I've seen it done. The parts were bought from a BMX store. There was a steel arch with brake posts that was hose clamped onto the fork and the seatstays. It was a heavy solution.
I ran into one of Joeys henchmen (Josh or maybe Jason.... I can't remember...) and he told me what was up. There will be no trials competition of any sort at Sea Otter. No speed trials, no observed trials, nothing. There will be a trials playground built up for funning around on right at the...
if price is the biggest concern-- stop by some LBSs. People upgrade their rigid forks for suspension and leave them at the shop. I bet if you haggle, you could get a nice (steel) one for 10 bucks.
>What? That is my name.
I guess there are two of us.
Whenever I order from Jenson, they try to guess my address from their database of previous customers. They always guess some other guy first who has the exact same name as me. Does your last name start with B? because that would be...
Are you the Kevin who comes up to Davis to pick up your girlfriend on Tuesdays, or are you the other kevin that I haven't met yet? I'm Nikolai.
Me and Justin went to Santa Cruz yesterday to ride. We were supposed to meet up with Alex and Phil, only they were two hours late, so we ended up...

Thats something that bugs me. It seems to me that all these people write into biketrials.com that they run some xc tire in the rear and run 20 psi urban, 12 natural. They don't list their weights, so I have to assume that they are sub 100 pounds. I don't see how "smoothness" has much to do...
You don't need to get something that is too small for you. If you shop for a low top tube bike, you can get something that fits you well for XC riding and still can have fun on for trials. Look at the Santa Cruz Chameleon, Azonic DS1.... theres others that I can't think of right now.... I...
>I dunno, maybe a trials bike would help.....
A trials bike would be of minimal help in learning to do rear wheel hopping(as long as you are practicing on a hardtail). I got one when I could pedal kick around reasonably well expecting that it would transform my riding. It didn't. The...
