No, it is without a doubt a Bionic frame. Adamants were never made with a rear disc mount.

There are guides, but I use tape instead of Zip ties because the ties I have don't fit, and the ones that do fit break too easily Razz

Your 24 is nothing like contemporary 24" bikes(props!). Yours looks a lot more like a park bike with brakes and a trialsy gearing...I like it.

MG1's are my favorite pedal I right now. I've been running them for 2 years and they haven't let me down yet. I think those Ti MG1's are a bit excessive though...

VP's are good too, but I find they don't last very long. Hit them on anything and they dent majorly...

I've tried some DMR pedals and they seem good too! Pretty similar to MG1's.

Your bike would feel significantly better with different pedals. You could save a lot of weight + add more grip with some MG1's.

Whats with everyone in Ottawa running rear V?

Are you talking about Ryan LEECH? The guy that's PAID to run his bike the way it is? RL didn't run suspension before he was sponsored by Marzocchi.

Sorry to deflate your huge ego, but you are definitely not a pro. From the videos I've seen of you, you better resemble a lower level beginner.

Cyberhawk, seriously, shut up. You're the worst trials rider I've ever seen, and all you do is talk shit. You haven't even tried to give this guy advice. Go back to your hole and get stoned...

Also, you can't see it in that last pic, but the SS cog is also much thicker.

Huge differences in design:
http://is.pinkbike.com/photo/1106/pbpic1106313.jpg

Cassette cogs are designed to be as lightweight as possible, and they're also meant to be replaced regularly. Single speed cogs use a wider base and much stronger hardened steel than cassette cogs. As, you can see in this pic, the cassette cog is drilled to save as much as possible to save weight, whereas the SS cog is not. The SS cog also weighs about 2.5 times as much!

This is why I say its dangerous to run weak drivetrains:

When it happens:

This is what happened to me when my half link chain broke on an up to front:

Not true. Longer forks make it harder to get your front wheel higher. If you rely on suspension to do hops, then your technique is seriously flawed.

I've broken 6 cassettes from trials riding. The cogs are just not strong enough, and if the chain skips between cogs, it can bend them really badly.

Any chain you run can be snapped, but some are much easier than others. I could break an MTB chain in one ride. Half link chains last me 2-3 months. I've run KMC 810 chains on a few of my bikes and have never had them break. I ran one on 3 different bikes for a total of 18 months of use, and it never snapped, but I replaced it because it was skipping quite badly. Most non half link BMX chains are your best choice for trials riding.

Not as long if you run rear disc.

"Sure you may bash me for using a suspension fork, or gears, DH components, a Norco, or maybe even because it's not a mod bike. "

not bashing you bro, bashing the bike setup.

Things I see wrong with it:

Slow engaging rear hub. You'll notice this really quickly when you start doing pedal kicks!
Gears (which will begin to skip a lot under trials use, and eventually the cassette will explode)
Derailleur that could get damaged on sidehops.
MTB chain. Running these can be VERY dangerous. It'll snap in no time!
Mega long stem with no rise. Going to make the already short geo feel weird.
Suspension fork. Suspension has no advantages when used for trials. It'll wear out quicker, and it's a lot heavier.
Looks like your levers are too angled down. This is personal preference, but the further down they're angled, the harder it makes tucking sideways or over the rear wheel for bigger moves. Having your levers set at about 45 degrees is pretty good.

I like your choice in brake setup. If you're not using aftermarket pads yet, its something you might want to look into. As far as rims go, with evolves its not really important. Norco's have really narrow brake mounts in the back so you wont be able to fit a wide rim in there anyway.

Oh by the way, my friend has an evolve like yours. I helped him set it up this spring, and now its so sick. Here's a pic:

I was sorta referring to everything. I hate to sound critical, but you pretty much failed at building a trials bike.

If I had that thing I'd probably run a shorter stem and a longer fork (suspension?) and turn it into a jump/street/basics trials bike haha. That thing does look pretty awesome!
