megaspin Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Holla all.Excuse my lack of knowledge but how does the cabling work on a stock trials bike when doing a tailspin?Is there a giro system fitted or do people just ride with extra loopy cables?Have a look at the video for an example of what I mean: Any help would be appreciated as I'm interested in this set up for a 24".RegardsJon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26inch Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Dont see why you would really want to do it,If you do you need to run the front cable/hose through the steerer and long rear brake + gear cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Dont see why you would really want to do it,If you do you need to run the front cable/hose through the steerer and long rear brake + gear cables Because it looks uber f'in cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Then you need to learn it the other way to untwist your hoses.=D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 i drilled a hole in the steerer tube of my forks below the stem, then cut a groove in my spacers so the cable can go in and roots down inside the steerer tube to my front disc. then i use a long linear slic cable for the back which i can get 3 complete rotations out of with the brake still working perfectly(avid ultimate)i can get footjam tailwhips to pedals, learnt them on a bmx and just transfered them to big wheels can get a pic of my home made front brake routing if anyone is interested?

megaspin Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) Wow.Wasn't expecting such a response but that's awesome.My aim is to combine trials with street/park riding on a 24uk mk2 or inspired... when they are released.It seems the longer cables is the best route (for me) as long as you don't forget to unwind yourself.regardsJon Edited November 4, 2007 by megaspin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Long cables are fine. The only problem is if you slip off the tyre or whatever and get your foot stuck in a loop of cable. That's bad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I hate to tell you this but that really was not a good idea!i cant get one of them because i have a smaller star nut...theyre echo control fork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Fair enough. I like your idea anyway, it's innovative and it'll probably be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 uh?your star nut aint fixed in your forkYeah but they have really thick alu steerers so the hole down the middle isn't big enough for one of those BMX top cap/star nut things.

26inch Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Is it really worth it just to be able todo barspins nd whips. You could have at least drilled a hole in the steerer above the stem so it wasnt under stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
