Trials Forum Trends

Recommended Posts

One of the best ones was the various braking trends, around the time of the Trialskings.

Holroyd and co run Maguras F+R...... so does every one else

Holroyd and co switch to XTR vees F+R...... Few months later every other bike has the same setup, and the forum is raving about them. Maguras are now "cheese" brakes

Holroyd and co switch to Avid vees F+R...... Few months later every other bike has the same setup, and the forum is raving about them. XTRs are now as good as the chocolate fireguard.

Holroyd and co switch to a front disc...... Few months later every other bike has the same setup, and the forum is raving about them. No body can understand how riders managed before without the Front Disc

then back to Maguras F+R. And the circle continues.

I think that was one of the worst periods for trends, and sheep-ish behaviour. Trialskings- Planet X sponsorship also worked a trick :P

T-bone? people asking where is was for 2 years running, when it quite blatently wasn't coming out.

Profile Hubs.

St Pauls? backwards? all chin music, noone dare'd to dance. :turned:

Oo how can we forget the 'homemade pads' craze and the "everyone should make a clothing company" phase.
