  1. avid bb7 up the front and avid SD5 with spanish fly's at the back. Cables rock, I like them much better compared to maguras, although the spanish fly's are lacking a bit of power. Should be fixed when I get some CRV's and avid ultimates.
  2. sweet fork, bb is a bit low but thats a nice street/trials bike :)
  3. why did you ride an expensive trials bike to a party ? you should just get an old granny bike if you want to ride to partys.
  4. All felix's vids are definitely good the smoothness is amazing. My fav vid would probably be nickvidcomp from glasseyetrials.
  5. they look nice, too bad they're single speed.....I'm waiting for the new hope trials.
  6. czar has a higher bb than the xtp which would make the ride a bit different to the xtp. It is heavier but stronger.
  7. here's me bike, not the best parts but it rides nice. Future upgrades include avid ultimate, new front wheel, and hope trials hub.
  8. i think your talking about this? If you are then they are made by jagwire and can be bought from trialsinshop , LBS might have some though as they aren't really a 'trials' product. I've also heard that you can make your own but i'm not to sure how.
  9. hey thats good news January isn't too bad. Thanks alot for info (Y)
  10. if anyone one wanted to know, the weight is: 24" 780g 26" 880g
  11. yeah I had no problem with my mavic rim still going strong but i was looking for something a bit wider plus i wanted another wheelset for my other bike. yes the kingpin is available in 24" in the picture above the smaller rim is the 24".
  12. yes they do, it says 19" and 26" on their website
  13. ^^^^I was considering them as they are pretty cheap and seem to be strong but 48mm is too wide for my liking. I think I'll give the kingpin a try then if I can get them, should I be worried that its a pinned rim ? I've only ever had welded.
  14. nope they aren't ceramic sidewalls, i think only mavic do them. They are just machined i think so no its not a disk only rim either. Definitely v brake compatible.
  15. ah damn was hoping to get one before christmas! Thanx for the info
  16. so has a release date been released yet ? dont make me get a king ;)
  17. Sun Kingpin: a beefier rhyno lite ?? looks pretty nice, 34mm, pinned. Anyone had any experiences with this rim? http://www.dirtworks.com.au/newsite/content/view/70/62/
  18. so if I have a 8 speed cassette and use the 19T for trials and 13T for a getting around gear, can this be adjusted to switch between those two gears ? or do I have to have two individual rings ?
  19. Was browsing through thetrialsinshop.com and found this: Jagwire barrel adjuster shifter - Do you want to get rid of that heavy shifter on your bar or seattube? These tiny barrel adjusters work great and mount almost anywhere I've always wanted to get rid of my shifter but I wanted to keep my gears, so does this give me a full range of gears? and how do they work ? Any help would be splendid !!
  20. yeah true but compared to my mavic EX721 its pretty wide. Might give it a go, they cost about the same as the mavic though so hopefully it's decent
  21. thanks alot guys and cheers for the tips. Pushed my bars foward today and felt much much better :$. I will definitely be using CRV's when I get my ultimates and I might grab some nokon housing along the way too :ermm:
  22. well the rim is 685 g so the weight is similar to a D521 and yeah your right you'll have to grind it but thats not not a problem really.
  23. looking for a wider rim and came across the syncros DSP. Meant for DH/freeride, 32mm wide, looks to have a braking surface and comes in sweet white. You think it's worth a try ? anyone use these rims?
  24. yeah its mainly preference, altough i think with v mounts its best to stick with using v brakes.
  25. Thanks for all the comments. I've been meaning to get get a new cassette for ages but I felt that other parts were more important so its kinda been pushed down the 'to buy' list. It will definitely be the next thing i buy though. Regarding the booster I don't really feel any flex at the moment, felt heaps with maguras but its not too bad with the v's. I'm getting ultimates soon so it should be even stiffer. mash65 My seat is a BBB which is almost exactly the same as the serfas but with chromo rails. It's still pretty light and it cost less so I choose the BBB. I'm not sure if you can buy it from the UK (i'm from Aus) but here's the link: BBB
