I would really like to get a Kris Holm frame on my Nimbus trials, but I
wan't to know if it would fit. Will it?

So what's this whole "I can't get into trials because I don't have a
course" thing about? Don't you have a town? If you don't have a town,
then you must have space... so quit whining and build one.

Kinda off topic, but still about trials. Are you supposed to know how to
hop SI to the left and right? I can only really hop to left, left foot
forward

Just search the forums for Q-factor, it's been explained about 1,000
times. It's nothing to worry about in trials until you start riding
very, very skinny rails (where the rail is less than the width of your
tire)



How often do you guys check your wheel for roundness


Never. If nothing "feels funny" when riding, then I don't worry about
it. I just squeeze my spokes now and then to make sure nothing's too
loose, and tighten 'em when I find a loose one. I don't think I've
trued my wheel since I built it years ago.

Not off topic at all. Hopping both directions is a great skill to have
but not entirely necessary... until you get into super-precise trials.

If I've got room to move, and I have to jump to my "weak side", I just
do a quick 180 hop before jumping. Sure, it takes a little more effort,
but not as much effort as learning to hop to my weak side.

Thanks maestro8.

I was wondering which tire pressure you guys prefer, if I do some
Trials or street I like my tyre with little pressure but then if I do
some big drops or flying of stairs just after, I allmost touch the rim.
Do you decide what you want to practise and choose your tire pressure
after that or do you just pump your tire up to worst case...

Its personal. What ever is going to feel good enough for your hops, and
has enough cushion that when you land bigger drops, you dont bottom out.

I'm attend the "it's the technique, stupid" school of trials. I like
to pump my tire up fairly hard such that, not only is there no bottoming
out, there's also no cushion.

Yeah the drops are harder, but it's manageable with good technique. It
forces you to make more precise landings, as your tire is less
forgiving. I got the idea from Evan Byrne and have been running with it
for over a year now... works best for urban trials, IMHO.

Score! Can now static up two stairs at a time! (in a set, not just
separate two stair sets) Also static plastic green benches.

i dont get it. so there is no bounce for prehops? i dont see how a
super hard tire would be good for anything. especially urban trials.
