ChrisTrials2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Just curious as I don't seem to be able to manage a month at most without something breaking or pissing me off severely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Does a puncture count? I have Dmr tyres so I get a fair amount of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I find I have huge amounts of time with no issues. That's generally the time when I'm thinking about riding instead of doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials hoe Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 dont tend to brake bits very often. but having a bit of ocd means everything about my bikes pisses me off a lot, stupid things likel hose length, lever travel not being the same and the such....

ChrisTrials2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I think I just talk to the wrong people about the bike, which makes me think I've broken more than I have actually done. Namely my parents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Maybe 2 weeks without touching anything, but by the end of that period it needs a fair bit of fiddling with normally. EDIT: For the purposes of being mis-quoted, I'm talking about my bike, not my dick. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULtrialsguy Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Usually a pretty long time for me. Trials bikes are pretty basic so you don't have to worry about gear shifters, derailers and suspension components. That being said I did recently break my BB axle and have gone through a couple of mech hangers. Also I suppose if you include having to grind your rims, which I find very annoying, then at least once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) i have only the normal wear stuff,no problems at all. as a bike mechanic i am more passionated about doing maintenance to my bike than other people,i think.... check your bikes once a week and youll be fine.

SamKidney Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Used to be every week without failure. Always something that needed adjusting, repairing etc... Gone a whole 3 weeks with nothing wrong with my 24" though! And its had a beating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 believe it or not i went about 4 months without anything going wrong. didnt break anything or change anything. then i felt the need to switch stuff up, so i bought some new parts and re-bled brakes etc, then i had to keep adjusting stuff and tweeking it, now its been fine about a month. and now im about to buy new parts and start the cycle over again....
