There is a way to polish complicated shapes. Its a process where you put the metal parts into a shaker with ceramic stones. Those flatten the surface to shiny by gently hammering it. In german it's called "Hochglanzverdichten". Try finding some place that offers "Barrel Finishing" (that's the correct translation I belive). It's often used by specialized rim shops that refinish curbed car wheels

I also bought an used trial bike, last week, first ever for me. I worked on adjustments just to allow me the initiate standing on the back wheel: lifting the handlebar's extender and turning down the brakes controlers. I don't have enough strenght yet to control it and no reference to compare it to anything else thsn my regular front suspension mountain bike. But sure thing is I will change the handlebar for an incurved as soon as I can. (I found it much easier to stand on back wheel when belly is very close to touching the handlebar's pivoter). I like those of your videos which I saw yet. I'll check all of them. Thanks for them! Real inspiration and good hints on how to train.

Nice vid! 10:33 it looks like an Avid rotor and adapter with a Shimano brake. Also the last owner set up the brake incorrectly. Those washers between the caliper and adapter don’t go there on Shimano brakes. Only Avid. So the caliper is a bit too far out and not fully grabbing the brake.
@escay5 жыл бұрын
Good buy with the Hope hubs! The conversion to 'bolt on hub' is already quite expensive. Perhaps selling some parts like the Shimano brake could give you some additional small budget. Looking forward to this series. I'm in the process of building / upgrading a second hand dirt jumper, where finding the right fork seems to be the trickiest part if you are low on a budget.
