Gt Trials Prototype Dream Build!
Gt Made a few Prototype trials frames for their team riders, sadly they never put them into production. Somehow The Cute Thief got his hands on one plus some parts and I had the pleasure of putting it together!
BIG thanks to Aaron Lutze for actually supplying the frame, please go check out his awesome channel here: www.youtube.com/@UCzn_TdK8HCt5XS8vlbTR4-A
Also a big thanks to Trialtech for supplying a few of their cool products too!

Bike Trials Mega Compilation!
Переглядів 2,1 тис.14 днів тому
Unfortunately my run of injuries is on going with my latest one being an injured back! Due to practically being bed ridden this last week I've been unable to make any new content so I've put together a mega competition compilation video of every trials comp I've done on this channel so far. My previous compilation videos did decently well so I hope you can enjoy this one too...it's a long one! ...

Yes, Pivot and I are no longer a couple! We had fun, adventures were had and memories made but nothing lasts forever and it's time to start a new journey. All details are in the video but I want to give thanks to Pivot here too, Josh from Saddleback is a dude and I genuinely did love the bikes. I'm looking forward to what comes next. Cheers!

    Awsome bike. Nois pure trials video incoming? Btw modern mtb tyres and trials specific rims tend to not seat. I could not get my conty trailkings seat at all. 1/4 tyre would sit 10mm deep from the rim bead. Trialtyres only since then.

      It’s exactly the same process as I’ve said in the video but if you do one side three cross, when inserting the key spoke for two cross you move one hole to the left…if going radial you count three holes to the left
