Another weird thing was that the "foot nut" wasn't loose at all. It was pretty tight when I went to check out the fork after it first happened (I originally thought it was the bolt coming loose and the internals coming apart like that).
From a technical perspective I would like to know if...
I don't know if anyone else out there has had this problem but after putting a DJ1 on my New Jack Flash and riding it for approximately 2 weeks (riding urban, but definitely not anything too crazy while getting used to the bike) I went up to stall on my rear tire and landed on the bash guard...
Yeah, I agree with rigid forks being more responsive. With suspension you have to learn to cope with a couple inches of your fork moving up and down while setting up/doing moves.
The only problem I had with my rigid fork was that it broke and the only replacement I had at the time was...
I've tried rigid and now I'm using suspension on my Planet X Zebdi (thanks to my Kinesis Maxlight biting the big one a few weeks ago, I should have listened to you guys here on the board). I was just wondering what some of you other riders thought about the issue of suspension vs. rigid...
Being rather new to trials myself, the first thing I really tried to learn how to do was to hop around. I think everybody learns differently though, because certain people just feel really comfortable doing moves that other people just can't get the right feel for.
Example: I can hop...
I've got me a new PX New Jack Flash and I think it could be worth looking in to. It's reasonably light, and the geometry isn't too bad on it.
Mine's 28 pounds with an old Z2 Bam on it.
After putting together the Zebdi I scored from Bonk I have had no chain problems. I don't know what it is, either the bike lets me be that much smoother, or the chainline is just way better.
Anyway, a thanks to Bonk is in order for getting me hooked up with a "real" trials bike.
Yep, seen this afore...
Reckon the only thing what ought go wrong with yer bike would be a bit 'o scrapin' from the rotor, 'n a slower ridin'.
If you are persistent, sometimes you can bend a rotor back to a servicable condition with the proper tool. Something like a chain ring tool (the...
Today after posting the initial thread here the mailman showed up at my doorstep with my Zebdi! I was so stoked I ran off to the shop to build it up immediately (much to my manager's annoyance).
It's up and running and is a world of difference over the Bruiser 1 I was using. I want to say...
I'm currently riding a Bruiser 1 that has seen some extensive changes in the time I've been riding.
I'm (hopefully) getting a Zebdi to replace it and will be pretty stoked once I get a real trials bike built up.
If I could get opinions about a few of the parts I have on, and will have on...
