But again, you could just add the same amount of turns on each side? With an M6 thread for example, 1/4 turn would be 0.25mm, this is better resolution than notched snail cams with which you're hard pushed to tell disc brake alignment from one click to the next. Surely graduations would have to be much more than 0.25mm (for example) or you couldn't see them?

Try a longer and higher stem, such as a Meta, Atomz, Trialtech Welded, V!Z Forged... will make a huge difference.

Fitting a new chain - not a problem, it's only 4 or 5 clicks from new to 3 months old. New gear ratio... all the frames with horizontal dropouts are designed to be used with only one ratio. Caliper over rotor: again the frames are for one ratio so this is not a problem. I think eccentric BB would just cause more problems than it solves... As you said, it adjusts two geometry aspects instead of one, and would add a lot of un-necessary weight. Edit: As Anal says, horizontal dropouts may not suit everyone though.

You'll really struggle to get the old ones out I believe, but best bet is to give Hope and call and see what they say. I am pretty sure they will have the bearings available.

With respect to this, the resolution on a set of Try-All snail cams is around 0.4mm (less than 0.3mm in the case of Monty, and infinite if you use smooth cams), so it makes very little difference to the geo of the bike. Once the chain has settled in (2 or 3 clicks max) you very rarely need to adjust it, maybe one click a month. I am very sensitive to changes in geometry, setup etc and I cannot notice this amount of change. To ensure correct brake setup you just add one click/the same amount of tension to each cam (left and right) when you re-tension the chain and the wheel/rotor is still aligned as previously.

Top drawer You've got mail :wink2:

Ah cool Fingers crossed you get it sorted! Ads

Hmm... have you had the hub apart? What exact order have you got stuff starting drive side and working towards the centre of the hub?

Pretty sure 1.8 will be fine... it's just to stop the two bearings binding together Stick it together and find out!

Here's the Tarty 'Bitch Bike': These ones measure up at 410mm length and 42mm offset, alloy legs and steerer. The only graphic is that one on the inside of the right hand leg. Looks to be the same disc mount as the Trialtech forks but at international standard position. Big thanks to Dave for the forks! Ads

Anodised finish

I thought this... I did 18 holes and have now sacked it off, so it's gone on my bike half round/half square

I've seen these and that doesn't do them justice! Any chance of putting the other pic up again? Cheers!

Well, 156g to be exact Alloy cages, steel axles, alloy body... price TBC.

All great points Steve, nice one. Something I couldn't work out how to say, hit the nail on the head (for me)...

Exactly...

Mark you really do seem to hate trials and all about it now, bugger off our forum I don't really get whats so special/different about those Mike Pepperami (or whatever his name is ) videos... just seems like a nice camera (£900s worth), some sunny weather and a tune that if you used it on a trials video you would get called a fag? (Which I agree works much better than screamy shite)

Which one's that one? Cheers. Edit: found it now!

Money. Trials simply can't afford to spend £1k, £2k (? I have no idea how much really, but given the amount 'pros' charge for just editing a few photos it's gotta be high) or more to get a 'pro' video made. I think there's a few things that make all these BMX videos seem much better too: - Expensive camera (wide screen HD with focal depth adjustment etc - Ok, you have to know how to use it, but it just makes the video look more pro instantly. Think bog standard digital camera Vs DSLR... which comes back to money again). - Rolling moves - always more interesting to watch... but even if these are filmed nicely with a 'standard' camera, the detail and interest is lost. - And a personal one: time. I would be more than up for investing in a posh camera and a new PC just to edit some decent videos, but I simply don't have the time to get to rides, rip footage and edit it. However, I assume all trials businesses are like this... which again comes back to money, if you can afford to pay someone to do it then you can't afford to do it yourself either. Edit: Just realised none of that makes much sense oops.

I dunno... rims 150g a pair lighter, pedals 150g lighter, stem 50g+ lighter, frame 150g lighter, no bashplate (~140g)... thats a lot of weight off!

Sounds bob on to me

Well he gets paid to do so... I am sure he would wear 'pixie boots' instead if he didn't!
