So im building a new trials uni here are the specs :
Koxx hub K1 cranks 125 Tryall rim (I know its weak illl change it later) Monty white stripe trials tire (will cahnge that too I have 1 right now so yea) Plastic pedals Nimbus 2 frame (if anyone has one for sell pm either that or a kh frame dont care what year) and a piece of [censored] seatpost but a thomspon will go on in like 1-2 weeks..
SO what do you all think ? bad ? good ? suggestions ?
you could get a different, cheaper, stronger rim, and save like $25.

that was neat, now i only have to put it to use. parents banned my uni due to low school marks so if there are any nerds out there with a kind heart, i have a psychology assignment that is a few weeks over due, it is on intelligence.
ok so wait.. forrest 125s are bad for street ? k ill get metal pedals I guess.. and maybe a kh frame.. my budget is kinda low right now tho.. fricken car..
125's are great for street, i don't know what forrest is talking about, i rode a koxx1 hub and 110mm cranks for a long time and they held up great for street.

Well if you do alot of rails and ledges, plastics would be nice. Oddysees(however the [censored] you spell it) plastics are really good. Metal pedals with grind plates would be okay but would suck if you did things like unispins and flips.(don't know if your into that though).

trey varial hickflip over an 8 set ummm... You really have to try harder, i've done that down an 11 set. Sorry. -Shaun Johanneson
Odyssey twisted plastic pedals are really good when they are brand new. If you do a lot of grinding then they will start to suck. I ride some really old odyssey plastics right now and they are perfect for my riding even though they have very little grip left, probably not as good for really big stuff because you want a lot of grip. When my feet slide off doing flatland it isn't a big deal, if they slipped off hopping down a 10 set then well...ouch.

(disclaimer: i may not know what i am talking about)
IF you like jumping sets and doing jumps into one foot and things like that then I would recommend trying out the 110's, I love mine. I found I lost a bit of control when landing onto really skinny things (perpendicular to the wheel) but other than that I find them to be alot smoother and much faster meaning I can almost jump 8 sets without hopping.
Monty tyre (if its the new one [the holey one]) I have heard to be GREAT. But, that was from a trials rider (respectable one, Joe hodges 2nd in trials at unicon). Plastics are cool, really nice, depends how big you go.
