I am running 180mm shimano rt76 rotors. I could honestly bleed them and try again. These brakes are for my dirt jump (26") that I'm giving a trial touch to. It happens that compared to the standard of the hope trials zone it seems underpowered. But you're right, I overdid it a bit with zero power. I was thinking about the red ebc pads because I read that an experienced rider like Jhon Shrewsbury used them for at least 4 years and said that (for him) it would make a big difference... But I will start bleeding the Zees and then I will see what to do. Thank you Ross!

Thank you very much for your recommendation. I always check their website. I love the trixer and maxima levers for example... this products are top-notch!

hi everyone, I would like to inquire about brake pads compatible with shimano zee. I wanted to get the ebc cfa493r (red), highly recommended by john Shrewsbury, but they are impossible to find here in Argentina, even very difficult on the Internet (out of stock). so if anyone can give any good alternative, it will be welcome! I'm running the standard pads and they suck for trials (zero power)... Thanks in advance

Amazing!! I saw that u are running XT brakes.. what kind of pads do u use?

I would advise against riding the bike until this issue is resolved as it will only further damage the hub. I understand you've been running the hub for a year, so some wear and tear is to be expected. It is good practice to check our hubs every 6 months or so and I would replace the pawls and springs once a year to prevent failure. This information is from the guys at Tartybikes (guaranteed!). I hope it is useful mate.

Thanks for the info! I supposed wrong. Yes! It had the sticker when I received the bike from Tartybikes. I followed the advice but months later I forgot to check it during a long sesh and It was enough. After destroy the crank thread I got an insert to try repair the damaged truvativ descendant crank, but I don't know if it will work well for trials. Now I am using a pair of Truvativ Stylo to get by.

Hi all, After 1 year and a half riding this rig I wanted to share this experience to this day. We know the bike is top spec and the frame is high end. Overall it's great. I'm just telling some things that happened to me. 1.- The rear axle lasted 60 days. So Inpired sent me the new version of the through-axle very quickly, all under warranty. 2.- You have to tight the pedals very often, and if you apply the recommended 40 Nm I would say that you should do it on every outing. One day I forgot and damaged the right thread (drive side - I'm right front foot) and had to replace the crank (much pain $$$). Time after I installed a pair of Stamp 7 and this hardly ever happen. I would say that is the Inspired Team V2 pedals and Truvativ crancks combination. 3.- Hope Tech 3 Trial Zone: Master cylinder diaphragm failed losing DOT fluid and it flaked the top cap. 4.- Finally. The Hope Pro 4 ss rear hub is damaged and I am waiting for another hub to rebuild the wheel. At first I thought it was the pawls because I've never done a hub service, which is recommended at least once a year (change springs and pawls and new grease. I did not know it). But then I realize the pawls blew out because the internal rachet was damaged. After that everything works fine and I really like this bike. I don't know if other riders had similar issues.

From what I have read, Czar has stopped production of all bikes and may not resume operations. I hope it is temporary! I loved the Neruron 26". I also read that Extension Potential could realese a Drax Pro. Everytime I look at it more fondly....

As I said, things are there for whoever wants to see them. The links are the ones I had on hand and they serve as a sample, but there are thousands, like the one I gave you for the ivermectin that is peer-reviewed and published in a medical journal because of it's of interest to doctors. But if it's nothing to you, no problem. Of course you won't find anything like it if you only feed yourself informatively from Youtube, ig, fbk, twitter, bbc, cnn, msn, and all the media that carry the official narrative. Let us remember that this same study could not be published, for example, on IG without the account being suspended on the premise of false information about covid19 when it is clear that it is not false. But even so, people do not raise an alarm, it does not seem striking and they continue to believe. In any case, whoever wants to believe in the narrative is within their rights. Each one makes his own way of making decisions about his body. If someone to keep calm puts his health in the hands of politicians and pharmaceutical companies, let him do it. I only add that there was already a failed pandemic attempt in 2009 (Influenza A), but this time they did it right, a campaign of fear, isolation and unique science with persecution of anyone who says otherwise (for example in Livorno there is a doctor who treated to 3000 patients outside the protocol and was criminally prosecuted, but he cured the Mayor of the town and received support). The result is people that we still see driving alone in their vehicle with a mask... But there are many more behaviors that are not seen but that are nested there in people's heads. The panic that they unleashed when the lethality of all variants is 0.068%. (5,500,000 deaths in the world / 8,000,000,000 world population = 0.0006875). I leave the article on the flu scandal, it is in Spanish but it can be translated on any device. https://www.elmundo.es/suplementos/cronica/2010/745/1264287607.html Just to illustrated it!

