what do you think? (Y) -
as a bike mechanic i have to tell you that you need to take the caps out and put some lock-tite on it and press it back. i think it will help. good luck.

mmm.... around 10 trialsters i think. its hard to progres. people dont know what is trials. and the ones who do know, think it's too demanding for them to even try.
there are more xc, fr, trails and even bmx riders then trials riders.
also, a trials specific bike (to build from scratch) is not as cheep as the same urban/street machine of the same level, because of the expensive frame and parts (even the more cheep parts are more expensive then a complite mid leveled bike). riders want a bike that can handle anything and with a seat (Y) .

lower the seat, pull back your handlebars (its not a trials bike) and change the seat angle to 90 degrees with the seat post. apart from that -its nice! (Y)

i did it today for my first time, but without pedaling, just riding towords a wall, and touch my front wheel and then pull. my best hop to a wall and to my rear wheel is 1 meter with out that tuoch up thing. you need less power with this thing.
few things i'v got to know:
1.do i need more psi in my front tyre?in order to not pinch flat it...
2.do i need to come slower? faster?
3.how high can i go?
4.is this thing realy work or just ends my forks life faster? did it realy lifted my front wheel higher or what? >_<

as an x owner of monty with 25" rear rim, i think that it also gives you a feel of shorter stays. if you put this rim on any given frame , you will make it feel nicer
on the rear. correct me if i wrong...
-
thats cool mate!! nice job, and good luck! :-
-
use a dt revolution db spokes. 2m"m-1.6" to 2m"m. its light and strong . dont make radial lacing if its a king hub. it voids the warranty. if you twist to inside of the valve , the rim will be stronger. but not dramaticly. good luck mate.

maybe find only a lever of 2004 and replace it. i think that the slave cilenders are the same. do they stiil making 2004 levers? if they do, get one. proven quality.

i'v ordered the seat from bike dock. its an echo trimmed mini seat. you can take a planet-x mini seat, take the cover out jently, rip the foam out, grined the seat to a little plastic seat like mine & cover it again with any cover u like. i had a planet x seat and grinded it today in my shop, (i'm a bike mechanic) and it came out exaactly like the echo seat. now i have to think how to cover it! pictures soon... :)
