Trials experiment. An old "medium" Specialized Rockhopper that was left in our garage for too long. A friend bought me a pair of short Monty cranks so I decided to turn the Rockhopper into a trials bike. Once again, I believe all the parts from the original have been replaced besides the frame and the bottom bracket (which creaks really bad). I had to carve out the rear dropouts with a Dremel to be able to get enough tension in the chain to ride it. I used some wood clamps to tighten up the chain before tightening on the rear wheel. The geometry isn't quite right for a trials bike so I'm looking for another frame to move the parts to. Here is a current parts list:
- Monty Cranks
- Aheadset 1" Threadless Headset (yes, I had to convert it)
- "Big Cheese" BMX stem (it was the only thing I could find to fit the application)
- BMX 2.5" Riser Bars
- Chromo Tange Front Fork
- XT Rear V-Brake
- Deore Front V-Brake
- Shimano Front Free Wheel
- SRAM 1/8in Chain
- Rhyno Lite Rear Wheel, Surly 1x1 Hub, DT Spokes, WTB 2.3in Tire, and Shimano Fixed Gear
- shitty front wheel
