Any question answered...

Why do MTB park or jump (specific) bikes have sus forks?
Example: https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/7917232/

Furthermore why not just build them for shorter rigid forks rather than give the option of sticking in something with travel or sus-corrected rigid. Surely that would be stronger?

Basically why don't they just ride a big wheel BMX?

I'm SW so don't know east but our local Sainsburys has parking thats not crazy prices (around £8 a day I think). Many are 24 hour.

Same as other areas of MTB.
Full sus jump bikes are a thing too

Hard tails are going to be faster because you can pump and lose less pedal power but suspension is more forgiving.
Big jumps need strong wrists if you have a rigid fork

MTBers must think BMXers are hard as nails. Or stupid.

It seems particularly silly on dirt jumps as the jumps are all into a sloped landing so there is very little impact force. To flat ground it makes more sense I suppose.

It just seems excessive and expensive to me.

This is all aspects of MTB

More for the slopestyle kind of courses I believe

Are they not both?

Dear Oracle/Oracles/Oracli/Oracleces.
What part(s) if applicable does my pal need to use his standard QR disc front wheel on his 15mm thru axle frame. The wheel is a Fulcrum Racing CX DB (QR version of course).

Cheers

What part

A 15mm thru axle wheel

Ah yeah; I meant is it possible to get a part which converts his QR into 15mm thru axle compatible?

Cheers

Maybe I'll have more luck here: I have a Zipp 404 rear wheel with a 10-speed Shimano freehub . I'd like to run a 11-speed Campagnolo cassette and was hoping to swap the freehub body.
I'm pretty sure it's a 2008 model (24 spokes, aluminium brake track) and I cannot find a freehub body anywhere for what I believe is the 208 rear hub.
Were conversion kits available for pre-2009 hubs? I'd like to avoid buying a new hub and rebuild the wheel if possible.

What you could do is get an 11spd Shimano cassette milled down 1.8mm so that it's fits your freehub, will then work just as well with Campag as a stock cassette.

Or put the freehub body on a lathe I guess? Unfortunately Shimano don't give you the opportunity to spend £300 on a cassette.

I meant is it possible to get a part which converts his QR into 15mm thru axle compatible?

Unlikely but possible. Ask Campag/Fulcrum.

I was sure it was earlier than that, but stone the crows it looks like Argos were selling CRTs at the beginning of 2005

@hugo7 you could do worse than go through this

Or that

Did I dream it, or did someone on here own a Onza T-Pro/Bird/Mag some years ago?

Dead certain I found a comment from them with a dark photo of the bike indoors, but cannot find any reference to it at all now.

Have you found a scrapyard trials bike?

Nah I paid actual money for it, but only pennies so I could build another rat to troll you lot.

One of the two bmx’s is going to the gf, so I needed another nonsense bike.

Giz a go. I was desperate for an onza trials bike when I was a kid. For once I’m impressed. Let’s see

Will do, be prepared to puke on cock.

Mostly bought it to build from parts bin bits, and for something to put the 8-point-something rise Salt bmx bars on, so it's looking more bmx than trials at the moment. Will post a photo when it's complete later this week. No proper internal/integrated headset stuff in the parts box, so it's a bit of a bodge at the mo. Need some proper cranks for it, will use mtb with the granny ring for now if the chainset clears the stay.

It's a box-section T-Pro, by the way, couldn't resist the wobbly seatpost to match the Giant Acid.

One of these?

I always wanted one of the silly low ones with no seat. Maybe those were later

I owned a T-Pro. Think I've mentioned it on here but not posted a pic, I don't think I have any pics of the one I owned. Sold it in the mid-2000's.

edit: guess i have mentioned it^ well remembered.

Yes! It was you! No idea how where or when you mentioned it, I couldn’t find the post when I searched. Thanks for that, I can sleep easier with that solved.

Found it. It was the hacks/bodges thread, where I find much inspo.
