My hex went from 80x40 for a long time (loved that) to a 90x17 in a attempt to get a little more pure trials while still having decent manuals, late 90sbiie style. and my comp bike from a 150x30 and lots of spacers , to RN a 150x30 and tiny spacer, may be going 145x25... alao my touring bike went from 80x40 to 70x30, not too much but definitely lower. the stem comparison tool web site is a godsend.

Aaaaaand cue Trialtech high rise rise bar flying off shelves... quite into the arcade bars feeling myself, but this year I'm going lower longer on most of my bikes for a tester... just with stems though, arcade bar and tt carbon..

such a great frame, saw many of them snap!! I learned rolling 180s on my cheetah print jackflash..

Thanks for the great reply. with the wheel out of the bike- when I hold the axle and spin the wheel it is very tight feeling, like a blown bb bearing (my only experience w messed up bearings are the square taper days of yore).. I'll overhaul the hub and see before I pop them out if they are ok or not. thanks again.

I've got my first new non inspired trials frame in over 10 years, and like usual in running into problems. I'm trying to fit a pro 2 hub in this inpulse blast x, the dropouts measure to 134mm- and it is very tough putting the hub straight in there. only when I put the chain on did I realize the freehub is just stuck to the frame, I'm no stranger to filing things down but I'm not sure I want to file down the drive side dropout... is there any way I could make this fit?? This happened late last night so i didn't tinker with it, can the non drive side washers be moved around or are they fixed? Thanks for the help, hoping to not have to go ffw.. Edit: also the hubs bearings are totally shot. Easy replacement ? Quite surprised they are blown, only ridden trials on it for a year or so. Have never opened it up, no skipping problems. double edit: went at it today with a fresh head, changed the cog spacers around and added a thin pedal washer...now it rolls! All about that half millimeter Looked up hope overhaul , how necessary is it to have the special cylinders to set the washers and seals? Could I not leave the hub in the sun and freeze the bearings, then just plop them in ?

You liked it? Lots of different people in the world, many enjoy sounding. Google it. There was no effort put into this video, not even a semblance of a bright idea. A jumbled bag of eurotrash. I love my McDonald's, GO TRUMP he would probably kick you out of this country.

I feel the same... if it was just normal ass tubes it would be my favorite looking bike... I go back and fourth on the curved thing, we will see when it's all built up- I've hopped on it (no chain no front brake) and tried to feel it out, I think I'm going to be much happier than on my Gu. the integrated tensioner and booster are nice touches, I'm a light/smoothish rider but for some reason the frame scares me into thinking it might break easily. Riding to bike shop for star nut installation as I speak...

All this talk of carbon and I'm over here going hmmmmmmmmm

Best one I've seen from him... very skilled, major smooth

I just retired my threshold booster.. 15 years of good service on many many frames. finally found a pogo frame I can aesthetically take interest in. Meaning total black with nothing on it, building more up tonight but I won't have a front Maggie for a while... inpulse blast x, we'll see how it feels- only ridden a Gu pogo. The logos come off very easily Much later in the night... almost

I prefer riding a trials bike in the woods to any 24" riding or this bullshit. if you can't see this as bullshit, I would call you the narrow minded person. Get yourself a jitsie neck tattoo and balance on curbs all day.

Think the title should be renamed euro comp rider awkwardly hops around on concrete stuff with amazing balance wearing painful clothing to generic shit video game music. edit: I could've rinsed that last gap with my touring bike, was it for the video to be FUNNYCRAZYWOOO EXTREEEEME FREERIDING #jitsie #jitsie #jitsie

Sick freeriding, it was like watching new world disorder. second video Hans just came out with riding his pogo thing... did you see the one with brunottieSTARRRR hop hop hop

The Vinco was a a strange strange bike to ride in a world of low bb bikes...

Are you aware of the fact they just had a statement saying their "company" is totally f**ked for money and won't make any more frames ? And you are aware their previous company f**ked tons of people out of money? Took order$$ and declared bankruptcy... No idea what you are trying to say about a currency.

Can you even buy hashtags stuff anymore ? Why isnt it called pound sign? Why is this a hashtag when did it become something other than the pound sign ####### #inspired #streettrials #badbusiness #getmegollowers #fallow4fallow #ineedlikestofeelreal #helpmefeelreal #worstnameevermade #likefivetriplefootjamwhipsinarow #sofrench #sobad #declarebankruptcy #neverforgetKOXX

Woodman t pro, I think it had a -20 bottom bracket, 1080... rode the shit out of that bike, sold it then the buyer broke it in a month... good times on in the crescent ilions, but I would never want that shit early integrated headset again. I could make a better system out of sand and a coconut.

Largest group ride in Los Angeles today, probably more people together than any time in the last 2-3 years. One new guy who should hopefully stay in Los Angeles for a while... four riders...

What was that way you had me bleed my brakes last, I had never done it like that before but it worked very well... normaly I do exactly like Magura says, but you had a different way - like sucking the fluid in by lever pulling or something ..?? trying to make my pogo full gay pride... the ti hub axle probolts I got are black as night, dodged a bullet there. not that there's anything wrong with that

Let me guess the only ti barbed fittings are those gay pride ones??

That seat angle!! Beautiful.... roflllllll

Thanks for the replies. I'm a TT fanboy, now I've got to get three of those levers... is the carthy one just big daddy pimping ? $$$ How much weight would the splitter add- those little barbs weigh nothing... offset it by getting ti bolts everywhere ? I've ridden whatever works parts for 20 years, and want my two bikes to be full pimping now... why not, I can't ride 3 hours every day like I used to, i work too much... so I can buy fancier parts? Not sure it makes sense for happiness but such is life.

Now if someone was to give me all the fancy things I would love to have them, but third rate riding and "idea" to make a video + super hi quality everything is exactly like seeing a guy with a $500 kit + $10,000 carbon bike go slow as f**k up a hill. Totally lame. I'm old school, my soul is stuck in the right click save as and wait 3 hours to watch a movie world. Clicks mean nothing, everyone should just make what they like and listen to their heart...james b and flipp both have soulfull vids...and where the hell are the new clean videos? I miss Mark W editing!!

I'm going to a try front Magura for pogo fun times and need to buy a front hs33... what's the best set up today?? I've run a 2005 hs33 on the back for 12 years, and the ghetto ones before that... I will not run a long bendy lever like all the new racingline etc- the trialtech levers looks great, close to as short / as stiff? / more powerful than the 05 lever, I love every trialtech product I've ever had (always strong enough and works well). I don't know anyone who's got these levers in the USA so I could try them, anyone here have some experience now that they've been out a little while? If I go for this lever, what slave should I pair it with? rockman slave x trialtech clear hose x splitter would be quite nice...racing line or tt splitter?

You've got the basics, you just need to fine tune it... doing it over and over and over and over and over times years of riding is how you get it to be ideal. You've opened up a conversation with a bicycle once you started riding trials. Like any relationship it takes years to learn the ins and outs... the people who are really good, who you look up to, have been doing it for a long long time... when they were kids they began. Their muscles have adapted to the demands they put on hem and they grow to do specific things. Your technique is way better than most "bunnyhops" done in the mountain bike community- clipped in, both wheels up... at least you have the front up then pull the back. just keep riding looooots
