I have had some raceface atlas pedals,one word best pedal I have ever used ever.
Better Than burgtec, hope, nukeproof, saint, and pretty much all pedals.
Sealed bearings all round no bushes to go wrong and a huge platform

Thing is there is brakes that hold well for riders just riding stop start hoppy sort of trials.
And then you get the likes of Ali or Mr mcaskill who need the brakes to stop and hold from flat out speed into a bunnyhop and land on a rail or ledge over gaps normal riders wouldn't even look at, that's where a 203 rotor fitted to a sharp as hell brake like the saints will be the only brake system they can rely on.
For the majority of us most good discs will do the job of holding onto a rock or angled ledge of a sidehop or slow speed bunnyhop or relativly safe dropgap.

I rode some of the smaller sections at radfest on my 29er running a Shimano slx on a 180 ice tech rotor it didn't slip held really well.
Now everyone go out and buy Shimano slx brakes.
I do run trialzones on my 24" trial bike with 180 trial on rotors and have done for a long time.
The trialzones have been inn use for coming up to two years now without fault.
But there is a lot to be said about pad choice on the hopes, I found wrong pads will result in a huge failure of brake hold.
The standard pads work best for me.
I haven't tryed any of the aftermarket ones not from hope thou. Maybe worth me trying a set

Oi dummy what are you trying to say?
Hope v4/trial, saint/zee, and many other dh brake setups will work for trials and they all have great hold simples there's no debate about it unless you have used them all on a trials bike and are capable of riding like a noob and pro all in one ride.

Has anyone got any pics or videos up from this yet?

Or sram rsc

I am a short 30 year old. Probbably about close to the height of a ten year old.
5' 5 and a bit.
I found that my onza with lower bb was a litte easier to track stand on two wheels.
But wasn't quite as nimble on the back wheel as my newer rockman.
I found the higher bb impoved my riding loads. I would say my balance is very good during track stands, but I fall short on balance on the back wheel, mainly due to panicking.
I would say if your little lad has good balance already then go with the high bb, if not then maybe go with the lower.

The new giant reigns look a really good spec this year
All Shimano and pike forks for £2199 that's what I will be getting soon.

Have you seen the new flat bar orange commuting bikes. They look smart
-
hope or king. i havent seen any other brands work well with trials
-
Specialized fatboy slicks I found were really good
-
I have one on my xc bike and with oil in the freewheel its so quiet, its pretty much silent.
But as standard the noise is pretty much the same with more clicks.
It hasn't skipped once but that is for xc

Top lad I cant believe he beat everyone at all the worlds
-
Hope geared ones
-
These brakes so far what I have seen have a good potential to be ok for trials. It up to someone to try them
-
You could use some paint polish to clean the bars up after you remove the brakes
-
Custom rotor or see if hope or who you bought the hope brake or frame from would either get you a new frame or post mount brake in exchange for the parts that don't fit. Simples but will mean more time of the bike for now.
Your dead right, there seem to be a lot of badly made trials parts on the market, but you cant really blame tarty bikes they buy the stuff in and are in the same situation you are put in when they find out there are problems with the parts

I will get you guys a picture from my lupine piko 4, 1200 lumen light so you can compare these ebay lights because those ebay lights are really pretty good.

The 83mm crankset comes with a 10mm longer centre tube in the bb which you just take out. Then the bb s the same as all saint cranks without a centre tube.
Then the 83 crankset has a 10mm longer axle legnth. Yes 10mm longer so you will get all of those soft like cheese crank splines on easily with the extra 10mm.
And you will get plenty of space to run those 24mm raceface spacers which it sounds like you may need if regular saints catch the chainstay on the bike.
I honestly think an 83mm saint would fit slightly better Than the 68/73 crank.
-
U could use 5mm of raceface crank spacers either side of the saint to make it fit. But that's one hell of a bodge fitment
-
If you want to quiten up a hope hub run a little fork lower leg oil inside the freewheel.
It shuts them up and keeps them smooth like butter
-
How does it not fit well?
Is it too loose ?
Does the bead not seat?
I would try pumping it to its max pressure usually around 60psi if the bead isn't sitting properly
Whether there is a studded wide 24 tires?

They do them for fat bikes ? Maybe they do one you could use
