Similar to my build, but a long'ish custom steel frame, w/ higher bb, shorter seat tube and chain stays, the lighter Reba 32 100 fork. Also use a tensioner to run two cogs, but can switch with no tools. Front suspension is so much easier on the joints.

Super cool! LOVE your riding, come from a similar background of trials/bmx, even was in a circus (not for biking tho). I'm looking to build something VERY similar so this helped me SO much. Thanks a lot for the video and insights into what has worked and what hasn't.

I've just come across this video after building up the same kind of bike! I come from a trials background and decided to build up a DJ / Street trials kind of do it all bike as something new to do during lockdown here in the UK. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

A very interesting build. Thanks for posting, that’s really useful. For a DJ frame with less BB drop I think The Rise Party Master would work well.

James - you ever have any back hub movement in the horizontal dropouts when doing wild trials stuff? Moving forward or backward. It looks like you have some chain tug things on there but they only pull one way usually. Just curious.

Really cool vid! I was inspired by this to make my own ultimate street frankenbike and I want to ask you: how did you manage to make a custom cassette or what was the technique to fit those 2 different cogs on the rear wheel?

Just single cogs and spacers. The cogs are a surly 22t and a Chris king 12t. Spacers you can get from any bike shop.

Is the spank rear rim 35 the same as 350 ? In europe I can`t seem to find the 35 model :) Also as a side question as I`m thinking to do a similar build, for that chain tensioner, do you need a derailleur hanger from the frame in order to attach it when you want to switch to the smaller back cog? Thanks so much and keep up the amazing vids man !
@jamesbtrials

Spank doesn’t make the rim anymore. Might have replaced it with the 350. Not sure. For the tensioner, yes, it required a hanger.

Couldn't the bike you want be the Hex Inspired frame with the Pike fork? It would be a little shorter but at the beginning you said that you don't care about the "whellbase" ..... and it would be the only one to have the shorter rear stays and the higher bottom bracket. Obviously the steering angle is more vertical.
@jamesbtrials
3 жыл бұрын
I have a hex, it rides a lot different. I think it’s a combination of a few things. Bb height, head angle, and reach. With the pike fork the bb would be maybe +30? I think I’d loose a little too much stability. Unfortunately I can’t try it out because the one I have isn’t a tapered head tube. The new hexes look sick! I’d ride one for more trials and less tricks.

Nope! It moves in line with the brake so there is minimal difference to the brake pad position.
