alex_trials Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Always but from TartyBikes. Best website for all trials bits and pieces. As for what to buy? I'm sure somebody with more experience on here can help you with that - as I've only just started trials myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davbrow4 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 heythanks for the quick reply guys! Ive only just picked up my frame this after noon, i payedOnza Zoot frame £70Onza Fatty forks £20Onza drilled rim with onza hub £30I already have a magura hs-33 for the back and im trying to sort out an adapter for the front. I usually ride DH and all mountain and i have done some BMX before, i can hop on the back wheel no problem.Ive never riden 24" before but a 20inch trials bike felt a bit cramped to me, im just over 6 foot and have just turned 16 (so im going to grow a bit more)I was also wondering what are some good brands for components and things, i need some cranks and a back wheel, i also could do with a freewheel...Oh and one last thing, should i run my Zoot Single speed or with gears, and what ratios should i use?Thank you very much for reading my questions, and id appreciate any replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials biker Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 hey mate i would go for the 15:18 ratio in the gears echo, trialtech,try-all cranks, and a v!z free wheel there similiar to an eno and half the price wheel trialtech rims are good and match with echo hub shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
