I hear great things about Bedford unis (and Darren, too), but there’s little info on their products that’s easily available. So I’m wondering:
What comes on the Bedford Trials uni? I know it’s a Bedford frame, but which KH seat is it? Which KH hubs/cranks, the 06 or the 07? What pedals? What seatpost?
What’s the difference between the Trials and the Hardcore and the Hardcore Air?
They are the shit of shit, those square tapered cranks. They bent so fast, and I only hopped up and down curbs. I got a norco with a different square tapered crank, and it only broke after four foot drop, four months later. He calls it a “light duty trials”, but that’s BS. Don’t do ANY hops on it. It’s good to upgrade with koxx1 cranks/hub after, giving a pretty cheap good uni. But Darren should seriously try putting some cranks that can hold up a bit more than hops. (It’s trials right?
So if it has “light duty” on it, does it still mean that it will bend off and up a few curbs? Trials IS going up stuff, and should not bend for a person of 130lbs sidehopping A norco 20" m-uni (though it is trials really:) )is much better quality, and many of my local bikeshops around have em:o
The Norco M-uni has the same hub and cranks as the Light Duty from Bedford. I had the Norco and a friend of mine had the Light Duty I have compared the two and the wheel is exactly the same, only difference is the Norco has powder coated cranks.
