  1. Thank you,this video is helpful to showed it up.I will take your opinion into consideration as well and maybe will reconsider my choice to vertical dropouts.
  2. I am located in Bulgaria currently.Thank you for your suggestion but somehow i would prefer tugs instead of this kind of chain tensioner like this one on Edith,otherwise it is looks like good offer.What about the crank set of Extention,do you have any obsession about?
  3. Hi everyone,if you are beginner and weekends warrior like me,what choice of yours about first 24" street trials bike would be?Not be expensive one,i found some Inspired Flow(reduced price),Alias 24.1(also reduced) and some Extention Heimdall bike-here is the link to: https://www.trialmarkt.de/de/trial-bikes/extention-bikes/bike-24-extention-heimdall-ltd-2024-hellblau I know that most of you are very familiar with Inspired and Alias too,but the bike from the link above looks good, despite been most expensive of all these. With Spank rims,Magura Mt brakes,good tyres and weight of 10.5 kgs it is look promising.What i do not like in it is that i can't find any information about the hubs and cranks(Extention ones).Are they better that Trialtech ones,who knows? I am not in possibility to get second hand bike because good ones are out of price range or owners not willing to do shipment abroad,let alone taxes etc. Alias and Flow weights almost equally,but wheelbase on both is different,so i wonder which one would suits me better because i ride and 27.5 bike as well. Every thoughts are welcome and thank you for your time.
  4. Hi there,i am a beginner too with pretty much same setup.I got Avid SD 5 arms and Heatsink yellow pads,rim is not grainded.While ago i have used Jitsie(white) v-brakebpads,which is awesome -IMO.I think that they are more suitable for smooth rim compared to Heatsink,i feel them more solid somehow.I am not saying that yellow Hetasink are not good,maybe is that because of the smooth rim.The Jitsie's were quite noisy at the beginning but that stop after while.For the bite,i am not good trials tlrider,i would say that they have more hold than bite,some people says "mushy" or something,maybe that is the right word for.Trying to hope in back wheel,i am 90kgs and they hold well.Give them a try if not going to grind your rim.Take good brake booster,this is must have.Good cable too,like Oddysey one.I would recommend to change the brake lever with Avid Speed Dial 7. 1.Jitsie v brake pads. 2.Oddysey liner cable. 3.Brake booster-good one. 4.Avid Speed Dial 7 lever. ...and make sure,that pads is always perpendicular to the rims,if are noisy you are golden. P.s. beg you pardon for my english. All the best.
  5. Hi.Thank you.Maybe i am not clear myself,that because my english is not good enough,i suppose.I meaned that i need sone overall tips how to training balance in terms to try riding rail later.How do you guys training for?Lines, along curbs etc.I am not talking about trackstand,that is clear.Got some tips from Lenosky's video to drop your foor down,to stay centered on you bike etc.,but when watching some good riders it is seems that they move their body low and forward.I did try this also,but had too much pressure on my hands and balance seems uncontrollable.Some used their foot like outriger and try to stay still for some time.Why they stops like that?When is the best time to stay on two feet (horizontally) and when to drop your leading foor down?Stuffs like that.Maybe i asked stupid questios but could not find information about.Thank you.
  6. Hi,everyone.It is always pleasure to me to watching video of someone who riding rail,habdrail etc. with precise movements and speed,i guess, you to.I bet that many of you can do it,so would you be so kind to share some tips about?I mean something like,how to use break and when,what is your body positioning and so on.One more thing,how to practice all this stuffs before trying rail riding on?On flat,marks or? Thank you,for your time.
  7. Thank you.I thought about cartridges but I did not find information what angles do I need.LBS mechanic said that should be changed soon,so I am thinking about new one if I am not find cartridges for current one. Thank you once again.
  8. Hi there.Here are the pictures of it.The model is FSA -Orbit xtrme cartridge,at least it what is visible on it.I hope that would help.
  9. Hi there.My Giant Trials need new headset and current one is FSA xtreme - old model one and frame went to me like taht.What headset do i need in order to get fitted in that frame properly,because is old one?I look at FSA pig but i am not sure it would be ok,so,what would be your recommendation about? Thank you in advance for your time.Be safe.
  10. Not tested them yet.Did read that they last very long on smooth rims like mine.I try to learn how to backhop now and soon as go to practice would try them and I am going to post here.
  11. These slow front pivots just kills.Really.And that smoothness of yours...Very nice to watch.
  12. 3200 euro for this frame/parts is ridiculous - IMO.I rather spend this kind of money for some top Inspired or Crewcerz.
  13. I have MT4 with organic pads/180mm HC on front of my Giant Team and i am 85kgs.Got no problem doing endo's,would work on rear well too,I guess but never tried.
  14. I read somewhere that Yohan Triboulat suggests to be good alternative for I9 which is way expensive. Spank has good reputation,so this Hex hub would be my choise when my Hope 4 SS go to hell,just to try it out.People like him know to what they talk about. Unfortunately,I was not be able to find any review or whatever information related to this hub and trials use.Good luck.
