After a year or more haitus i have decided to come back to trials. Well it is more like i can't live any longer with out trials. I didn't really leave trials willingly what happened was:
Hurt back, changed bike to street setup(tired of how long it took me to get everywhere), rehurt back, didn't do shit, started riding road bike more, started rock climbing, slowly but surely bike went into disrepair, no money, got really into rock climbing, got tired of just road biking(its really boring), tried biking rusty/sucked, hurt my middle finger rock climbing, went back to the bike, tons of stuff came back to me, and now want a better trials bike. I have been riding a zebdi, like the mark5 or something one the newer ones, and i always feel like i really just want to do street stuff. It doesn't feel trialsy enough. I want something undeniably trials and only trials.
So I have decided to build a new bike my fourth bike, now this is in totally concept phase right now, one of the things i can't stop thinking about is what should i do for wheel base. I think i am going to go for the 1080+, like an echo control. At first i was thinking about my style for doing more urban stuff but then i realized i am still going to have the zebdi for that. So does that seem like a good way to go?
Also i have been away from trials for more than a year so i have probably missed out on a lot of new products and stuff anyone feel like telling me about new stuff?
Anothering thing is i have been thinking about doing a frontfreewheel setup , what are peoples experiences with that on stock bikes?
Lastly i have always been a fan of building my bike, buying it piece by piece, but i was hoping maybe i could skip that and buy a whole bike maybe from webcyclery. Is it worth it getting like their build of a control? or do they use bad parts so it would be smart just to build my own?
Damn this is kind of longer than i wanted and slightly stupid. O well thanks for any response.
