Benjonson Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Hi everyone, I'm new to trials biking and looking to upgrade my bike. What are the best brake setups, lightweight wheels/tires, and handlebar/stem combos for improved performance and durability? Any game-changing upgrades you’d recommend? Thanks for your advice!

La Bourde Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Hey, you are in the wrong subforum. What kind of bike do you have? Street/trials or comp bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Bourde Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 The only game changing upgrade I recommend is a new freewheel with 135 engagement points. If the bikes uses disc brakes and you are not happy with, you can either change the brake pads for dedicated trials brake pads or switch to better brakes (hope, magura mt7 or BB7 if you don't want much maintenance). You can lighten the bike. If your tyres are Maxxis Creepy Crawler, you can get the new Monty tyres, that are lighter. Lighter wheels, titanium bottom bracket, titanium screws, carbon bar, titanium axle for the pedals, lighter tubes (aerothan or other). The lighter the bike the slower you get tired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
