justfuzzit Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) Im going with the simtra frame and i need to build it up with the right parts. I know this is personal preference, and i would like to hear your preference.-What fork is best for that frame? -What wheels should i get? Im thinking try all. but which ones? I also want to put a cassette on there so i can have a few gears to chose from. -I am going with the Hope trials disc brakes front AND rear. Unless they will slip in the rear, will they?-I think i will go with the truvativ holsfieller cranks but dont know if they still make the trials version.-I will go with Easton or Specialized bars.Any other recomendations are welcome. Thanks,-Ryan Edited June 6, 2006 by justfuzzit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 i have no idea what frame that is, but most of the questions you asked are pretty generalforks wise: canondale fatty r or echo urban are my favourite choices, if you are on a budget, check out the onza range of forks for value my fly guys that came with my zoot seem to be pretty good-light and dont grumble when i twat them hardwheels: really cant grumble with the new hope pro2 trials hubs-im really happy with mine and it pisses all over my old king. the hope lets you run a 6 speed cassette-so keeps with comp rules definately get onefor the rims, i would choose mavix ex721 rims everytime on a stock, however they dont have much width and the majority cant hack that-onza and alex do about the strongest wide rims out, check out a reggie/ronnie combo by onza, or a dx32/dm24 combo by alex-lace them up with dt swiss double butted spokes and jobs a good'un brakes: i dont really like monotrials, all the one si have used, including my own, have just been inconsistant and arent really worth the extra money over an avid bb7-this is your best bet up front, they are super powerful and combined with a decent cable and lever combo (linear slick and xtr) feel amazing-far better than a hope. as for the rear, again, i wouldnt recomend a mono trial, im not totally won over by rear discs, rim brakes are far more dependable, but again, if you want a rear disc, get a bb7 cranks: middleburns everytime, the truvative cranks are pretty hefty, but also solid performers, ive had no troubles with them and they are cheap as chips-so on a budget they are a good choice. the tensile range is pretty darn good too, but ive never personally owned any long enough to judge as my bike got stolen that had them on bars: easton bars are a solid dependable choice, ive had a few sets and really liked them, currently i use azonic doublewalls, they feel sooooooo good and come in a decent selection of rises-main reason i run them is cos i needed a 2.5inch rise of which easton dont offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
