Welcome to the club, i'm afraid.

I feel like trials is 90% rose tinted glasses if I remember right, back when you would've had those ratios you would've been more pedalling up walls instead of bunnyhops? (So, less speed required)

So I bought a Hex to be my brakeless bike, the ratio I've always run is 18:15 on stock and 18:12 on mod. Can anyone shed some light on using any of the different ones? I'm not asking what they do, obviously 18:14 is harder but faster, what's your experience with them in terms of the moves like sidehops, static gaps and the trade off of speed and power? also, @Ali C, what ratio are you running in your 2010 brakeless hex video? Cheers.

I became acutely aware about how much my trials skills were actually lacking- plenty of lines I couldn't do, plenty of general things I couldn't do, So I built this up to sort of restart and learn the skills properly, not just kinda-half learn them so I can say I've done them and just do "cool" stuff instead, even though throughout trials I always envied the people who can seriously move their bike around, not the spinny people. its been a fair while and the improvements I can physically see is mental. Being brakeless for a long time has definitely helped my overall balance, and every ride I feel improvement. It's great. The frame is a little old school, but high bb's do not agree with me, it seems.

there is a bolt through for the skyes and crewkerz bikes too if i remember correctly. no idea if they can be converted...

which deore? cable? hydraulic? vee?

I've seen worse. That front end is crazy low though

cant believe this hasnt been posted.. or maybe it has. either way, here it is again:

not sure on shipping to France, can you recommend a good courier/postal service?

yes all for sale

i take mine off. In trials you look down a lot or your head is down and you're looking up, so they're just an inconvenience. I've also had them fly off on me a couple times just my experience though.

I have 3 of these, All fresh out of their boxes. Leon nabbed the only red one

Gorgeous! I have 3 brand new white and turquoise zebdis too if anyone wants one

for any trials rider thats a dream job. id apply if i had half a chance!

Yeah a fairly neutral 26. Feels great, I'm just bad lol

Now that I've moved back onto a normal trials bike, I've finally realised how much of my riding "ability" was being able to bunnyhop up big stuff and spin. My balance is shocking, and that really, REALLY upsets me. I guess that was the point of moving back to a normal bike, to actually improve.

They've been flying off shelves for years, best bars ever made! The carbons are a smidge (4mm I believe) lower rise

Looks clean!

Fantastic. tech is life

few clips from recent events. bikes are fun!

in general, 175mm is for stock to match the ratio of the gearing and wheel size, whereas mod are 165mm for the same reason, just a smaller wheel and thus smaller cranks. 170/175mm cranks on a standard setup mod (18:12 gearing) will feel "light" and some prefer that feeling of a bit more leverage. but you wont be going any faster. haha

Dip the cloth in it while its still melted? Because it hardens almost instantly unless it's constantly heated

its amazing how much your style has changed. i felt like i was watching someone else
