Hi
To try repair this follow the following instructions:-
1.Get your tools. ( allen keys, adjustable spanner)
2.Take off the rear mech.
3.Then get you adjustable spanner and fix it to the rear mech hanger so this can act a lever to bend the mech hanger back into place.
4.Bend the rear mech hanger into place using the adjustable spanner bend it slightly over so it is not straight and the when you release it it should spring back to be straight.(Be careful not to snap the rear mech hanger the are quite brittle)
5.Re-fit rear mech.
6.Adjust as required.
7.GO RIDE.
Hope this helps

Great first video there mate it was very good riding.
I think for the quality of your riding I think the camra angles could of been better to show it off more. But the editing was also very good to say it was your first one.
Keep the good work up.

No bother. Some people might say that zoo bars are streety but when you consider they are just using them to side hop and drop off stuff then thats not really steet is it??
I run the azonic double walls and they are soo good for riding street. I also run a 90mm stem
I think with bout 15 degrees rise. The bars are 2.5 inch rise and the bike feels luvly. that should suit your giant perfectly. Should bunny hop really easy.Youll have to think where you put your steerer tube stackers though on top or below just have a play about and see what you like.
Plus man a set of azonics and a hope stem will look lurvly
well done.
Thanks for all your help. I dont just do drop offs and side hops I do 180 drop offs and things simular to that and would like to have my riding like some one like john shrewsbury.
So I have decided to get Azonic double walls in silver and then a black hope stem 90mm 10 degree rise stem. This will also help me because I can bunnyhop my jump bike quite well but cant bunnyhop my trials bike too well so this might help.
Thanks again
Rob

Hey.
I have found that having a longer stem with less rise means that the front end of the bike is pulled up higher and the balance angle is much more upright, which means the frame will be pulled closer to your chest. This also means that when dropping it is easyer to hold up the front wheel when landing. imo. And when gapping you may find that there is more room to manouver the bike thus being able to throw your body further forward without hitting the bar making you able to gap further.
But this doesnt mean that putting a metre long stem on will make you able to gap like Neil Tunniclife it just means that you wont be able to pull up on the bars to get to back wheel as easy.
Haveing a shorter stem with a little rise will make things like spins and manuals easy because the bike is shorter and the weight of the bike is not as far forward. Having rise means that the balanceing point is already quite far up from the horizontal meaning you will be able to pull up toi back wheel easyer. It also means thaty your riding position is changed and when track standing your body is straighter which in my opinion is more comfortable!!!
Again it all depends on riding preferance.eg natural, street, park, that kind of thing., And whether you want a big rise on you bars or not. But as you want Zoo's! then they dont have that much rise compaired to the likes of some downhill bars or jump bars which people like to use ase streety bars in trials. So to some up.
as an average inbitweeny stem id go for a 15 degree rise and 100mm long
Thankyou for the excellent reply It was very useful but the last bit has changed my idea because I ride alot more street than natural so would I be better getting some azonic sidewalls with a bit more rise on the bars than the zoo bars.

ive seen some bike have backward facing brakes like this one why are they this way please someone explain!!!!!
Hi
I have heard there are several reasons why this is like this:-
1. It looks good. (I thinks so)
2. It is meant to put less strain on the fork.
3. It bakes the brake work better. (But i cant work out how)
These a reasons I have heard but don't quote me if they are wrong.

Hi
I currently have a Giant Team trial bike. I am going to invest in a new bar and stem. I have decided to get a hope cnc stem and zoo bars. The thing is I don't know what sized Hope stem to get I am currently running a stem 10 degree rise and a length 100mm. So I would like to know if any of you have had past experience with running a longer or shorter no rise more rise, stem on this bike that you could recommend.
Regards

Hi
My friends got one of these bikes and hes my view on it.
When my friend first got the bike, the brakes were not very well set up so I sort that. But still the mounts flexed. Then I had ago on the back wheel the bike seem very heavy and hard to handle. So we tried a longer stem which made it feel much nicer (sorry cant remember the size). Then about a month after him having the bike the forks crack on one of the legs near the top and he never fixed it.

Just a quick reminder - the Report button does not work as a reply button, and the person who's post you click on to report will not see it, so trying to use the report button to ask if you can buy something from a seller in the For Sale section or using it to reply to videos or whatever will not work.
Had 3 people trying to use it as a reply button today, so I thought I'd better just quickly remind people...
I thought it explain itself

Hi
Mine was a base bike T19 which I got new at a discount at the bike shop at work at then. Then I put a few upgrades on like maguras and a long stem and new bars.

Does anyone know if you can buy seats from anywhere, I'm after a 'normal' looking seat to fit my 2004 T-Rex as I don't like the look of the small plastic mini seat. The only problem is that the seat post diameter is very small, about 21mm so a regular mtb seat post wont fit.
Cheers
In both my trials bikes in the past I have managed to fit a normal seat post in. These bikes were a base bike t19 and a Giant team trial. Unfortunately I cant mesure and see what size they are cuase they are not at home sorry. mite try at work on sat and see if you can get one the size you said.
Hope this helps

My brake was just lacking power so I took it off and gave it a good clean and bleed it with water and anti freeze works great now!!!

Theres usually maguras for sale in the f.s just pm someone who's selling one... (i think you can do that
)No you can't when you are a pre member and yes it will fit a 2.5 rear tyre on.
Rob
Would A 19" Rear Rim Fit ?
