    Kmc Chains

    I can. I read a lot on bmx forums and the 510 is a very popular chain there. Most of the people recommend it and mention it as one of the first, when someone's asking "what chain is the best..." and so on Plus I really feel that I can trust this chain. That's almost as important as the specs of a chain (at least for me). E.g. I can't trust a kool chain... don't know why... maybe because you read more about snapped kools than about 510s... at least in trials forums.

    Word! That's the chain I've been running for years... It's cheap and reliable! I replace the chain every three months though. Safety first
  6. Have a look at this home made chain tensioner, I'd say it's pretty cool. And it will be really hard to break, due to the small size, plus it is very close to the frame so there is hardly any part you can land on!

    lightweight chains = I would never trust such a chain.

    min. 02:15 Pretty amazing moves there, unique style!
  11. Yea, but I think I'll go for a MBK or KOT. Not sure about that though...
  12. Cool, I'm about 20kg less I think - I'm a skinny guy btw, that bail was kind of funny... crawling on the ground like a baby
  13. Thanks Adam, you're the enzyclopedia of trials hahaha I've seen the pics and vids of your bike. I love the smoothness! Too bad... I thought I could run a 200m rotor with the mono trial... I hope the 180mm rotor is strong enough. And I hope to be able to buy the frame soon.. just have to sell my xtp frame :/
  14. I just had a look at tartybikes. The 180mm mono trial caliper is the same for front and rear? The MBK frame features a +20mm mount, so I can take the 180mm caliper and run a 200mm rotor? That would be awesome and I guess it would be better than the mono m4 with a 200mm rotor.
  15. I'm planing to switch to a disc on the rear and I was wondering which rim I should go for. Standard 32 hole rim or 36? Does it make much of a difference having 4 more spokes? I don't know how much it would increase the stiffness of the wheel. If 36 is the better choice, I'd get a tryall 47mm, as the new ECHO rims are not available with 36 holes... btw, what do you think about this disc tap, compared to others you've seen? It's on the MBK T1000 frame. And which disc would you go for? I'd say the hope mono trial 180mm is fine. But what about the Hope mono m4? It has a four piston caliper, whereas the trial has only 2. But from the looks the pistons on the mono trial seem to be bigger, meaning more power? The only negative thing about the mono trial is that it's limited to a 180mm rotor. The mono m4 also comes with a 200mm caliper. So which one is stronger? Mono m4: 4 pistons + 200mm rotor or mono trial: 2 larger (?) pistons + 180mm rotor?

    Kot Ms2

    Is that an Echo06 rim on the back?
  17. I'd really like to pimp my 2005 HS33 with one of these new levers! But I'd rather sell it and get an older version, because of this here: Maybe its ot, but did u guys know, that Magura doesn't warranty the 05/06 HS33 Levers when used for trials? Of course you won't tell them "hey I broke my lever when riding trials"... but I myself still have a strange feeling when I use the brake. Here's one example of a lever that broke. Btw, that was used by a 12y old child! So the forces behind it, can't be that big! Might be an exception... but it still says a lot, when Magura doesn't warranty them for trials! Chris
  18. hey Danny, will Ben's frame go into production as well? I think it looks way better with the smaller rear end :ermm:
