anyone knows what fork this gentlemen in the video is running? i am interested to run something like that. Thanks for any help and info!

Hello guys, I am getting a 2nd hand norco moment, yea i know its ryan leech old frame. i am into doing street trials that pure trials, and i prefer a 26 than a 24, which is my reason for getting that.. I am thinking that is it a must to set it up with a front sus fork? as is the frame designed for that purpose? i am more keen on having a rigid (low cost, lighter, low maintence) but i am not eliminating the option of having a front sus.. Need opinions on this.. thanks!

thanks Joe! i kinda get what you mean already =) so basically modulation is used only on the front disc right? like maybe when rolling along a narrow line and stuff..

Hey guys i made a mistake! my frame doesnt have rear disk mounts so i am stuck with my maguras Vs.. hence for now i am only left with the option of getting a brake booster and a set of quieter pads.. However as a new rider i think it might be my incorrect braking technique that might be causing all the squeaking.. what i mean is that i have been modulating the brakes like what i have been doing to my normal MTB for years, instead of just using the on/off braking.. i find that once i started using on/off breaking, especially with the front(disc) before my rear i almost reduce the squeaking by 70percent! may i ask here that do trails biking need brake modulation? or its mostly/always a on/off braking.. thanks and appreciated as always! =)

yup fortunately it has disk mounts.. do i have to change the whole wheel with hubs? Do i have to change the whole rear brake set too?

i guess i now my options with be 1. try a brake booster first, if it doesnt reduce the squeaking to a level that i can practice at night, then i shall go for rear disk for great silence.. anyone knows if magura Vs can be converted to disc? my rear is running chris king hub btw..

thanks guys! so can i say that my safest bet is to run front and rear disk for a almost silent braking? (with modulation? )

thanks for the quick reply dale!! i am just worry that going front and rear disk will break the frame or something.. i am not doing any agreesive stuff now.. just learning the basics like trackstand, hopping and pivoting... how far can front and rear disc take the punishment to? thanks again! thanks jack! a newbie question here.. how does brake booster help in reducing the squeaking? i only knows that its the additional piece which is attached above the frame with the brakes... thanks!

hi all, name: jason bike: czar 26" other hobbies: drumming, music, family, life (yes i think life is a hobbie, should do our best in making it the best rite) just started bike trial few weeks ago.. so yup learn from all!

Hello everyone, i am a new trial rider. Just got my first trials bike a 26" czar. Comes with Maguras front disc and rear Vs on a grinded rim. However my brakes especially the rear are squeaking rear loud. As in i live in a communal areas of flats and work in the day, i cant practice at all in my only free time at night with brakes that squeak loud.. may i ask if there are any methods of having brakes as silent as a MTB? perharps i changed a new rim or do front rear disc? thanks and appreciated for all help and advice given!
