mat hudson Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 how do you think this would hold up on a trials bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Not very well? It's probably not super strong, probably doesn't have the sort of geometry you'd want for trials (length and rise), and would probably flare the f**k out of the outer sleeve. It's made for tandems. If it was good for trials, people would use it already :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 There is also the fact that discount bicycles are the biggest bunch of bike shop cowboys i've ever had the pleasure of buying a bike off. Basically if you bought it they WILL tell you it's your fault if it breaks and that you can't return it if it's the wrong part if you want to send it back. Once your money's with them you won't get it back. I bought a shogun gatecrasher off them when i first started mtbing and within 1 week of me riding it as i was changing gears the chain got caught on my tyre and ripped my mech off the frame. When i rang them up they told me i should have made periodic adjustments to my barrel adjuster to keep the mech shifting correctly then they said the chain must have stretched :( :D . when i told them it was only a week old they ended up shouting at me saying that i don't know anything about bikes :D then they hung up. I only wanted a new mech hanger. :( I rang shogun up and they said they'd had a lot of complaints about that shop and they sent me a new mech hanger, rear QR skewer and axle, as well as all the bearings and bolts for the rear wheel. just in case my axle had bent as well. Just thought it'd be better for you if you knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 would you spend £50 on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
