As I said. Nothing special really. This is the result of the first proper ride with this bike. I f**king love it. Even just cruising around the skate park is more fun than the TGS I attempted to do these past months. I have to admit though that sidehops and gaps are horrible in comparison to my Rockman. I am still getting my bunny hops back. This is why I didn't go to a higher wall. I want to get the technique dialed first. I can probably jump to rear twice the height of the bunny hop onto the wall (which isn't really high anyways :D). Manuals are kinda weird as I keep falling backwards and have to pull the brake. Problem is that the MT5 with Trialtech pads is so strong that between slightly slowing down during a manual and blocking the rear wheel is just 1mm lever pull. I also have to get another rotor for the front. The Trialzone isn't really good for this brake. The Avid CS2 on the rear works rather well.

The fourplay has a +20mm mount on the rear?

Won't work properly. Hashtagg has a 14mm piston the Magura Mt levers 10mm.

I'll put some 810 or 665 levers on there as soon as possible. The Magura ones are horrible.

That gap to front at the end.

Thanks. So I will go on holding onto the lever. I rode the 4play yesterday and as it doesn't have a front brake yet, it was kinda weird not having one finger out, weird in a good way though. I really like the front wheel spinning fast after a bunny hop. If I have a front brake, its closed as soon as the front wheel leaves the ground.

Cool. Thanks. I think mine are almost at this angle. Another question I have. I see Ali riding without his finger on the brake lever (at least for the front). Is it even possible to do a run up jump and then in mid air put the finger on the lever for the up to front?

Just wondering since this is my first street trial bike. Is the bar angle alright?

How come? Many MTB riders swapped the MT5/7 levers with Shimano 810/820 levers and couldn't be happier. @Martin Direske did this as well.

Will do in due time. Video is nothing to be very anxious about. I am still a shit rider.

Same as in same bike or same bunny hop easiness?

Got it so cheap I cannot believe it's true. The guy bought it three years ago and rode it for like 5 times. There's not even a scratch. Somehow he managed to break the front brake but as I'm going to ride the MT5s anyways, I don't care. Unfortunately I couldn't get the bars in a different color for the price I paid (half of the Arcades) but I don't really care. I took it on a short ride today and was impressed on how easy bunny hops are even after not having done them for three years. Not that I can jump very high (50cm to rear). I tried to manual as well and I think I will be able to do this consistently by the end of this year. IMG_20161007_182030 by niconj, auf Flickr IMG_20161007_182040 by niconj, auf Flickr

I cannot really pinpoint why, personal preference I guess. The only thing I'd complain about the helmet thing is that if you throw a white helmet to someone, he cannot catch a black one.

For me it was quite the contrary. Loved the riding of the second guy. The last guy well...

I won't even be riding the Truvativ and mount the Bonz right away. I won't be able to tell whether the Bonz are on par with the Arcades...

A new 1finger lever is available. Pretty expensive though.

That seems to be the consensus of this forum but the Bonz might be up there as well. I just ordered them for about half the price of the arcades. As I don't have any real comparison I probably cannot say whether they are any better or worse than the Truvativ Holzfeller the bike comes with.

Pretty difficult for rims though if you don't have the tools.

1kg I got it of Amazon. Natriumhydroxid, dunno what it is called in English other than caustic soda. If you need a rear tyre, I've got a Schwalbe Fat Albert in 24'' I'm willing to part with.

Lol, I copy pasted it. Here are the numbers from trial-bikes. Dimensions - Length: 720mm - Upsweep: 5º - Backsweep: 9º - Total rise: 95mm

Had a quick look. In theory 7075 should be the more durable material.

Bonz claims 375. The Photoshop might be incorrect. I don't know whether the pictures from above are taken from the very front. The Bonz should be lower in my photoshop.

I tried my photoshop skills. Arcade in red. Looking at the picture it shouldn't make much of a difference geometry wise. The Bonz is a bit steeper where the grips go but it seems to be only by a margin. I don't grip on the very outside of the bars either. The further in, the less the difference is noticeable, but this is just theory.

I was looking into bars and the Arcade seem to be the choice for 24'' street bikes. I came around the Bonz Prolight and it seems to have almost the identical measurements. Would it be a good choice to buy it? It's cheaper than the Arcade which seems to be a bit overpriced in my opinion. The difference is 1° more Upsweep, 10mm less rise and 20mm less width. What do you recon? What about the difference in the material? Arcade 7050-T6: Geometry: - Upsweep: 4° - Backsweep: 9° - Total rise: 102mm - Width: 730mm (28.35") Bonz 7075-T6 Geometry: - Upsweep: 5° - Backsweep: 9° - Total rise: 90mm - Width: 710mm (28.35")
