These already saved me two times. Used to run without bar ends for 2 years and a couple of months after I started using them I crashed and the bar went into my stomach so hard that I had trouble breathing for some time, leaving this huge black mark. If I didn't have bar ends I would get properly stabbed by my bar.
Using these for 2 years now. Best bar ends ever!

This competition was held in the first trials park in Portugal in Guimaraes.
Got some footage and edited a small video of what happen that day.
Maybe it's a bit over edited.
Hope you guys enjoy it!

Cesar Canas is such a beast! A true trials legend!

I enjoyed the video! They have some nice moves.. But the style isn't quite there yet, though the short WB bikes they have now make it look a bit better, if they just let the brakes go, pressure up the tires and get enough speed to roll away with no pedaling it would look better.
-
Nice camera but I guess something isn't right. Maybe the frame rate? Or export settings?
-
At least they changed the color scheme from horrible red/black flames to plain color.. That's a good upgrade.
The gusset near the BB was a good choice too, that's were my neon broke.

With that steering tube length 110mm x 30º stem would be equal as a 90mm x 10º hope stem with 4cm of spacers. On the old inspired due to the high BB is a must having a high front end. As for the bar you can either go for the trialtech high rise which in my opinion has to much up sweep for my wrists on high psi tyre impacts, or the inspired bar which has a bit less up sweep and back sweep which is more comfortable for you're wrists. I tried the gee atherton pro high rise bars too and they feel great, they have a geo closer to a MTB geo like easton monkey lite. I would go for the inspired bar as it has good strength and the mix is spot on for trials/street stuff.

The tubes are so thin it actually look like it's cromoly made. Looks nice and clean but scary!

I bet you can do a pedalup backflip with that.

That's one solid drivetrain. King + spanish = bombproof win! I can't comprehend why trials is going for spanish BB and integrated headsets now. This should happened 2 years ago, specially on expensive frames.

Thanks guys!
If only I had a DSLR. Really need to invest on one of those and some quality glass.

Just finished editing this video. I had good fun doing it. It's a comp. that was held in Vila Verde Portugal. It was a bit rainy and gray so I tried to make it watchable.
Hope you guys enjoy it!

really nice video!
a few days ago i was wondering how is the trials scene in portugal (compared to spain for example)
thanks for posting!
At this comp. was a bit of a mix. When comps are near to the border usually a few spanish riders come and join us. It's quite difficult making a trials video fun to watch, specially natural and being a competition. I'm glad you guys liked it!

Last week was the first 2011 competition and I've just edit a quick video of what happen that day.
Hope you guys enjoy it!

Weird, I found the exact opposite... Currently running 23:16 on mine. Downsizing to 22:15 soon though.
It's what I felt. With higher gear you have to go faster and get further distance from the object in order to get the proper crank timing. Pedal ups to front require pulling up the front wheel near the object as possible and when you do this with a high gear when you do the first stoke to pull it up, the second stroke to nose dive into the object and this is when you get your feet in a odd position.

I already used 18:13, 22:17 and 22:16. If you ride the Inspired Mk.I due to the bigger WB you can ride trials with 18:13/22:16 alright but if you got the Mk.2 a lighter gear like 22:17 will be the best since you have less leverage from the bike you can get extra impulse from you're cranks. I started riding the Mk.2 with the stock 22:16 changed to 22:17 for 2 months and yesterday tried out the 22:16 again and I must say I'm going back to 22:17. It will seem a bit light but is far better for gaps, pedal to front and sides, specially running 65psi on both tires.

Oh, Trials-Forum...

Looks great! I remember few years back people saying they rode really shit because of the high BB. How things change..

Muito bom!
Very nice video!Riding was good!

Nice video! Specially after an injury. I liked the gap at the beginning and the 180 over the chain. Can't wait for the full vid!
-
Looks nice! Why KHE tires? They wont last very long riding trials unless you run it at 60psi or more. At the front is probably fine. I had Schwalbe Table Tops, they are light at 576gr and I used to have it on the front and rear and at the rear they will just hold without punctures at 60+psi.

Nice video Gui! 1:42 and 2:14 just awesome!

The hope is super strong, super stiff (10mm bolts), reliable, chains last longer and make a lot of noise. And It's not that difficult to maintain.. If you normally break a lot of parts I would go for the hope but for regular trials normal FWW setup works fine and it's lighter.
