      Twitchy handling.

      By Fat dwarf · Posted

      It’s a 2023. I only got it over the weekend. I’m used to mtb’s but I’m in the shorter side so I really fancied a 24”er.  I’ll try angling the bar forwards, thanks. Just got to get out there, eh?  my MTB has a slack geometry so I’m guessing the 4play is going to feel a lot different. I just didn’t expect the difference to be so severe.  plus the 4play feels so much lighter and tougher. I love it.

      Twitchy handling.

      By La Bourde · Posted

      Do you want a bike that is more stable? What is the year of you Fourplay? The Fourplay is not so much twitchy compared to a Skye or an Arcade. The first Fourplay version is even more stable. So I think you are not used to it, it is not related to this specific model. What background do you have? MTB? Bmx? If you are used to a MTB, a Hex is for sure easier to get used to.   To make the bike more stable, you can change the headset angke.,for a slacker one. There are some angleset headset available, but that is quite expensive and not all frames are compatible with. So using the adjustment available on your bike, you can only lower the bar and tilt it forward, so that you get more weight on the front.

      I guess it’s just getting used to it, but is there a way to make an inspired Fourplay a bit less twitchy just while I’m getting used to it?  I was thinking something as simple as handlebars angle adjustment but wouldn’t know which way would make things better.  Thanks.

      Saracen Flea and the dearth of cheap trials bikes

      By La Bourde · Posted

      You can go for an old trials bike from the 2000s: Megamo radical, Megamo Equip pro, Crescent, Monty, leeson, pashley, or giant trials, orange zero. If you swap the freewheel, the stem and the bar, you can have something riding really well already.

      Saracen Flea and the dearth of cheap trials bikes

      By bikeperson45 · Posted

      It's something where if a Flea was going for £100 and you're happy knowing it's not the best it could do the job for a while but it's probably worth holding off for something a little more modern. I love the Inspired's but they are pricey new, can find a few on eBay or on here, might be worth setting up an eBay alert just incase a good'un comes around. I quite liked the Zoots (with the seats), if you found one of them going cheap I'd recommend more than the Flea for sure.
