Kieraan Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hello , new to Trials Biking so don't know much but seems really interesting.. I recently received a bike and would like to know what you guys think of it.. Is it good enough for some stunts? The suspension seems huge compared to other Trials bikes, so does the sprocket.. so im wondering what i should do about them or are they alright? . All i know is that it has Atomlab rims, Nokian tyres, Atomlab pedels, Bomber handlebars, Magura brakes and a Hope front disk brake? Thanks! .

Tioz Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 lol I think you'd just better get rid of that suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tioz Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Lol right .. so what things should be changed..? I would say fork and gearing..that sprocket will get smashed very soon otherwise For the rest I think you could have some fun on the streets with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Well obviously the forks, but wont that give you a massive BB drop as rigid forks will be a fair bit shorter? So it would be a nightmare to ride like that, meaning a frame change may be in order too. Cranks & BB are no good, gearing is way too difficult, then possibly bars & stem depending on how it feels to ride (Stem looks a bit short) Personally I'd use it for what its made for and buy a trials bike if you wanna learn trials...

heartohelp:) Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 those forks would ruin the geometry and weigh a ton to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
