Explosifpete Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Looks like a great deal for £100 and it will be a fun bike. Have fun hopping about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steezywonder Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Bit of an update im finding it difficult to do even basic moves I find stuff a lot easier with front suspension is there any like trials specific front suspension forks or should I look for a set of dirt jump forks?? Sorry if these seem like really basic questions but I've really enjoyed watching trials and but never tried riding a trials bike maybe I'm missing the point of a trials bike lol sorry for the rambling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Close ups of the forks? They look like lower end trials forks. Dirt jump rigid forks will be much longer and heavier, they'll feel horrible as that frame is not meant for suspension length forks. There is no trials specific suspension fork as suspension is not what you want for trials. What do you find easier with front sus? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
