SamKidney Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Very very nice. Im missing 26" a little. There are just certain aspects that I find easier on them than my 24", but I've no money to get one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banashapan Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Looking good! Would you recommend the hose splitter to be a worthwhile mod for a rear mag? - Currently thinking about it, will probably do it but interested in feedback! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Bike looks great and your riding seems to have improved a lot since the last video I saw of you. How did you remove the logos from the stem? I am thinking of getting one but hate the look of the logos Edited November 11, 2012 by streetrials24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Gething Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ive asked him before and he used paint stripper, he said it came off easily Cool, cheers dude. The only thing that puts me off that stem other than the graphics, is the rise isn't as low as some of the other sloped 150mm stems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 These are so nice. Only thing that puts me of is the integrated head tube which means i would have to ditch my king headset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narrowbars Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Would you recommend the hose splitter to be a worthwhile mod for a rear mag? - Currently thinking about it, will probably do it but interested in feedback! I've been using a hose splitter for years now, always used the Monty one before the TrialTech one came out. There pretty good yeah, just a little added extra really though. How did you remove the logos from the stem? I am thinking of getting one but hate the look of the logos Just a small amount of Nitromors (paint stripper) on a cloth and it rubs right off. You wouldn't ever know it had a logo on it before no matter how hard you looked at it Sell it to me? Nope lol Only thing that puts me of is the integrated head tube which means i would have to ditch my king headset Have run plenty of King headsets over the years on all sorts of bikes. To be honest there no better in terms of durability on a trials bike than an Echo headset etc, on a mtb then maybe due to the quality of the sealing etc but on a trials bike there just overkill. + with the integrated headtube I can get a lower stack hight wich I like Hated that frame but good if you like it. So far so good yeah, already beat my personal best on static gaps and sidehops Feels really nice on the back wheel as well, not so much on two wheels though lol Edited November 15, 2012 by narrowbars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
