0zzy Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 im interested to see the 24" guys on the comp scene to see how they fair, this isnt sarcasm by the way.. see how there streety aproach would work in a comp situation, i think every one can learn from this! i used to be stupidly narrow minded admitidley, ive got over that now. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Me, Sam and JD should be doing some EBTC stuff this year. Should be fun! Not sure how far i'll get trying to bunnyhop everything, but we'll see haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I did a season of Hampshire comps on a Fourplay, just changed the rear wheel for one with a ground rim, changed the tyres and went for it. Obviously it wasn't ideal but was still very enjoyable and reasonably competitive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 im sure you will be fine thats normally where i get stuck in sections is on the big up with a run up where a bunny hop would be perfect! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'm just going to aim to fall off as much as possible and laugh as much as possible. If I come out with some scores that aren't 5 then that'll be nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Maybe because I haven´t seen anyone ride pure trials on inspired in my life? I personally believe if you don't use your bash ring or bash plate in every possible opportunity then you're not riding pure trials.

Luke Rainbird Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 My first proper trials bike was an Ashton ET24" and it did natty comps before it was used for street. BMX cranks etc made sure it wasn't a compy spec, but there's a trophy at home which shows it got results Wallrides mid-section and going fast at things for the almighty win! Just don't ask how many other people were in the class...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykid009 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Right Mr Gostrider88, what is my bike classed as? It's a seatless trials frame, with rear magura, front vee and grinds. However it is a 24", has undrilled DJ rims and a rear Hope hub. I am running Truvitiv Husselfelt cranks in this picture, but am now running the Shimano Hollowtech system, with a 22 tooth on the front and 18 on the back. I run low rise GU trials bars with lots of stem stackers. This is the crunch, I spin, footjam whip and bunny hop this bike effortlessly. can also sidehop, gap to front and rear, and pedal up this bike better than I can any other. I can also do most of those things bigger than my mate who has been riding 15 years and rides a long high BB Czar stock with ull superlight comp spec, whereas I have only been riding 17 months now. Where do I lie, please enlighten me! With thanks James PS. I am in the middle of machining up some stunt pegs for this, to learn hang fives, grinds and give some flatland stuff a go on it. PPS. I am going to be entering the British National comp series this year on the bike. Edited January 3, 2012 by krazykid009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I would consider using that bb, but I can't say the cranks are really my cup of tea. Shimano are just leagues ahead of everyone else in the crank department. SLX, Saints or bmx steel cranks are win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewEH1 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 There is a meeting this saturday, down at Barrow to discuss the clubs future... Could someone with more knowledge make a post about this or something. Although I will probably never go to Barrow Farm or deal with EBTC it would be a great shame if the club had to close? Can something in the community be done to help them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James That´s why I said I think and exactly,it has geo as inspired fourplay thus the same cranks might fit?I really don´t know why would you continue trying to prove me wrong when we agreed before here that both sides were partly right...

krazykid009 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) The clearance does not equate to the geo... it totally depends on the tubing used, the shape of the tubing and the size of the bb yoke. I think you being rather aggressive in putting your point across that this forum is only for trials riders, and no trials riders would ever use this cranks was totally inappropriate. You were obviously wrong, as I and most people would class me as a trials rider, as I would Danny Macaskill, Ben Rowlands, Ali C, Nick Cooke, Matt Purdon or JD. Trials is a small sport, and it is still broadening it's range. Street trials is still part of that, and I do not see why you TGS and comp riders are so up yourself in wanting to prove that point. You guys are no way a "purer" form of trials, and we all just need to accept that and move on. Anyway, this is all rather pointless as you have been consistently been, as a chav would say, "PWND" throughout the last 4 or 5 pages of this thread, so please don't argue and just accept sports change and develop, and in this case for the better! James Thank you and goodnight, I'm here 'til tuesday! Edited January 3, 2012 by krazykid009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
