    Earlier this year I spent all my money to this.

    Did the same thing but I don't regret it as I don't do trials anymore. :)

    I have ordered a Formula Selva fork but other than that, it'll stay like this for now.

    Bar angle level with top tube.

    That's how I set it up. I was told on pinkbike that I should roll them forward which I did today. Makes a huge difference in takeoffs. I nearly crashed because I was jumping too far. Took some time to get used to but now I feel really comfortable with the setup.

    Thanks, didn't realise it was such a hi res pic until I clicked it! It's a bit irritating as I'd like to fit a front brake. Could rebuild the wheel with a new hub I suppose...

    Well... it's very twitchy and it'll take some time to get used to. My Canyon is so much more stable in the air but then again, it doesn't flick around as easy. The Dirt Love is my first Dirt Jump bike and today was the first proper ride. I dunno how to jump yet but I have cleared the first small table already. :)

    Here's a video of the bike. A Hope Pro 4 Trials hub is on order already and yes, the front doesn't have a disk mount.

     

    And here's a vid of myself doing the first jumps on it.

    Trials is for life, not just for Christmas.

    What are you talking about. I love street trial riding a lot but at my new home there are only curbs and mountains so there's nowhere I can actually ride. That's why I got the Canyon in the first place. I'll get a dirtjumper sooner or later though.

    I don't even know what bitch cranks are (not even after having watched Ali's rules video). What I do know is that this video amazes me and there's nothing about it that I don't like (bitch cranks included).

    I'm just getting into natural, was bored of street, think we doing Higgor Tor next.

    Funny you should say that. I'm annoyed by the spots I have around my new home. Only natural spots and no street whatsoever.

    plus if you're riding brakeless fixed you've probably got a better skillset than your average dickhead on a bike. 

    This. I worked 8 years as a bike messenger, three of which I rode brakless. I hated when people came up to me telling me that I'm endangering others whilst old people rode their brake(less, as in brakes didn't work) bikes all over the place and nobody really cared.
