I use one, I am VERY impressed!! same weight as a try-all rim, but undrilled. Stiffest rim out I recken, I havnt had to true it since building it last month. Its 25mm deep, so flat spots are going to be a lot harder to do. Its tough alloy, so it holds grinds well and I havnt managed to dent it yet (even when riding rocks with a puncture!) REALLY good rims

you suck joe!! ok, I'll open up, it was pretty cool, those sidehops onto the reails takes some skill and bravery, so biiiig respect mr team mate!

avid

but trials is cheap! well, compared with xc, jump or dh it is. I dont think carbon frames will be popular, once they get a nice scratch the frame is ruined (and show me a trials bike without scratches!!)

one word, reliability.....or the lack of. I have had 4 mono trials and all have buggered up after a month or so......saying that, I have had plenty of friends with them and they have been great, but I just dont like them because of my bad sets.

heh heh, I think they are fine, but vees are just nicer.....the hope on the other hand, give me anything but a hope!

my worst nightmare!

sorry, I find them possibly the ugliest frames out.

the avid bb7 is very good! best disk out for trials I think. They dont come with cable or lever though, so you have to buy those seperatly. PS get a vee!!!

DAM RIGHT I WILL!

hope mono trials

I have had 3 or 4 hopes, I have been dissapointed with them all! dont like how they feel, they would randomly stop working, the pads would get contaminated if they were in the same room as oil and they get cooked easily. Avids on the other hand are more powerful, easier to set up, nice feel, more adjustable....they just out class the hope in every way, except two.....weight and strength. I have broken a few avids, that is their biggest downfall.....still waaay better than hopes though.

had a go on 3 bikes with maguras today (when I got a puncture), each rider likes how their brake works.... ....I thought they were all waaay under powered!!! I was slipping all over the place, plus they were a lot harder to pull than my vee and I got arm pump really quick. Makes me love vees even more! *editied as I said maggie instead of vee

pretty swish

I have a different way of getting the first spokes in, I did it at tartybikes HQ and adam thought I was gone in the head it worked though.

ahh, but you and damon would be beasts on any bike! Could it be that the high bb is holding him back? if he were to get a low bb bike would he really be worse off? anyway, I do like your push irons

I think it looks nice with those forks (not often I say that)

cant say I have ever twisted, sprained or damaged my ankles, knees or wrists ever (touch wood) But if I do I know where to look for help

I am impressed with all the people on 26"!! I am also a 26" guy, cant see much point in 20" unless your a little kid or a dwarf

avid ultimates "As far as vees go the avid's are some of the best but trust me they're not designed, or for that matter any good, as trials brakes." Avid arch rivals arnt the best brakes for trials, but any of avids other models make MINT brakes for trials. I bet you any amount of money my brake is more powerful than yours!!

how high was that chain link fence!!!!

vee brakes rock!!!! They are really good brakes, I used them to get a lot of good comp results this year (including a world champ round win!) so they cant be bad! people who say maggies just havnt tried a vee, or if they have they havnt tried a good vee. Everyone sees my bike has a vee and they automaticly think its bad, but everyone has said its nice when they tried it. so if you havnt tried a good vee, dont knock them!

fatmikes material is AWESOME!!!!

got some lacost or whatever its called, I got it for christmas about 5 years ago and theres still half left. I never really use aftershave......I dont shave often and I dont go out places that I need to smell nice for.

like that you mean?
