nestorthegoon Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 right then guys need some stuff clarifying: right got a TREK BRUISER. PIC>>>> im turning into a trials bike but im not sure weather to put 24" wheels on it or 26" wheels? if i use 24" wheels will the bb be in trouble of being destroyed due to it sitting lower? Also what do i do about gears do i single speed it or is there and 3 speed or 2 speed conversions you can do? also can i use my dj stem and bars? lol any input will be helpful and if ive missed any issues i might come upon whilst building please inform me now before hand, CHEEEEERS!

Revolver Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Find some suspension corrected rigid forks. Singlespeed is better, 22:18 is what you're aiming for. I'd stick to 26" wheels, your frame is made for those. Just a side note, no jump bike converted to trials rides trials nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestorthegoon Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 so am i better of not doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Kinda, you're really better off saving for a true trials bike. However, as for learning the basic skills - trackstand, backhop, pedal-kick, balancing - your bike is probably capable of those as it is. You'd just need to select a lower gear. Maybe you can save for a trials bike and learn on that bike in the meantime? Course, if you've got the money now, go ahead and check out what's in the for sale section!

Revolver Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 If you're interested in a complete T-rex, my friend has one I'm sure he could be persuaded to part with for decent money. It's standard except for having koxx bloxx pads, reds and yellows IIRC, and a hope pro II trials rear wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
