My aunt lives in South Korea, and she says she can watch it.

Oh thank you. I didn't see that.

Just tried to get some past results from the UCI website, but as usual, it is completely useless. I heard Marti Vayreda keeps some archive. Is there any page that archives the results? C1 would be nice, but world cups, European and world champs would even be enough for me.

It seems the Inspired Hex street trials bike has something like 73 cm effective stack (bottom bracket to hand position), and 48 cm effective reach. You could ask the shop to verify these numbers if you choose to buy a new stem + handlebar. And 26 street trials bikes got a 22:18 gear ratio. You want one finger on the brake levers. First goals are trackstand, balancing by moving the front and rear wheel, then learning how to pull the front wheel up smoothly (no head shake), which will open up manuals, pedal ups and bunny hops. You can try back hops, endo 180, 180 while learning that. These should cover the first few years.

Last year, I got me a 29" trials MTB rigid thing, and it is a failure. Frame was made by mi-tech.de, and they couldn't get the chainstays to spec in two attempts, now 450 (!), so I caved for a discount to be able to ride in summer. Parts are Shimano, Ergon, I9, Comas 115 alu handlebars, Shimano trekking XT levers, Kinesis FML30B forks. Tires are easily snaked, but they look good. I9 wheels still work, but I don't trust them, feel fragile. With the crooked geo and the 29 wheels, it is simply too large for me, so I use it mostly for manual strolls and a few lame street tricks. So next up: 26" MTB hybrid. Wheels are ready (Aliexpress hubs & Hashtagg rims), rest of the components will be reused. After the shit show with Mi-Tech, they can go to hell. So where should I get the frame this time? Campmajo?

The climbing features were nice. Putting the huge moves at position two or three in sections cut it a bit short.

We are middle aged, so nothing of significance is going down on the bikes. Just fiddling with parts in the shed.

They have single speed hubs: https://www.dtswiss.com/en/components/hubs-and-rws/hubs-mtb/240 There could well be way more hubs, but I can't be arsed to go through their maze of ill-fitting customer guidance.

Thank you. We'll try DT, they sell these separately, so we will try if we can get our hands on the 90 tooth model, or something from Aliexpress...

We found this video, it seems it's screwed in now: https://www.hopetech.com/news/the-all-new-pro-5-hub/. Now only to get this part separately...

Is the tooth ring in the Hope Pro 5 separate from the hub body? On videos, it looks like it's one with the hub body, and it isn't separate on the parts list either. But I find that strange, should be steel. Asking for a friend's pet hub project...
