This Bike Was ALMOST Perfect

- My Crewkerz competition trials bike was nearly perfect. One too many skips of the front freewheel had me searching for some new options - and I found it in the form of an Industry9 hub.
Most trials bikes utilize a front freewheel setup, so this is a big change for a competition bike setup. Big thanks to Carsinn Wilson and Matt Gilman for all the mechanical support with this project!

The smallest chainring I can find for my 104 BCD crank is 30t, I have a 9spd 11-36 sprocket ( bike is also for commute) would you suggest 9spd 11-40t?
I think you could make that work, for sure!
@@SuperRiderTV thanks
Upgrades, riding (group ride no less) and even a hop n pop.
Great clip.
Also makes me want a comp bike, even if it's not as fancy as that one.
Thanks!! Can you tell the comp bike has kind of taken over lately? Having so much fun with this bike!
High Rocks park is an amazing place. I really wish I had a place like that here too. 😊
High Rocks can be overwhelming sometimes, too many lines to choose from! :)
I had a FFW on my old trials bike- it was OK. On my MTB I have a Hope Pro4 for gears and for streety playing I have an I9 SS hub. Those engagement points are insane...
Awesome! You've got some dialed setups! This is my first ever i9 hub and I'm super excited to get rolling with it!
Love that riding spot, looks like so much fun.
You're welcome to join us any time! Would be stoked to show you around out here...trials and MTB!
It's hard to think of a rim that is more holes than not as being strong. Wonder how they hold up with linebacker sized riders?
Should check out damon watson th-cam.com/video/dhjgDrTrjuo/w-d-xo.html
Interestingly enough, I bent the original rim on a ride a few weeks ago (not too bad, I was able to get it back in shape with a spoke wrench). That was the first time I've ever bent a wheel on any bike...
Hi Aaron, upon discovering your channel about a month ago you have become my main inspiration and mentor on my mtb skill journey. Thanks a ton! My question is, would it be more efficient to jump on a street trial bike to learn trial skills and transfer it back to my 9ner full sus, comparing to sticking with my initial bike and progressing slowly? (heard about a seasoned mtber complaining having absolutely no edge when he switched to a comp bike and had to relearn everything all over again)
Hi Sunny! Thanks for watching! I agree, you'll have a much easier time transferring your skills from a 26" street trials bike (Inspired Hex or something like that) to a mountain bike. The positioning on a competition bike doesn't lend itself that well to MTB positioning. If you have any trouble finding a 26" street trials bike, you'd be totally fine to get your hands on a dirt jump frame and put a longer stem on it. Super similar setup and should do the trick! Have fun!
I’ve got a front freewheel on a comas r26, do they all skip? Ive heard that crack skip sort of noise before. Cheers nick
That’s the skip! They do eventually bed in, but it can take a little time to get to that point. Eventually it stops…I’m just extremely impatient. :)
Hi just wandering what size front and rear sprockets do you run on this bike ?
18t in the front, 15t in the rear!
Was the front freewheel and crank interface shimano HG splines or is it a proprietary design?
Yeah, HG Splines - it's a "normal" freewheel that could pop on any other hub (with HG splines).
Can you just do both??
The sound of stereo high engagement might be too much stimulation for a mere mortal.
That’s a funny idea - will it be a case of “the weakest link” and be only as good as the least engaging free spinny ratchet thing?
@@jeffhayes1855 Maybe add a clutch on the chain. Chain tensioners tend to do that anyway.
You could...but it wouldn't help your engagement. Instead of one fixed point and one freewheel, you'd essentially have two floating points. That all adds up to less overall engagement (and more moving parts to deal with). Not recommended. :)
@@SuperRiderTV In my best Bill Lumbergh voice... "Aaron, I'm going to need you to stay late and put both freewheels on that bike".
Lot of street trial riders had problems with i9... it's weack for trials moves
Interesting…that’s the first I’ve heard of anyone having problems with it. Hopefully this holds up!
Your bike (and riding) is looking dialed!
Thanks!! Helps to have friends to ride with! 🤝
super!
Thanks!!
Hopefully that wheels holding up with all that abuse you’re putting on it. I built that wheel around some gentle riding on some paved paths. Not intended for the crazy things that you do. Ha.
Haha!! Thanks again, stoked that we got to collaborate on this one!
