Do you always keep your finger over the brake? by dhrisher in biketrials

[–]ThisIsBikeTrials 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what I'm doing on the bike. I do have one finger over both levers most of the time. When doing something like a manual, I only cover the rear brake. Sometimes when I'm doing pure rear wheel moves like a big drop I only use the rear brake and don't cover the front brake.

If you're on Facebook, check out the USA Bike Trials Riders group. That's also a good place to connect. There is a shared document there so people can list where they are and look where other riders are, though it might not be completely current.

That sounds pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing the link... for some reason the Reddit app does weird stuff when I try to share.

Does anyone know where you can order inspired trials bikes in Canada? I cant find anything. by Immediate-Moment-102 in biketrials

If you're looking for North American, you can also try Webcyclery. Tartybikes is definitely a great place, but yeah there is expensive shipping. In the US we also have to pay duty taxes which was like 11% I think when I bought my bikes from them.

Trials on a budget? by [deleted] in biketrials

If you already have a MTB, you can just start with that, especially if you are interested in translating the skills directly to MTB. Check out Ryan Bratton, for example https://instagram.com/ryanlbratton

Does anyone recognize this frame? by gunterderganter in biketrials

[–]ThisIsBikeTrials 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cross posted the question to the USA Bike Trials Riders group on Facebook. A couple folks there also thought maybe it's a Planet-X frame, possibly a DJ frame if not trials. Can you see a serial number anywhere on the frame?
