brad for a start: -long rising stem (at least 80mm) for even weight distribution on trackstands -wide bars for balance -setup v brakes so that it would "lock" -play using 22t : 19t gearing this is the beginner setup i started with on my chucker... just upgraded later on when i really liked and loved trials... for a really good look at dedicated trials bikes try biketrials.com or see the thread "joolz project bike"...  of course pm the master patrick and get a ryan leech and TRA video from him for inspiration hehehe... |

Joolz said almost everything but I will add some more.
Make your bike as light as possible...
Do-it-all bike means im-not-sure-what-type-of-biking-I-want
Heavy bike means slower progression which means slower appreciation which leads to laziness. hehe
If your going to use shifters then use an 8 speed drivetrain, use a road cog if you can afford it. Use a single chainring in front (22T or less), loose the FD.
Use a lighter saddle, learn to ride the bike standing up.
If you must use a suspension fork buy the lightest you can afford with STEEL steerer tube...and have it adjusted for better handling.
Hey we should ride. Im trying to send you a pm now.

What would be the best rear hub for the trial bike set-up?

Something with many engagements, say something like a 36 engagement hub like Dabomb, Funn to Chris King (72 engagement) or Hope (100+ engagement). Chris King differs by having 72 engagement points compared to the usual pawl design meaning it could handle more torque. As you improve you will give more stress in the pawls in one pedal kick as you make your gapping distance farther.
You can also go front freewheel setup which is a lot cheaper but less reliable.

That is posible if you can find a 135 mtb hub to fit a freewheel, better get a FUNN hub or a dabomb hub.

this will be my golden rule from now on ;D Do-it-all bike means im-not-sure-what-type-of-biking-I-want That is one perspective, but then you could look at it another way: Do-it-all bike means I-can-afford-only-one-bike-but-I-dont-want-to-limit-myself-to-one-type-of-riding.  |

BUT: What I said is more inclined to benefit progression... ie I have a trials bike..with a seat, basically its because its tailored for me. I can learn, practice and buy pandesal with it. If you ride DH you dont want an XC bike/DH bike right? or you don't want a street/DH bike or an XC/DH bike...basically there is no all around bike for people who treat progression seriously. You don't want a triple chainring, long cage RD if you dirt jump 90% of the year on the same bike right? or the common non use of a kickstand? Basically we are talking the same stuff, but your only talking of one segment who already knows what of type of riding they want. I'm sure we are heheIn my case I resist building another bike because I waste precious time riding another style ... I enjoy riding thats it, may it be trials, XC etc as long as im in a bike at the same time I want to improve as well. |

i'm comfortable with a short stem. but you could try with what joolz said since you're going to start trials, it's better to start right!  |
