J Trials 31

I'm pretty sure I asked him a while back and he said it was an Inspired.

Yeah, I put that up a while back. My favorite vid of all time. I need to start putting up more vids that I have on the computer.

I put that up a while back. The green bike is an Inspired. The black one he rides the rest of the vid is a Megamo.

Keep the old school and get a new school. Don't get rid of that. That thing is sick!

Just thinking. I will be trying to get rid of some of the A3 soon and going to be building up the Monty. Should I look at getting Monty bars and stem or stick with the ones that I have?

Thanks for that ! Excellent vid of Benito!

I run a 180mm Hope on the front of my A3. Has a really nice feel.

What's up with your forks? They crack or something?

Then give me yours. lol, but yeah maybe your right on the wheelbase issue. My old T-Rex was sort of like that I'd go to turn and scuff my shoe on the tire. Plus I got sort of big feet though. I wouldn't have just the 24" so I could change things around and such. Oh and I thought steel frames didn't flex as much? I thought they were stiffer?

Sure, you can just give me your Leeson. lol ( or did you get rid of it) can't remember. Super slick bike! I want a 24" so bad!!!

Aw, man! Didn't know the Zoot got stolen. Wish I could have stolen it. ( Just joking) I hope you get it back. The Echo looks pretty nice and simple.

Sick! Love it, just don't like the colors, but that could be changed.

Really slick vid! Quite enjoyed that!

What's not reliable about the Hope's? What goes wrong? I've had mine for a year now with no problems and no adjustment. Just wondering why others have not had good luck.

I've tried BB7's, Louise, and Hope. They are all really great brakes. Just really depends on what your budget is I guess. Any of those three and you'll be fine.

PM, I'll have to figure how much I can sell it to you for. Most places here in the U.S. still have them instock. Are they sold out in the Uk? I thought they were still producing them.

Thanks for the comments guys. I actually quite like the vees compared to the maggies. Work about the same with less maintenance so far it seems, but I've never had really good luck with maggies. If I ever go to maggies on anything again they will be brand new, so I can get a better impression of how they are supposed to be.

Long A3? Some places still have those. I love mine, but I'll part with it if you'll pay extra for shipping.

Nah, unfortunately not. I don't have a camera and I don't have a chance to ever ride with anyone, so nobody around to film. Just nobody really interested in trials much in the U.S. right now. Oh, the reason I have two is because I got a really good deal on the Zhi that I couldn't pass up. Really wanting to trade it for a 24" in the near future though.

Pretty awesome chilled vid!

I have some Meta cranks on my Zhi. I've been riding it lately and noticed the pedals seemed to be loose, but I checked and they are not. It seems to have an insert where the pedals go and that insert is moving around. Anyone experienced this and what ways are their to solve it?

yeah last one Oh, forgot to say, The A3 frame and some stuff from that bike will be for sale soon, in order to build up a Monty 221 TI I have. Also, might trade the ZHI for a 24" if it's right. I don't how much good will come of me saying that, especially since I live in the U.S. lol

We'll start off with my A3. Just recently got it working again, after being out of order after breaking a Tensile freewheel. Thanks to my bud Chris Pitts, I got a new Monty FW and some uber nice Shimano DX pedals. Spec is: Frame: Adamant A3 Fork: Echo Lite with reversed maggie mounts and disc Wheels: Blue V!Z rims on blue V!Z hubs with red V!Z rimtape Tires: Worn out Maxxis Creepy Crawlers Bar: blue V!Z Max bar Stem: High rise V!Z mod stem Cranks and BB: Echo sq. taper pedals: Shimano DX FW: Monty Brakes: Front 180mm Hope, rear Maggie with steel braided lines and orange Tango 44 pads Next is the Zhi ZM2, I recently got this from a good friend Gary Kyle, he's Tappets on here if your wondering. Really fun bike and I'm quite pleased with it. I haven't changed a thing on it yet. Spec on this is: Frame: Zhi ZM2 Fork: Zhi vee and disc mounts Wheels: Zhi or Echo rims on Joytech hubs Tires: Maxxis Creepy Crawlers ( haven't changed the rear one yet though) Bar: Bionic risers stem: Zhi Cranks and BB: Meta pedals: Wellgo FW: Tensile ( hope this one don't break) lol Brakes: Front and rear Avid SD5's with Moe pads and cheap Tektro levers Pictures are large I guess. lol Few pics of them together

The most ultimate frame ever!

Really like the frame. Looks like a real good one.
