Urpedigreechumdog Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Do you mean strength?? If so it still probably wouldn't make any sense lol >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebJT Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 He is trying to say what part of trials is most harsh on your bike, for example like he said, big drops. I would say they would be the harshed thing. Next would be front taps i think. Everything else is fine if you do it smoothly. Another problem could be bails though, like a nice gap to down tube is going to be more damaging than a 8ft drop... Hope that clarifies things (Y) Seb Ps, juicy fruit, try using the spell checker before you post >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) Yeah the thing that wrecks bikes is dropps, or a realy big gap, with a good drop. Still can't make head or tails of the opening post though >_< . Edited April 30, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colly Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 front hops on the front wheel >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 As oppose to front hops on the back wheel... (Y) From the way I read it... he wants to know what type or bike riding is moat damaging to frames and parts.. Hence this part... i acctally think trials is due to the harsh drops Says to me that he thinks trials is the harshest discipline >_< Personally I think it's big ass freeride - huuuuge drops and gaps!

SebJT Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Up on reading it again i think you are right!! In which case probably freeride. But then i supose there bikes are bigger/heavier i donno... Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 downhill i would say, doesnt look it to most people but they take some good ole abuse constantly rather than off and on like trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsking 55 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) Yeah the thing that wrecks bikes is dropps, or a realy big gap, with a good grope . Still can't make head or tails of the opening post though (Y) . ← >_< sorry could'nt resist. but yeah pointless big drops and especially big drops to rails your not confident you can make.

Burton Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Free-ride style me thinks..... Look at Josh Bender....and the film he did trying to do something like a 80ft drop-in and ended up in hospital everytime he tried it! Anyway his bike will take loads of abuse especially his wheels, rear shock, head tube and his general frame. and in trials i would say big drops, hooks, taps(front-touches), and shorting step-down gaps. BTW. VERY HARD TO READ!!!!! >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 A combination on front hooks and front taps is a sure fire way to f**k your forks. And headtube for that matter. Erm, if that is what you mean... If not, the 'Hucking' and DH'ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonPace Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 FRONT HOOKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philking Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 FRONT HOOKS. ← Yeah just looking through no-one else has mentioned them, yet they are obviously one of the most damaging things, so much stress on the steerer tube and head tube...

Connor Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) Well i think trials is, due to there is nothing to asorb the pressure on the frame, in downhill and freeride you,ve got like 8-10 inch travel to absorb your drops and that, in trials its just bare force straght onto the frame. god i wish spell check was still there.
