I ride an 03 rev3 200, i think that the softer power is alot better when it's slippy, but it has more power than a 125 so it can still chuck me up stuff. I can't post attatchments i don't think, but if someone could tell me how then i will post some pics of my sexy bike for you to check out. Do it need to put them elsewhere? What are those bits on the floor next to your bike lee? But it looks pretty tidy! How do you find the 125 Lee, aren't they fitted with a different carb because I've heard that they pink alot at the top end? Bob

I just started a forum similar to this only about rim grinding. It looks like everybody is grinding their rims now, I expect you could get your rims ground by most good metalworking firms very cheaply if you ask nicely , but otherwise trials bike shops will do it. Bob

Wow! That was amazingly quick! - don't any of you work, im off school for exams which finished on Friday, so im allowed to do nowt. Thanks for your replies, I think i might go for a rim grind from new since there are nearly no trials shops in my area, and i'm not the best with an angle grinder. Perhaps i should get just the rear rim ground, and have the spokes checked on that whilst they have the tyre and wheel off, it only costs around a fiver from 'tarty bikes' where i was looking compared to 25 quid in my local rip off shop. But new pads are a difinite must then, and what about brake boosters, do they just re-enforce the frame/forks to prevent flex and protect the hoses? Bigman, i would upgrade but my megamo really has the most basic of basic setups, and it's about five years old, i could easily spend masses of money on it, i might keep it for spares though, there are a couple of nice bits on it . What do you have to do with Graffics? I sorta know Andy who owns it/used to own it, i know he was on about selling it. Thanks alot! Bob

Hi Folks, A couple of questions from abit of a newbie here. I have been riding trials for a little while and I'm no good at it, but totally addicted. I have outgrown my megamo and am going to upgrade to something which is abit longer and has a reasonable spec. I am thinking about getting an 05 onza T-pro, I can't find anything else that is better value for money and it looks cool too. Anyway my questions are. Firstly when I order the bike would it be worth having the wheels tweaked and trued so as to give them a longer life, or is this better done later once the wheel has bedded in? Or even both? I have read that the bike shop can bed them in somehow. Secondly i know from mates that using rim tar and the right type of pads with HS33's makes a big difference, but i have also heard that rim grinds are better. So do you think i shoud have the rims ground, use tar or buy better pads or a combination. I'd be grateful if you could give your opinions. Thanks, Bob
