FaRSightxc2 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 For anyone that voted option one it is 'trials' not 'trails'. Trials biking is jumping on/off/over big walls and stuff and is 'trick' biking, whereas 'trails' riding is more like mountain biking or CC (Cross Country) - riding along rugged paths etc. I *as stated in the first post* do trials - the jumping off big walls one ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/182389-you-bike/page/2/#findComment-2364070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornett Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I used to do DH and dual slalom, until I saw my mate's forks snap and give him a faceplant resulting in two broken bones in his neck and a cut right across his neck ending 2mm away from his jugular vein!

D_Dude Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Don't really bike often at all. But its good to watch, and I went mountain biking in canada in the summer (fernie BC if anyone wants to know), nice big downhill bikes (i think), armour and everything. Lots of fun.

Zilos Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I love mountain biking and trail riding! Planning on buying a new Specialized either the Rockhopper, or Stumpjumper. heres another shot 585682621[/snapback] I noticed yours has mechanical disc breaks, I'm stuck between getting hydraulic or mechanical ones on my new bike. How do you like the mechanical ones?? :unsure: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/182389-you-bike/page/2/#findComment-585789758 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like the mechanical ones?? :unsure: 585789758[/snapback] Hydros are more responsive and are need less maintanace, with mechanical there still prone to cable issues that normal brakes suffer like stretching and the constant need to lube them all the time. Though mechanical ones are usualy cheeper. Ive got Hayes hydros on my GT and there great just need to look over the disks every few months and change the pads every so often. Just need new rims. Mine have been re-built like 20 times there far to week now.

I do lots of off-trail riding in the mountains, and don't wanna end up with no breaks. :p Thanks.

Zilos Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Just bought a new Specialized Rockhopper yesterday, and got them to throw on some Hayes Hydrolic Disc Breaks instead of the Mechanical ones that would normally come with it. And damn do they work well! Too bad I gotta work tonight, I've been out riding all day....
