The low-backsweep Breeth bars definitely helped my wrists for daily riding, especially as they can be cut a bit more to still get an acceptable wrist angle for the same shoulder width.

Shameless self-promotion: https://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/194489-i-made-a-comp-frame-with-a-seat/ The first frame has logged 500 hours now. Can be made with more in-between geo by David Hoffmann, e.g. 1050 +40.

I'd really like to see that as well. Especially interested in torsional stiffness of the wheels on huge jumps to brake-induced full stop (Rolling to rear, gap to front).

Respect for doing that 10p sidehop on Harry Main. Also Main doing a 5p cousty sidehop from rear after fifteen minutes on a modern comp bike is probably a new learning speed world record for Trials. Further evidence for a cross-discipline bike skill level, after Sam Pilgrim's inconclusive experiments.

As far as I know, and for pure trials, we have Breeth, Camin, Clean, Monty, Taboo, all 20" bikes, and the 26" Clean K1.

Thank you! Now we'll just have to bug them to mass-produce it (and probably rake up a huge deficit in the process...)

I love the matching forks/frame/wheels thickness and the carbon peek logo. The tensioner does look a bit exposed, but Danny knows his sidehops, so it probably won't matter. @Ali C Do you by any chance know the diameter of the rear axle? It does look a bit small to me to be a 12 mm.

Can someone post a link to World Cup standings? There used to be a table somewhere on the UCI pages. Found it under 2016, but is actually 2017: http://62.50.72.82/uciroot/wctri/2017/results.aspx?id=53839&name=Antwerp&date=23-24.09.2017&language=eng

It should be +20 on this frame, tell this Halfords guy to measure it and demand refunds if no match.

See first post, I edited it accordingly.

I used the Hex as a test mule with comp parts last autumn. However, the wheelbase and the low BB made it a bit sluggish on the backwheel. That's why this thing in the photos above exists. Also, I wanted to advance on some construction features. The curved Kloud-style down tube is for my individual style preferences only.

Thanks! I'd reckon that I live in this alternative future now. We might also be working on some other kinds of alternative futures...

Thanks! Lots of sweat in there. No build pics were taken, sorry. Video will be done soon.

To avoid this, I made this: 72, 1080, +60, 1,5", many ideas of David Hoffmann in this frame, the usual painfully branded comp trials parts For two decades, there was Hoffmannbikes, selling custom Trials frames in Germany. Considering his nephew David Hoffmann, and the still-existing workshop, it could be done. PM me for interest, I'll forward it.

Finally, someone else has seen the light. I had a similar Hex setup last autumn to test things - but mine wasn't looking as good as this one.

Looking really good now.

Trashzen to the rescue. These two combined, using the momentum of the first to make the second one a bit easier: http://www.trashzen.com/biketrial-180-turn.php http://www.trashzen.com/biketrial-180-turn-2.php They are hopping a bit for the 180 sometimes, but as seen in the 360 in one turn, it can be done without lifting both wheels. For the 90-180-90=360 for most riders, there was a nice vid of Kenny B where he did it on the flat when he had this 24 street trials bike. I can't find it. But many BMX tutorials show it as a 90-210 or 230. It needs some practice to do more than 270 completely in the air starting from flat ground...

You could also try to learn the 360 on the backwheel only or on the front wheel only. But the rear wheel is hard on your joints while learning it, and the front wheel move is really difficult. I mean how many riders can do that?

No, its a double 180, 360 on the flat would be a jump, which is really a short 90 deg manual, a 180, and another short 90 degrees manual for most riders.

You could practice the double 180 on the flat. Turn in, push hips beside the stem, turn with hips and knees, keep weight there until landing, then push hips back, twist starting from the head. In the second 180, when you lift the front wheel, try to straighten up mid-move like when you are doing a pedal-up, but keep your head and body twisted, looking at your landing already.

They'll rob our asses blank with that. They'll tell us that they can't offer a job currently, or we will get "best personal offers". They'll base it on our social media circle, our online wording, on the time we get up on Sundays, and on how aggressively we drive. It is not like that anyone sells anyone any data directly (imagine the outcry), it is just service companies offering statistically proven analysis services for other service companies, and some privacy policies with lots of "may" and "such as". Compared to this worst case, Hitler and Mielke were amateurs in Totalitarism. Sorry, sometimes this shit gets me. But now that i've taken my meds, we can continue with Trials talk...
