specific but I'm not sure if they come in 110mm length.
-
If you want something really loud then you'd what to get a freehub (instead of a freewheel), the new Hope Pro2 Evo in particular, extremely loud but also very expensive. The Halo freehubs are quite loud too; best thing with a freehub is that you can just slide on whatever size sprocket that you want.
-
Alright cheers for the feedback, I'll continue my hunt for a tyre combo for my 26" build then, or at least a different front tyre to buy.
-
That’s a beauty. What’s your opinion on the tyre combo your running at the mo as I was thinking about getting a Queen and King for my Fans build.
-
That was smashin', some really impressive stuff. Bmxer in the background at 00:46 pulled a huge spin from a fakie too.
-
That looks smashing! as for the BB, I had the same problem with my TrialTech BB as the tool didn’t fit over the spacer on the non-drive side, so I just put the non-drive side cup in first then the drive side, took a bit of playing about with to get the correct amount of threads in and tightness but I got there in the end and it works great.
-
I had this problem too, I just screwed them in as far as they would go, measured how much was still sticking out, then used a hack saw to trim the amount I had measured off of the end, then de-burred the end down with a file so it would screw into the thread smoothly. Just take little bits off at a time until you have the desired length.
-
I've got some V!Z Pro 720's on my mod and they seem to be ticking all the boxes, love the feel of them and they are as light as a feather, well nearly
, however they are quite pricey, I've also used the TrialTech bars and they feel really good too and they're not as expensive as the V!Z ones. -
I love the green rim tape on the white rims....maybe down to the fact that that’s what I have on my mod haha. Are you going for a similar green to that of the 2011 Inspired? I can't wait to see it finished, it will most definitely stand out.
-
Not sure, depends on what speed the cassette is (how many sprockets there are on the block), however if I were you I'd scrap the gears and definitely go single speed.
-
Well done mate, keep it up. Seeing it's an un-named rim it’s probably a good idea not to grind it
, I hate slippy pedals; you just end up with tonnes of holes in your shins. As for the BB5, I've only ever heard good things about them, a lot cheaper than a hydraulic brake too, I'm thinking about getting one for my stock that I'm currently building. -
I'm not sure, if Tarty only have them with aluminium backings then I'm guessing that’s the only way they come. Also I grinded my rim the other day to make my brake perform better and I'm very pleased with the outcome, by far the best brake set up I have had on the back, so if you do get yellows I suggest putting a medium grind on your rim. Just need to practise mate, takes a while to get the hang of but once you have you'll be trying all sorts.
-
The riding was good but the music choice wasn't.
-
To be perfectly honest I think it was inevitable that most of those lines were going to end with a big fat bail!
Edit: Don't be a skid, wear a lid!
-
Glad to see you finally got a bike mate!! Looks pretty good too
. Talking about pads, I recently bought myself some Heatsink yellows (plastic backings) for my rear Maggie, I previously had green Neon pads (for smooth rims) and they worked well but only when freshly clean, anyway, I fitted my heatsinks the other day and so far I can’t fault them, I haven’t got around to grinding the rim yet but they hold brilliant at the moment so I might leave it smooth for a while. -
Do you reckon it's worth starting a topic where riders can input good spots to ride in their local scenes as a reference for visiting riders??
If you do this I think you should have to upload a picture or pictures of the spot/location, as well as information about it.
-
Oh my gosh! I don't see how most of the stuff he did in that vid would be possible without a chain. Crazy I tell you!!
-
He did a whole video where he shits all over anyone normal without a chain.
I don't suppose you know what it was called or have a link to it? I would definitely like to see some chainless trials.
