    Streety wheels

    it is not priority, I mean the alienation rim is out of choice, as I want good quality rims, but I am looking for some coloured options, as it is not essential, but preferable for example http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/173944-zoot-finally-ready-new-pics-added/?hl=spank vs http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/images/custom/bikes24/large_onzazoot2013.jpg For me personally the coloured rim version looks better somehow, and of course, I would not spend £100 on 2 rims and if I cannot find a coloured rim at reasonable price at goof quality, then the DMR will be my choice! And a question as it could make my choice easier: How hard is it to paint a wheel? JD did that if I remember well, I would look for somekind of metallic colour

    Streety wheels

    That is the reason why I made this topic I see them and they look nice, but they are black. I have a white and a black rim, and the coloured one look better, that is the reason why I am thinking about the alien ones maybe gold ones, and i can go full Ali C - the hope pro hub.- the Inspired arcade.

    Streety wheels

    The rim must be/should be more than 30 mm wide then? I am looking at Aliennator at the moment at CRC it is at nice price and good colour (I want my bike look cool ) is Maxxis Holy roller a good tyre? I think it should be, I saw loads of bikes using that
  8. Hello guys So I decided that I go with an Onza Zoot Pro built. I already have a disc+hs33 brakes, and I want to keep the DD option free for future, so the zoot wheels would not suitable for me. This is the part where I got confused: I would like to use my bike streety and trialsy, but I am just a beginner. Should I go with a cheaper freehub (around £50 max) or with a fixed hub (same price, I have a V!z FFW at the moment)? What rims should I use? Drilled one ,like the because ones from tarty, or something streety, like Dartmoore, Atomlabs, Spank, Aliennation,Halo? Are street rims heavy for trialsy use, or at my level it does not really matter? Spokes? the Halo spokes from tarty I reckon would be good guys, I know literally nothing about street trials wheels, could you help me out please?
  9. nice looking bike! how does the brakes perform?
  10. feather the breaking= brake lighlty and different powers? Well, you can but it does not work that well, so basically it is best used on and off for me at my setup it is basically just making sound, no brakepower, for fine braking my front disc is the best
  11. my rear `14 hs33 magura with grinded rim and Rockman green pads is deadly. it has two settings: off and your bike will stay on the spot where you pulled the brake while you try not to fall of the bike I love its power
  12. why would you? do they make such a difference? bear in mind I am a slowly progressing beginner, so I will not do 5 feet drops and 360 right away What about the other components? do you prefer any of it? Edit: http://www.wheelies.co.uk/p53497/DMR-Pro-24-inch-Rear-Wheel.aspx Would a rear wheel like this suit the street trials profile? I am not sure ho streety or how trialsy should I choose the wheels, as I have 0 experience with street bikes :/ Or maybe Dartmoor raider 24 rims? they are purple
  13. second will be just too much I reckon. for him should be fine though...
  14. yeah, i just did, Halo has the SAS rim, but for £50... anyway, is there a large difference in an undrilled street rim or a drilled trials rim? At the moment I have several questions regarding wheels, as I know nothing about street wheels and tyres: Which tyre should I go for? DMR Moto/digger, Maxxis Holy roller, or different one ?( from chain reaction cycles and tarty mainly) what with, 2.4 on both wheels? Which rim would suit this built the best: Alienation Deviant/PRM Inspired Team`10/new Because 24 drilled? Is there anything that I should check at wheels? it will be disc front and maggy rear What rear hub should I choose? Hope is waaay out of my budget. Should I go for a disc rear hub just in case if later I want to go DD?
  15. Ill send one first class tomorrow. would you PM me where should I send it? Goddammit, I am a d*ck
  16. just a question regarding wheels I might take a look around locally to see what 24 rims and wheels are they selling. I was looking for some undrilled rim, and they are 200g heavier then the drilled ones I am planning to ride trialsy (not planning to be the TGS king, just for fun) and streety (I know 0 trick so far). would an undrilled rim hold me back, are the 200g is that heavy? are they much stronger then the drilled ones, do they last longer ?( around the same price range of course) Or something like Inspired team `10 would be a good solution? I am looking for Alienation Deviant for example For drilled rim, I was looking for Because Rims Honestly I am looking for purple rims, to look nice on the frame
  17. I reckon in a day or two I will show you a part list, just to show what I am aiming for and you might have some good ideas as well
  18. Is there any other way instead of pictures to support him?
  19. That is not the final built (and I do not have any kind of info regarding chains, thanks for the heads up!) it was just to show how approx. it will look like, for example I am thinking about because wheels (I always wanted red wheels :/ )
  20. then it would worth to spend around the equal money for the zoot pro, thank you!
  21. yes, go on their website, there is a calculator where you can calculate the fees regarding deposit and run
  22. why? is the zoot pro with those part (with because wheels and deng rear hub) is much better for the same amount or a little bit more money as the normal zoot?
  23. I will give it a go, maybe I am thinking badly about it or I did not digged myself deep enough in the site
  24. My problem was I did not, but dammit, I give it a go I might go out on Tuesday as well, just to get familiar with the place more, but on Thursday ill be there for a long time