Manuel, this is not my mother tongue, so please excuse my spelling errors. Clearly, to say that the vaccines have not been of any use is unverifiable, but what can be said by being visible to anyone who wants to see, is that they are not even close to what they had promised: the vaccinated person gets infected, transmits the disease, he is hospitalized and dies the same. One of a reference in drug surveillance in Europe, Joan Ramón Laporte Roselló exposed with the evidence in hand in the Congress of Deputies of Spain (not in an IG post or FBK) the results of the Pfizer clinical trials and that evidence it was not shown to prevent death (also look up Pfizergate for more scandal, according to the British Medical Journal). Not even the FactCheckers dared to say that it was false but simply that it was out of context. For more, and in a more fun format, listen to Joe Rogan's podcast with Dr. Robert Malone (creator of mRNA technology) on Spotify (There is another with McCullough). For early treatments the one is Dr. Peter McCullough who testified several times in the Texas and national Congress of EEUU. Respect to the ivermectin link, I left you a paper and also the early care protocol, nothing anecdotal. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34466270/ https://covid19criticalcare.com/covid-19-protocols/i-mask-plus-protocol/

Totally agree.

The restrictions have brought more harm than good, and the real damage they brought is still unknown today. The approach to the pandemic that seemed most logical was that of the Great Barrington Declaration, which proclaimed the care of risk groups, normal life for young people, and was against mass vaccination. But it went against the pharmaceutical companies. The governments put it on the agenda and instead they opted for the campaign of fear, a mandatory mask to always remind you that you have to fear, isolation and mass vaccination. In the process some were financially sacrificed and others benefited, to later confront and divide society and make it more dominable. Let us remember that it was not "science" but a science in particular with conflicts of interest that promoted vaccination, censoring other voices so that theirs seemed unanimous and abolishing early care treatments (ivermectin, today it is known that it was and is effective). That is, scientific consensus never existed. Now overnight it’s over.

Late, but speaking abot the Hope Pro 4 SS, I broke a pawl last week (this hub 1,5 years/1 hour a day of riding on average). the hub has 4 pawls and should engage 2 at a time as it works offset. but when you spin the body, 2 of them do not always engage, many times only one works to support all the power. one tip was to use double spring... I bought several sets of pawls/springs to try (before change the brand...).

Hello! Normally the max. torque is printed on the component or on the box. I guess that's not your case, so since there is no a general rule, the best solution is to write to the manufacturer.

bueno ... finalmente pude conseguir un par de bielas truvativ stylo dub de 175 mm ... no son muy populares en las pruebas pero se ven bien y van perfectamente ... gracias a todos por los comentarios.

2 weeks ago a colleague snapped his chain and he got off easy ... lucky ... because it could have been a horror show ... 6 months seems to be the ideal mate

The Trials Riders community here is very small. I only know some names from Córdoba -province- and the City of Buenos Aires, respectively. And the street trial riders are even fewer. In Mar del Plata, the city where I live, I never saw a trials rider and I always ride alone. I think I have the only Inspired Fourplay in the country. There are no other brands either. There is no official trials bike store in the country , so any accessory or component must be purchased abroad. Fortunately, the global community of trial riders is very supportive - and this impressive forum is an example - and online stores also give a big hand when you need help. I had great experiences with Tarybikes. I think it's a good mix of the small number of riders (relative to other disciplines like road or mtb) and the values of the sport in general. On the opposite side we have bmx (@malignobmx), mtb in Patagonia or dirt jump (@dirtworldflyparknqn). I would like to have this last dirt jumping park in my city ...

Thanks mate. I have to replace them and was a curiosity, to learn something from the community. Clearly 5 mm won't change nothing for me. The demigod charly rolls can uses 100 mm if he wants haha.

Adam! Nice to read you again. Unfortunately I damaged the thread on the crank arm. The pedal wasn't tightened enough and I didn't realize it in time. I didn't find repair kits like the one from Unior nor do I know if it's an option for Trials. The quickest option is to get a new crankset (here in Argentina it's the only compatible spare part of the whole bike. If I damaged another thing I had to contact Tarty once more -with pleasure-). In this case, I found the Sram GX Eagle to replace the beloved Truvativ Descendant 7k ...

I really don't know, but having the choice of 175mm they run 170. In both cases they run 170 with different gear ratios and bikes. I want to say, independent of ratio or bikes they chose 170 mm length arm crank. I didn't know why. (At least in their 2019 bikes.) thanks for your answer.

Very clear. I didn't mention the replacement time every 3-6 months because it seemed extreme to me, but it's exactly what the guys at Tartybikes recommend. I'll take your healthy advice: stop skimping on this . Thanks mate.

Here Javi, Is the chain wear indicator tool useful to know when we have to change the chain on our trials bike? The recommendation is to replace it every 6 months. I still run the original chain (KMC z610hx) after 9 months of intense riding but if I measure the chain with the tool it seems to be fine. Not stretched. What to do?

Update: I just confirmed the gear ratio of the Ali c Hex (26 "): 22-18 ... to add some doubt.

Hello everyone! I recently damaged my crankset (almost cry) that I run on my fourplay (descendant truvativ 175mm with 22t - 16 gear ratio) The standard Fourplay Team 2020. Now I have to replace them and saw Duncan or Ali c run 170mm. I don't know what the point of view is. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!
