mine is
MUni-trials: 07 dx 24in, stock wheel longer dx cranks, small block 8 set up as tubless, crank bros 50/50 pedals, stock seat post, and kh freeride seat. i would change the tire it is good for everything but snow and mud. any ideas?

lerning-play: sun 20in, stock wheel and old trials wheel, stock cranks and my old dx ones, kenda small block 8 on both wheels, cheap welgo pedals, stock seat post and seat. i would change seat and pedals.

also have a stock 70 uni

[kevinalexandersmith]

Brendan! how is the sticky lite? :)

4.3 kg! The sticky lite seems very nice after 1 ride. Riding at 35 psi and it feels good. Haven't tried riding it that hard though.

[mexico7]

impact saddle-white

Sweet set up, look forward to seeing how the rim holds up, could you please write a review on it sometime? Thanks

[AlisterBurt]

Thought I'd revive this thread!
My current setup is as follows

Impact naomi - white
Nimbus seatpost - 25.4mm - black
Impact Seatclamp - white
Nimbus "phantom" frame - black
Impact wheelset - white rim, black spokes, white hub
Creepy Crawler tyre - black
I've got a bit of a colour scheme going here :p

In a few weeks I should have my KH longneck, and a bit after that, a carbon fiber seatbase :)

[thestig]

Trials
Koxx one saddle - red/black (would like to get a cf base going )
Tryall pit fighter two seatpost (woud change to pf3/impact no weld)
Red koxx one clamp - who gives a toss
Black koxx one frame or white nimbus 2 frame (would like a long neck kris holm)
Koxx one 32h hub w/ black tryall rim and red rim strip
Koxx one 140mm reinforced cranks (hopefully trading for some k1 streets)
Red tryall pedals (change for impact all bran)
Tryall stiky tyre (change for a lite or a MEC)

Shes basically a stock devil aside from the 32h hub/rim

Muni
Quax muni saddle w/ yellow bumpers (change for a kh freeride yellow)
Tryall post
Quax aluminum 24" frame
Duro 3" tyre
Quax wheelset w/ crappy nimbus cranks 150mm (would like a set of 140mm k1s)

[UniB]

nice set up alister! (muni)

how do the street cranks feel with the 24" rim?

[AlisterBurt]

I dont really have much to compare them to... but I absolutely LOVE them! :)
I put my 137 moments on for a little test (to try the street cranks on my trials uni) and you wouldn't think with such minimal length difference they would feel the same, turns out the streets feel a lot better! :D

[thestig]

Woo 1000 posts ali! i want your streets!

[AlisterBurt]

I know you do, how about, your cranks and tyre, for my streets, creepy crawler and a tenner? :)

Your dream setup was my setup at the beginning of the summer! except for the tire, I had my old school 2.7 Monty:cool: Too bad I went back to CR-MO hub:(

One thing about the Echo TR's, the body will bent if you do big gaps to pedal on them, I bent mine today on a ~4'6" gap up ~90cm landed to pedal. the good thing is that they didn't break right away!:rolleyes:

Yea its taken me a 2.5 years to build it up so far... wouldn't mind trying the the EB carbon frame.

I don't really pedal grab at the moment as where I ride I don't really need to any more. (I really have to start finding harder stuff to do)

You bent yours? Mind sharing a picture? Seems like the TR and SL's aren't that great pedals for trials people afterall

[bobousse]

my current setup is the setup of my dreams
black impact naomi seat with carbon fiber seat frame
kh10 seat post
black impact one bolt seat clamp
black impact long neck reagent frame with Ti bolts for the bearings holder :)

Any ideas when the longneck comes out?

[jaco_flans]

I'll probably but some other pedals on my trials uni and put those Echo's on my Muni, it's just because the body is too thin. I'll post a picture later today, as soon as I take a picture. Do you have any idea what kind of pedals should I get? All my pedals are bent except my old MG-4 wich I dont want to use again:p

the last pedals i rode when i was riding trials were those, really really strong pedals

the pedal name is "specialized lo pro mag" weight 496g

[jaco_flans]

Here it is, I'm probably going to put them on my Muni and try to find another pair of strong pedals for my trials uni.

[jaco_flans]

It's not too bad but that's only from one pedal grab, and I know they can break if I do more that that with them. But anyway, I'll find something else for my Trials uni:)

Fair enough....

[knoxuni]

Is it safe to ride pedals that have a bunch of free play?

[unicycler100]

Is it safe to ride pedals that have a bunch of free play?

Not really, that genrely means the bearing are stuffed or offset

[knoxuni]

Am it he first person to break dx pedals

[unicycler100]

Am it he first person to break dx pedals

I've stuffed the bearing in a pair years ago when I first got my Nimbus trials ISIS (good uni (dosen't exsit anymore))

[AlisterBurt]

I've broken DX pedals too
I need some new pedals, mine play a bit too, can't you tighten them up with a socket wrench or something?

[knoxuni]

when i was riding in the house the whole pedal platform came off the spindle.

[knoxuni]

i put a quick release clamp on muni

[knoxuni]

after riding it for a bit i HATE it

[jaco_flans]

Quick release clamps are just too big and not strong enough to keep the seatpost straight.

I love my CF seatbase on my Muni now! I just need to receive my ISIS Hub from UDC and my Muni will be awesome! At least it will look awesome...

[knoxuni]

i have a isis hub i need to build up

[AlisterBurt]

Completely custom setup now! :)

I want that seat and tire... your uni looks good!:) Once you'll have a CF saetbase you're uni will be perfect!:p

[AlisterBurt]

I know :D thats the very last thing I want for it!
It spins so much more nicely than when I had the nimbus frame on, feels lighter too, can't wait to try it for trials!

[Doc Doo]

Your beast is rather lovely Ali :D

Thanks Scooby! You helped pay for the shiny blue frame :p

how do you like 137 for muni?

[jaco_flans]

how do you like 137 for muni?
They are awesome! It makes the riding way faster, I do feel that I have alot less control than with my 150s but the ride is smoother and faster, I like it better that way ;)

[OutdoorJunkie]

Jacob could you post pics of your muni, in my 'post your muni here' thread ( I made that in my old username.) Particularly the pedals ;) I wanna get some Echo TR's! So do you find them a grippy and comfortable pedal? Thanks!

I'll post pictures tomorrow because I dont have my Muni with me right now.

The Echo TRs are really grippy and really comfy, but I would get pedals with a thicker axle for my Muni, I ride them because I dont want to have wasted 70$ for a pair of pedals:p If you're not riding super hard they should be good, even though I haven't heard of anybody bending or breaking the TR Cr-Mo axle.

[knoxuni]

these are the best pedals i have ever ridden! http://www.crankbrothers.com/pedals_5050xx.php

[knoxuni]

I put some odyssey twisted pc on my muni but haven't gotten to ride it yet. And going to put them on my k1 white widdow when I get it.
