DJEHB Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 How he can ride that head angle is beyond belief. The bike must feel so strange. I wonder if he already had the frame / bike for another discipline, and then figured out it worked well. At 1k a frame it's an expensive experiment if not!

Davetrials Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 He has a UCI style mod, and from what i can tell this is third "mtb" trials bike, id pass further judgement on the geometry, but being in the process of building one my self I'll save face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marg26 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Okay on to the important stuff: why has he got inner tube wrapped around the rear hub? It's not like a chainstay that gets slapped by the chain repeatedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Bourde Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 On 2/8/2022 at 2:23 PM, bikeperson45 said: Trials really seems to look much cooler on bikes that aren't trials bikes I built recently a street trial bike based on a octane 01 spark DJ/park frame. It is so versatile, it is a lot of fun. Manuals, bunny, rotations... A lot of tricks are much easier than with a comp bike. TGS are more difficult, but when you are riding street, you don't care that much. When I am riding my pure comp bike, I really miss the rolling aspect of riding. But it is a nice device to train and to have fun in a different way. I think street trial bikes will continue to evolve and merge with park/pumptrack bikes. The only part missing is a gear system that is not exposed. I really enjoy this video, nice riding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 Thats my thoughts, i wanted somthing that i can pedal to a location, and have some fun along the way, it was supposed to be a cheap little build, but working in a bike shop its soon spiralling out of control, not helped by the fact we have one of the new santa cruz frames on the way next month 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
