flipkickbs Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Bikes always start out like that, but with each part you replace (unless you replace it with the same crap), it gets stronger, so eventually your bike will be far better, and less prone to breaking.

bikerboy16 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 yea mate i seem to have the same problems soon as i get my bike fixed and get back into the rhythm of my bike it breaks again it cost so much money but i think trials bikes are meant to break so you have to keep on fixing them and forking out money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewannnn Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 The more money you put into the parts you buy the longer they will last, middleburn cranks cost about £140 but will last you atleast 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike addict Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Yes that paragraph basically sums up what happens to me all the time. i hate problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Got a new frame the other week and sorted all my components only for my brake hose to snap went home fixed it job done non the wiser. Just dont try an do the cheap option as it will just break ensure each part you get is up to its job. If you don't have the level of mechanics knowledge then get it fitted by somone else or search on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanLast year at this time I was getting sick of my bike because I stripped out the cranks and had a bike shop try to fix them. I would get them fixed and they would do the same thing again. I ended up buying new cranks and it was money well spent. Bikes are money pits and it kind of suck but trials is way to rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
