The Canyon looks amazing, very nice. I tried a Strive on the weekend but would like to try the Torque. And also the YT Capra. The Rocky Mountain Slayer though is an absolute beast. Not sure which of those should get my money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Also can you confirm the front hub doesn't have a disk rotor mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Zoomed in, it doesn't have a disc mount. Looks like a nice ride, I'd love a jump bike again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, didn't realise it was such a hi res pic until I clicked it! It's a bit irritating as I'd like to fit a front brake. Could rebuild the wheel with a new hub I suppose...

My Canyon is so much more stable in the air but then again, it doesn't flick around as easy. The Dirt Love is my first Dirt Jump bike and today was the first proper ride. I dunno how to jump yet but I have cleared the first small table already. Here's a video of the bike. A Hope Pro 4 Trials hub is on order already and yes, the front doesn't have a disk mount. And here's a vid of myself doing the first jumps on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Looks like a neat bike. You change the brake to the Shimano? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Couldn't resist getting a Hope Pro 4 trials hub for my dirt bike and while I was at it, got a DT Ex471 rim as well. Doesn't get any stronger than this. Edited April 24, 2018 by niconj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 So, I ordered this in October's cyclescheme window and didn't get it until January. Only been out a few times on it and the only additions are a Brand X Ascend dropper and some DMR V6 pedals but I love it. 120mm travel is probably a bit low for you guys but it'll do me for round here, wouldn't want to spend much more considering how often I get out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 My Camber Evo just washed in time for some bigger discs. Went from 180/160 to 203/180. Feels better already. Check that munter of a brake mount. Im between grips at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Just looks weird because there's hardly any *trials* upsweep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 They appear to be setup with downsweep (is that a thing?) which looks totally wrong. I'd have to run them so that they were at least horizontal (which looks like the rise would then be vertical relative to the ground). Are they the stock YT bars?

Ross McArthur Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 There's following BMX trends then there's having broken wrists. Set the bars up to how they suit you, not what's *cool*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
