Im a newby to trials bikes so if anyone could tell me what size chain i would need would be a big help! Cheers Buy a big, thick bmx chain. Try KMC Onza kool chain. You need a thick one though. And as long as you have the chain splitter tool, just get a big chain and cut it down. Tarty bikes has all the trials chains. Get one off there Kieran.

Thanks mate, would it make pedal kicks easyer if i had shorter crank arms?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks mate, would it make pedal kicks easyer if i had shorter crank arms?? depends because 175mm cranks are meant for stock 26 inch bikes, its should do if your knees dont hit the handle bars which isnt very likely.

Cheers, i have just measured the afterburner cranks i have on my onza! they measure 175 from middle of the pedal hole to the middle of the hole that goes onto the bottom bracket and my knee`s didnt hit the handle bars on the onza.. so hopefully they will be ok fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
