Mr Motivator Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'm getting my lil bro a trials bike, and sorting out some stuff. Im getting an old avid calliper and machining a new calliper adaptor. Seeing as its going to have 10 inch wheels it needs to be small.

Tartridge Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hmm, interesting. Why not just make it a non-IS mount? I assume the frame/fork doesnt already have one, and you'll have to put one on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 One and a half but this will be for his 2nd birthday :lol: I know about the 16 inch montys etc, but this is gonna be like a mod for him :'( Iv got rims already and 10" Kenda tyres :( I dunno about cranks though, where can I get tiny tiny cranks? I might be able to get some steel ones off an old trike or soething. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Get some FSA powerpros or similar and cut them down, file them off, drill a pedal hole and thread it/helicoil it. Ive seen a set of shimano XTRs done in the same way for a kid XC rider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Finally someone that can use a mini seat to its full potential!! What about the stem and bars, are you going to make them as well? You could just buy a really crap old kiddies bike and salvage it! Why not just use a 160mm rotor or a 200mm, lol it would be as big as the wheel. Which just reminds of this: You have probably all seen it ages ago but hey its weird! Make sure you post up a pic of the finished bike, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Thats a design I did in about 10 mins. Iv'e got one with propper scaled measurements too :'( Iv got the seat tube not too far back so I can put a post in there and still be able to put a seat in there that I can rise up and down as no doubt he'll be using it for a get around :lol: Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Clive Leeson used to muck around with 130mm rotors on the front of Kris's trials bikes with specially machined calipers. Give him a call. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you ride because someone else makes you? ← methinks sam was joking........or at least i hope he was :- he he sounds a cool idea anyway-but why use a disc? surely a rim brake will provide enough power? well it does for the majority of us.....he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a call. Rich ← Yeh i remember pictures of those on the leeson website. On 26" bike i dont know how a rotor so small can provide sufficient braking. Anyway this little bike sounds like its gonna be mint, youll have to post pics when its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
