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!

Please watch in the highest quality possible for best results. It's a good time to be alive as there's more choice of action cameras on the market than ever!

Im such a tease aren't I! Before I built my latest Hex I hinted I was going to be fitting a very special product from Canada and I asked on my socials for you to guess what it could be. Nobody guessed correctly which wasn't a huge surprise for me, I like to think I keep my finger on the pule of what products are available but this one slipped me by and I only discovered it's existence recently....

Is this the most requested bike build I've ever had? I think so, it's certainly been right at the top of my list of dream trials bikes since I was a. teenager! BIG...HUGE thanks to Peter who got in touch and donated this bike, that's one of the most generous things ever happen to me and my appreciation can't be expressed!

So hands up if you've come straight here to find out about my injury?

anyone know the reason to actually have the shorter cranks? i need some new ones for my old mod bike and the longest i can find are 160 with a front Freewheel and a JIS square taper. right now it has a rear freewheel and some trialtech cranks lol
To much talking.
Not enough walking
Was that really necessary to put a child-sized bike on a slider?
Great video and what a lovely guy 👍
trial- shit!
?
Lots of interesting technical commentary and almost free of background music: brilliant.
Hmmm... contemplating upgrading my X3 with an X4! Definitely looks like a great improvement.
How is the bike so quiet😱
Danny McCatskill? 😼
Look at it shine! 🪩 Keep them puns coming Finbar Saunders 👌
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.
I've been subscribed to him for a while, and I believe he pronounces his surname "loot zee".
I think the thing that just made this move click in my head is thinking about the preload as a big wag of the tail/ your butt
Is that a tubeless ready tyre?
I prefer to rub my nob...ijs
why not using TPU inner tube ? You could get nearly the same weight than tubeless while still having a tube.
I think that could be a decent option with a thick heavy tyre like this, I have used them in the past though and they rarely survive my first ride
Hi Ali sorry I am 3 days late been busy all weekend fixing my LT450 and helping my friend with his 700 raptor Better late than never 😂😂 amazing build Great video as always and the adult joke icing on the cake
Get better brake pads .
Not sure if there are any better ones
Tannus inserts and TPU tubes are the future You should give it a go
I hear the issue with the tannus armour is that at higher psi the foam gets squashed and ends up quite thin
@@Ali_Clarkson I just got a new set of 24". when I put them in my flows wheels I will check the ones I have been riding for about 6 months and see if they are compressed. I have run them at 40 PSI so maybe they are compressed. Ill report back with what I find
So this is when you fell in love with the hex?
To be honest I loved the Hex before this too, I rode a Hex before I rode the Arcade and actually helped develop it, i have videos of me on the prototype hex from around 2010 :)
I didn’t know these existed. Now I want one 😁
hope
I've got an almost new rear try-all tyre in the shed if you want it?
Thanks for the offer! I actually have one here too but I never liked the rear versions, they have absolutely zero spring to them at all!
Do you even wheelie?
That first spot was insanely cool
There are some wheels that come from factory with two lace patterns. Like 3x on the drive side and 2x onde NDS. I did lace one this way, but I take the longest route or lace 3x than redo the nds to 2x. is there any tutorial on how to lace those wheels?
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
Love it! If you ever want rid of the frame then I'd like to cash in the favour you owe me when I sent you that Echo frame a few months back and get first dibs ;)
9.5 is heavy? Damn! I thought trials bikes were as heavy, bloated and unwieldy as my dad!
Modern comp bikes are about a kilo lighter than this at least
ua-cam.com/video/Lt1I5C3izao/v-deo.htmlsi=kaTBLs3Vhh0cf3XZ
Are you serious about people running water inside their brakes?
Absolutely!
Thank god. I was actually thinking Ali the Madman would run it tubeless.
Whyte Bikes is my guess. Recently award winning. They don’t have any 27.5 in their new range though, hmm
Love that bike. The right tyres, a 20 degrees stem (140/150) and get the bar down and the bike will get you mad
10:45 you should say they weight you saved is rotational mass at the extremity of the circumference which actually helps fast acceleration for lurches more than you might think (at the risk of sounding geeky)
Honestly, watching your videos is so much more entertaining than pretty much every other bike channel on YT, the humour, the Cute Thief, the thwacking, and just seeing a pro build some truly unique bikes, it all comes together lovely.
Awesome build! Gives me happy memories of my GT team trials bike i had way back in 90's made famous by the legendary Hans no-way ray, just way smaller obviously!
Such a beautiful bike! Looking forward to see you riding it!😉
I miss having the white try-all tyres
I have this exact freewheel on the fixed cassette hub of my polo bike. No noticable drag, and all the noise you could ask for.
This is the reason why without white people this world would be boring! I watched this whole video curious about the final appearance and purpose of this bike frame after it was built. Now, I finally know!!
I can't believe UA-cam would allow videos of the inside of a Strip Club - shocking!
That is one stunning frame 😘👌 I've always been a fan of polished GT bikes.
Bloody brilliant… awesome bike complimented with a sick build video..as you know I love a gt also…
When I first saw these being ridden by Kenny and Hans I thought they were just rebadged/ stickered up frames from one of the renowned manufacturers 🤔
Выглядит классно! Жаль что не пошел в серию
YES!!! The head stem thwacker is still around!!! Welcome back woody!!!
Yay!!! Another bike build video!!! That GT Trials looks sweet! 😍😍😍 The cute thief really has a nice taste for bikes!!! 😸😸😸 Btw, that headset installer!!!👍 Smashing it with wood... Brings back memories...😅 Hahaha...
Oh man! I remember seeing Kenny Bealey riding these bikes, maybe 2010? Beautiful machine. Incredible job. All that Trialtech goodness😮 🤤
