You could try getting one from holland: http://riccobikes.nl/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=51&category_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=41

Beauty! I now want to upgrade, thanks. That'll cost me. I can't help but wonder, how is the bike stood up in the 5th pic? :')

Probably bigger than your guns.

I clicked this three times without even realising... OT: Great video. Hated the music and the epilepsia triggering edits in some clips.

Well I'm glad that I now have one without holes.

For those curious, I examined my old chain. It's a KMC K810SL , if that means anything to anyone. Here's a picture of the snapped link.

I haven't a clue. May just have been a stupid coincidence making me think it was the new freewheel. It was a second hand bike, with a second hand chain. Could well have been the age I suppose. New chain works like a freakin' dream though.

Adam, Thanks for replying ever so quickly. I did bed it in, I rolled around the street and biked it around for an hour or two before pedal kicking or putting other heavy load on the freewheel, plus I threw some WD40 in there to get most of the grease out. I'm pretty sure the clacking noise was the chain, because it came off at one point. I think this is due to the misalignment. Could the alginment be fixed by taking off one link in the chain, so the hub is resting deeper in the dropouts? I'm not sure what chain I was using but it broke, so it's in the bin now! I'm using a KMC Z610HX now. I fitted the old freewheel back on and all is well. I'll try fitting the new one sometime soon.

Gentlemen, I recently swapped out my monty 18t freehweel for a try-all 108.9 17t freewheel. When I started riding I heard a few loud clicks coming from the chainline, which worried me a bit. They did not return. However, after riding for an hour, perhaps two, my chain snapped! Any idea how this could have happened? I never had issues with the monty and the spacing is exactly the same, my chainline is perfectly straight. (except for the wobble in the BB, but that didn't cause an issue with the monty freewheel) I did figure out why the brake mounts were mislined, I did not shorten the chain causing my wheel being too far back in the dropouts.

I'm having troubles the other way around. After a couple of weeks I feel I have backhops down. I can hop up to 30/40 cm and stay balanced on the back wheel for approx 10 to 20 second before dropping to front again. I learnt it by pedal kicking and pulling back. Found my balance point quite quickly and practised to squeeze the brake at the appropriate time. I recognize the troubles you're having with endos. I can't do a 180 either, also getting stuck at 90 degrees. I do however have problems with wheelies, not to even mention manuals.

Loved the old guy that was scared to bits. Great video, enjoyed it and makes me want to ride my bike right now.

I don't know the shop, but they seem okay. The do ship internationally using TNT but the cost will be hefty. If I were you I'd check out http://www.tartybikes.co.uk. Great service, standard shipping costs and a buttload of parts and frames to choose from!

I once did a course to learn how to type with my eyes shut. They used little round stickers to cover up the letters. Efficiënt and reversable. Does not work well in conjunction with sweaty hands, but keep some spare stickers in case.

Haha, will do up a black rim after this one. Perhaps I'll spray it, but I'm not gonna re-spoke it. Once the front budges I'll get a new one, or use this as a spare...

Agreed; but this was the only thing at hand which fitted my budget. My main cause for the bike is for me to be able to ride.

Got the build done a couple of weeks ago, but now after riding it for a few days I found the time to post a pic! Excuse the HUGE-ness.

You'd be better off using nitrogen.

I'm guessing your problem has been solved?

Why don't we respect one anothers preferences when it comes to trials? Don't get me wrong, I haven't been into trials for a long time, actually I just started getting into it. The vids I have seen of brakeless riders do seem to carry a style of their own, but they would still classify as trials. Maybe not by UCI standard, but hey f**k it. At the end of the day we're all in this for the fun of it right, so why not let the rider decide what's fun for them? I don't see why there's such an uproar about brakeloss not being pure trials. It isn't pure trials, but it's trials nonetheless.

Sounds good; will it straight fit onto a monty XXV fork with a trialtech sport hub? This is the hub: http://www.biketrial.si/shop/images/Trialtech_sport_front_disc_hub_03.jpg

It'll set me back about 30 quid without the disc. I am indeed a beginner, but I'd like to have decent gear that'll last me. A no go you would say?

Gentlemen, Hope you all had a nice weekend. I'm still looking for a front disc break and came a cross an Avid Juicy 3.5. Anyone got any experience with this? Also; I need some pointing towards the right direction when it comes to discs. The guy in question is selling it w/o a disc so I'll need to buy one. Thanks in advance, Hessel

Enjoy. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Does this count as 'Not before 2AM'?
