trialsin808 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hi Ive not yet finished my re-build yet, Im waiting on a new front brake but do you guys think the reason I couldnt get very much lift is because my rear wheel was only a deore LX on a D521 rim? I couldnt run very low tyre pressures and I dont weigh very much so I wasnt bouncing onto the tyre much at all? I now have a Koxx tryall rim on the rear with 2.6 Kenda tyre, also the front wheel when its built will be a 24/7 45 mm wide rim aswell...I am running clim8 rear disc but as I mentioned its not quite finished bike...Giant Hawyes frame and DMR straight forks chris king headset, I cant wait to start riding this !!! Please, will my new rear rim combo help me get more height? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 ...DMR straight forks...are they the trailblade forks? as they are not the lightest forks in the word. You may want to think about getting something lighter as it will help you get the front wheel up and help keep you balance as it will lower your centre of gravity when the front wheel is in the air.

trialsin808 Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Hi Yes the forks are trailblade, Ok Thanks for reply,l I really didnt think that I could lower centre of gravity by reducing weight on front end but its good physics really. I do have some lighter forks, they are P-bones, but they feel like they lowered the BB height on my frame and made me lean over the front wheel more... Is this a problem really? It felt funny to ride anyway and I put my trailblades on. I found the DMRs very easy to use as a counter balance when pulling manuals, but im here to learn how to climb higher obstacles!
