    So you've seen Cam McCaul and others bar spinning, tail whipping and never blowing a hose... Here's the trick a Trixer Hydraulic Rotor.

    Coming from a German manufacturer, the rotor replaces your upper crown and spacers. Add your Goodridge brake lines and you've got the best system money can buy.

    More information on their site. http://www.trickstuff.de/eng/prod_twister.htm

    Seems you can only buy it in their online store: - check the list on the new products page - they have a lot of varied options to suit your needs.

    Tr!xer - The Hydraulic Rotor, 1 1/8" Fork, 1.5" steerer tube, standart headset, DOT brake fluid The Trixer is like a special spacer between headset and stem.

    Just with the Trickster is it possible to spin the bar how ever you want - while using a hydraulik brake!
