SamKidney Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Trials bikes are shit. Can count the times I've ridden it on one hand and the forks have cracked in less than two months. No hooks, no huge taps or front moves. Money pit, can remember why I went off them again now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Often it's part selection that causes issues unfortunately... What exactly have you broken, where, and how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forks, believe it or not haha Above the brake mounts on the legs, b1k3 eklipse fork. Looked fairly burley which is why I went for them haha Unsure how, I've only had it built a few weeks and been out on it a handful of times. Not fully in the swing of riding again yet and no where near confident enough to give them enough abuse to crack this quickly Edited June 15, 2015 by SamKidney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fully in the swing of riding again yet and no where near confident enough to give them enough abuse to crack this quickly I meant specifics Which you did provide. All 4-bolt forks (especially 26") will break unless they are over a few hundred quid, over a kilo or designed really well, it's just the way it is unfortunately. You just have to work out which ones will last the longest for your budget, or get a front disc. Send em back, get em warrantied, get advice from seller about what to get next - job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Speaking of alcohol, I heard about a beer festival in Lewes earlier this week and have been gagging for today to go and check it out. Get all the way down there via getting lost somehow (I should know the way, it's where I got married...) only to find out it was ticket only. Rubbish first world problem. I've solved the issue, though, by purchasing a range of ales to go with the dinner I'm currently whipping up, so it's not all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Got to work at 5:45 and realised I'd forgotten to pack any porridge or weetabix, as a result I'm now f**king starving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Think it's time to just pack trials in 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Think it's time to just pack trials in Just do it then. If you're not enjoying something your doing and not getting paid for it there's no reason to do it, and it's not like it's something you can't come back to. Oh and people who use self checkouts that have a tonne of stuff to scan but are determined not to talk to a human so spend 15 minutes trying to scan their breakfast biscuits.

Muel Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Think it's time to just pack trials inDo it, don't hang around. I did and you just end up owning a bike while it depreciates. Might as well sell up and put the money in the bank, and buy a newer, better bike if you ever get back into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
