Trials Discussion Thread

In how many thread do you want to ask it.

For mostly trials go for the KH (for trials and flat i also would go
for the KH). It has the same strenght and is lighter.

So, who uses 145mm without q-factor on there trial?
What are the pro's and the cons about it?
Question is because I might put some Qu-ax 145mm "cross" cranks on mine
trial, because of the weight profit (will save like 300gram)

One thing I don't see enough in trials vids is gaps to rails. It is
insanely hard.

I still can't pedal grab . Any tips?


Seriously? It only took about 30-45 mins of constant practice to get
them for me, but everyone's differenent.

You can do them different ways.

First way: Land on your pedal, and start swinging the uni back and
forth slowly to get momentum. Then on the last swing, make the pedal
conect with your foot when cranks are around horzontal. Now just tuck
the uni a little and combine with the momentum you got and your up. I
think of this way as how Ryan Atkins used to do them, like in this
short vid. http://tinyurl.com/2ub598 (on the white rail)

Second way: This is how I prefer to do them. Instead of swinging the
uni up and then connecting foot to pedal, you are going to land on the
ledge (or whatever) and bring the uni up so the cranks are horizontal.
Put your foot on the pedal, and lower the uni a few inches, but keep
your foot on. Now just bring your foot, leg, and the uni up and tuck.

Hope I helped.

After the popular street discussion thread, I thought it would be a good
idea to start something similar.

Discuss anything trials:

-technique
-accomplishments
-questions/answers (all welcome)
-parts evaluation and comparison
-trials courses
etc.

I love trials, but I fear that street is starting to become more
popular.

speakin of trials i need to get a new trials uni.
