Laurence--Trials Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 First off, Happy birthday To the bike : Its a pretty good spec bike, the only thing i can suggest is new pedals and new bars (thats what i'd change anyway) I'd change the pedals to echo TR, very nice grippy etc bars up to you. You were saying about your front brake, BB7 all the way honestly best brake EVER. - End of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Get a mono trial with carbon lever and try all disc, mine is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And cheers for the happy birthday 190mm is for strange forks like koxx. seriously BB7's are like rubbing two blocks of turd on a disc rotor, mono trial is your best bet. the new onza brake is pretty sick but thats another story.

rab shropshire Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 the 190mm works fine if you have the correct adaptor for it. As for the mono trial i havn't yet used one that has the bite or hold of a correctly setup bb7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my hope broke for like no reason, just one day something happened to the pistons or something and all that money for a mono trial? bit of a waste and how is a bb7 bad? Strange how Damon is using one... Edited August 28, 2010 by modifiedridah2k9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how Damon is using one... WOAH DAMONS USING A OZONYS, I MUST GET ONE, seriously kid your a sheep, mono mini's arent made for trials so they obviously will break, but whatever its your bike kid. i never maintain my hope and its sweet, and i've had both a bb7 and mono trial and would take the mono trial over bb7 any day.

trials owns Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 abit of topic, what is your gold lever? is it a echo sl but looks different to the one on tarty as thinking about buying a longer lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Styles Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Strange how Damon is using one... he uses double V brakes actually and if i was you, i would get rid of the ZHI cranks, ZHI parts are wank. plus cranks are a good way of saving weight if your a weight weenie...
