nafan Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Firstly I have taken some new pics; This is my bike with my old deore/X221 front wheel; http://photobucket.com/albums/v15/SeanT/Na...nt=DSCF1101.jpg And this is my personal rim grind; (well rim file) (Y) (N) http://photobucket.com/albums/v15/SeanT/Na...nt=DSCF1097.jpg What you think? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 trials on a budget - just the way I like it!! Looks a little long for me though i'm only 5'6, rim grind looks quite neat - does it make a significant difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Nice bike,whats the make of it??? and why did you make it single speed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvtrial Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Singlespeed ? (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 It's a barracuda subway and the rim grind isn't too bad actually, considering I used a file.... (Y)" :P I made it single speed because I was only using one gear and it is a lot easier and I also heard a lot of trialsers were doing it. I got lucky with the tension however so as long as I keep the ratio and the chain the same, I'm good... (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxer1 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 How come you have no tensioner or anything?! the chain looks quite slack, does it slip alot or come off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nafan Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Lol I have new forks on the way in black so I'm gonna spray my stem (again) black but I was wondering what colour my boosters should be, I may be cutting my seat tube down so I won't have a seat.... ;) The chain used to fall off but now I've swopped to a TAYA it's fine, it's just whether you're stupidly lucky... Please feel free to comment on colour change... :P (So I don't have to start a new topic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
